For those that have had this fitted for afew weeks now just how good is it. Does it really transform the car into something better or was this just an initial reaction by some people.

Anyone know where that graph is that showed in-gear times of standard car against PPP car.

What is fuel consumption like with PPP compared to standard.( Need to know this to explain to Mrs why we need it)

Chip.

 

All I can say is

 

My first impressions were that... I was not gobsmack by it's perfomance but very pleased

Now a few weeks on

Performance was not the real problem with the 02STi7 If you drive it to the buzzer it would go like stink
It was the day to day performance... no Torque no take off always in the wrong gear to few Revs to many

PPP has more power more Torque better low speed take off better Exhaust note Keeps warrenty and added value to your car

Tony

Down side !!!!!! Tesco's an extra £16.80 for Insurance and how much are Tyres cause they wont last long now

 

Tony

What did you tell tesco to get that premium? Direct line use the same underwriters, so what works with Tesco should work with DL.

 

Sorry to ask.

Whats PPP?

thanks

 

Neil,
I had already told them about upgraded Xhorst early in year and + 15% power increase to cover my *** can't remember the increase This £16.80 was for the ECU to be included in Xhorst upgade + up to 20% increase of Power

Tony

 

I agree with Tony - it grows on you more as time goes by and you dial into it more. We also have the advantage of comparing it to Carolyn's bog standard STi7. You realise how strangled the standard car is above 6000 rpm, and how the PPP just rolls you along on a BIG wave of torque cross country in fourth and fifth gears.

Even better, I was out in my garage this afternoon and three bits of the exhaust mysteriously fell off; to be replaced with TSL centre and Firestorm back box - it now sounds like it goes - two resonators gone plus a smaller backbox

Also got the 18" Prodrive PFF-7's and Toyos on this afternoon too

Any change in MPG?

 

PS

Dave
For the amount of money you spend on bits a Scoobynet plus account would seem to be a must

 

Its funny that Dave mine fell off too A Blitz Nur spec grew in its place though

 

Neil
HTF do I know?! I just pour it in one end, and burn it out the other

I would hope that my MPG has deteriorated at least 25% in line with the increase in performance

Re ScoobyPlus account, ta but I prefer to discuss my discounts with retailers in private - I might get better ones
Certainly not paying up front for the privilege!

True, but then again you might not ,it also keeps SN going and its less effort

In anycase I think Simon should award you a SN+ account for single handedly keeping the Impreza tuning market boyant in the middle of a recession

Somehow I doubt if ANYONE can strangle better discounts than me - who else got a big discount off their STi7 PPP

 

You mean I should'nt have paid 1100 quid for mine

 

Dave -- discount - whats that?

Sammy
LOL

Actually, you can't get cheaper than my PPP - I haven't even paid for it yet - awaiting the invoice

 

PPP was well cheap, the 10k service was bloody expensive though

 

Dave in that case they are going to give you a 50% discount but charge you 4K in the first place

 

Nah, as Neil says, Prodrive/IM/dealers need my custom

 

I forgot to put the OEM back resonator section on when I went for PPP and forgot me spare keys
The sound of the car is nice and throaty compared to the Std STi but I will be doing a Rolling road day November 16th I will do 2 runs trying my Magnex B/Box for one of them to compare

Tony

 

Tony believe it or not with the Nur spec on mine it revs like hell but I am not sure on how the power is effected

 

Sammy,
I'll post the results pop down it's in Cheltenham Power Station Look in Midlands

The Petrol consumpsion has definately gone up since PPP'd I usaully get off 50Ltrs.... 130-150 miles since PPP 150 - 170 miles it just gets better

Tony

 

Nooooooooooo Dave .
You gone all Max Power with the tailpipe man!!!!
5" great on a Skyline but why on an STI???
I ran a super dragger on my old 5 door for a couple of months but it was just tooooo big.
PS I knew what you meant about the lights.....was just 5hittin with ya
Off to meet baldy Felsted in the morning to trundle in some mud.

 

Hehehe...it is very M** P****, the curse of tasteless Trouser strikes again

Sounds good though

What ya up to with Fuzztop Felstie? Rallying?

 

Dave

Two resonators gone ??

 

Nurspec R on mine is hideously loud, I should of known James Harvey was selling it for a reason

Gonna have to run it 90% of the time with the bung in, wonder how it compares with a firestorm ?

 

WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PETROL CONSUMPTION I ASSUME YOU MEANT MPG WENT UP?
