hi all.i am picking up my02 sti on thursday and am a bit confused. i have just read an old thread on wheather its a prodrive or just prodrive style. now the chap i bought it of insists it is a proper prodrve,as it says on logbook -wrx sti prodrive.its a great car anyway but would be better if was ppp.any info would be great thanks

 

You have bought the best bang per book scooby.......I salute you sir

If it has the PPP then you will have a genuine PPP certificate saying so, otherwise it will have the lights, grille, spoiler of a "classic car"

I guess it's in blue as the black version is even more special LOL

Pics always welcome

nice one mate am only 2nd owner inside is as new cant wait and yes its blue.so how come it says prodrive on logbook?

 

sorry it also has blue clocks not sure if other sti do but i have read that only prodrive have blue clocks.realy cant f****** wait, had a good test drive and fell in love. compared to my old 99 v uk turbo 2000 it felt more sharp,and tight,this will be longest couple of days in my life!!!!!!!

 

Body has different sills, big rear spoiler, different front bumper and fog light covers, blue dials inside, and is easy capable of 330 bhp with a re-map.

Welcome to a small but select bunch, ignore the "face-lift" masses they are just jealous !

LOL

P.S. Engine can cope with around 400 bhp, but maybe not the clutch !

P.P.S. Shame they weren't numbered as a limited edition really !

 

im off to bed to dream till thursday will get some pictures up soon

 

If it says Prodrive in the logbook then it has the Prodrive Style Pack. Of course it's possible it has the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) as well, as a few cars do. The Style pack is easiest to recognise from the front:





That was mine as standard: note the "wrap-around" foglight covers: the usual STI has insert ones. The radiator grille is different, and the Prodrive version has those side skirts, which the normal STI is missing (it has a plainer version).


Identifying whether it really has a PP without a cert is a lot harder though.

Just bought one last week they are called a wrx sti prodrive style and the PPP was a £2000 optional extra call subaru and ask for the prodrive number to see if the car has ever had the ppp fitted the one i was looking at said it had it but had my suspisions as the back box will have a prodrive stamp not an sti one . Spoke to a very heloful guy at prodrive gave him the chassis number as they have a record of all PPP fitted no record found ,spoke to the previous owner of the guy who i was buying it off as found a receipt with his number on he told me more history about the car it has had the scoobyclinic 320bhp pack fitted and he had all the receipts for it which i now have cracking car hope you enjoy it . I am !!!!

Be very careful with your grill, bumper and foglight covers chap.

Theyre majoryly expensive and rare as rocking horse poo.

One of the best scoobs out there IMO.

 

Good choice matey. Got one myself and its been the best scoob ive owned by far! It seems to look better the older it gets. All the best.

 

had mine four years sc remap to 333/332 never had one problem,best and most reliable scoob ive had to date.i would be very reluctant to let it go for anything else i only saw about three or four prodrive styled sti,s at gathering last weekend.youve got an excellent car.

 

I know this is going to turn into the Prodrive style appreciation thread but I cant resist. Heres mine taking the other day after a clean

 

i also have one of these and i agree by far the best scoob ive ever owned too.good luck with yours and hope you enjoy it

 

Agree with all the above i also drive a prodrive style the best looking of all

 

Pssst !

W R X , you need a new user name mate, in my humble opinion....

How about S T I ?

LOL

couldn't agree more

after nearly 4 years of ownership she hasn't let me down once

 

Ive got one im second owner from new and only has 13 thou on clock i use it very rarely but when i do always puts a smile on my face and as said it will say prodrive on v5 but doesnt mean has prodrive upgrade.enjoy
