sad to see it go but felt it was right time to move on.
being my first scoob it will always be special and i hope someone looks after as i did...





but i've got to say im so impressed with the set up and smoothness of the wrx and with the ppp fitted i cant wait for the running in to end and the fun to begin...

whats the performance like on the new ppp wrx

davek

stevebt

running in and only done 150 miles so cant go over 4k revs,(very frustrating).was going to have it put on at 1k service but the pack turned up after 3 days so they put it straight on.
the only thing i can comment on is the extra torque, it picks up easy at low revs in a high gear.
i plan to do a few long journeys so in a week or so, oil change & unleash...

Any more mods planned

Good to see people sticking with a Scoob.

Doesn't half make your classic look pretty though.

cheeseboy

7 foot - you got it in one! Just something about the newer models - they look good, hell they look great, but they seem to be lacking some of the old character... dont know, cant quite put my finger on it - big wing, lowering,?? maybe that is what is missing... dont know......

Otherwise nice -

simple answer, the classics look more agressive (in standard form of course)....

u have a ppp'd wrx sti 8

does the ppp not include a rear wing like it did on the classic package?

need to get rid of the rear ironing board but wot a car to move on to from ur 1st scoob, lucky git

ice man

Nice car mate but needs bigger wheels, IMHO they dont agree with the car

davek

thanks guys,

the mods will come, but not performance wise as i dont want to mess with the warranty. was looking at 18" wheels but i think where the rolling circumference would still be the same under the big wide arches, only lowering the car would really change it.still food for thought.
as for the spoiler i have heard subaru have another one in the pipeline similar to the p1 spoiler so i will wait & see on that.

i agree about the classic there is & always will be something about it being the original rally scoob but after driving the new one around for a few days you realise how much they have moved on.

now wheres that accessories book, i feel another mod coming...

Forgive the dum questions. I've always wanted a scoob and can now afford it so i've ordered an '03 WRX. was just wondering what the PPP was for and does it affect insurance? oh and price.

Cheers,

A tweek here and there

postie69

don't lower it just get the wheels , 19ins !!!!

davek

st,

the ppp ( prodrive performance pack ) can be ordered & fitted by the dealer, ( exhaust, ecu & hoses changed) and therefore doesn't affect the warranty. It costs £1600 but gives you extra 40 bhp and up to 25% more torque. There seems to be a slight increase on most insurance co.s but fortunately mine isn't one of them.
If its your first scoob i'd give it time to get used to it first.

As for the little tweek glimpse on the lowering i think its definitely the way to go but with 18"s as i like a bit of rubber ( ooh eh) to protect from potholes etc.

Brun - You've made that car look soooooooooo heavy it can't get off the ground
