Who is goin to be the first to run in there sti8 ppp, must be someone who has done enough miles to see what performance this awesome car has. some comments please.......

 

I can think of at least two people who have run in STi 8 PPP's and have been so for at least a month

Matt

 

Strange thread

 

Just got my STi8 PPP back from 1st service, and im now off out for a blast around my fav twisties in the lakes

Phil G

 

Indeed Matt.

Had the PPP done at the first service at the beginning of Feb, and I've done about 1500 miles with the PPP now.

 

Why strange thread just want to no what type of performance the sti8 ppp has, as every garage i go to for a test drive will not give me a proper drive due to running in car. Tell me does it really go from 0-60 in 4.5 secs , i mean this i ferrari spec.....

 

Not strange at all. The Subaru site quotes 4.62 seconds to 60mph and 0-100 in 12.20 seconds. Quick in anybody's book. Get my PPP at the end of March and haven't been anticipating anything with such excitement since my kids were born !

 

Juliano,

Where abouts are you?

Matt

 

West Midlands Matt.Why you ask?

 

so about as fast as a p1
martin

 

No. It's quicker

 

I only said strange thread beacause of 'who will be first to run in their sti8 ? Some of the cars have been on the road over 2 months now ?, so obviously some are run in ?

If your talking about performance then thats different again, but not what the thread was originally asking

Strange thread

Lets have some opinions on what the sti8 PPP is like at full pelt or something, and any other mods that have improved handling, type of aftermarket wheels to fit and where to get the best deals

Hmmm Maybe I should start a thread ! LOL



Steve

 

4.62 quite impressive, nearly as good as a classic Japanese 280ps import . Didnt Harry P's 22B do 3.9 with just a back box ?.

 

yeah baby ive did a 4k standing start, with me whipping up the clutch hard and managed a 4.8 0-60 time

im told a 6k standing start will slash that time by sumbody thats done them
although i will defo not be doing any 6k standing starts!!!!
thats in a my97 wrx

 

If you read the question right steve777, then you would realise that i was talking about performance as i have not seen many threads on here talking about sti8 ppp, most still say they are running in thers sti8 ppp hence the tile "run in".

 

Without taking sides the question was who was going to be first to run it in and not about perfromance so the answer was that plenty of people already have run them in . I guess thats what Steve meant as I thought it a little strange as well. Well at least you got a few replies .

What is wrong with u 2 people can u not read, the question consited of " must be someone who has run in there sti8 to see what PERFORMANCE it has" er i think u should put ur specs on before u read ur screen m8.

 

here we go... sti.. 1500 miles or so...

0-956 miles... 4000 rev limit... nice pull, oh dear need to change gear now
956-1106 miles... somewhat highter rev limit car = fast
1106-1547 miles... now with ppp.... car = fuggin fast

My STi8 PPP is now run in,
First impressions on the performance against my MY00 PPP are that STi8 has bag and bags more torque and pulls very very smoothly, the speed you are carrying is very deceptive until you look at the speedo,
I am still coming to terms with a 6 speed box, but i would think that if the box is used correctly then the pace of this car across country will be very hard to beat,

It is without a doubt the quickest/most effective car that i have driven

Phil G

 

every one says that the 8 is awesome across country - but are the pads made out of compressed camel poo or what?

I'm still running mine in, but that doesn't prevent me carrying some speed into a corner..

The brakes seem to get very hot very easily - and the smell!

 

LOL okay but look at this

Who is goin to be the first to run in there sti8 ppp, must be someone who has done enough miles to see what performance this awesome car has. some comments please.......


Try this question :

Who is goin to be the first down the pub tonight, must be someone who has aleady gone there before seen what their excellent beer tastes like. some comments please ..........

Now is the question about who is down the pub first tonight or the beer quality or both ?

Cant add much to thread as I dont have an STi8 but it keeps it at the top .

 

U are on another planet my friend, what has beer got to do with this thread at least some people have posted some decent reply's, strange how they understood the question. Sane scooby owners comment please.

 

Okay no more thread hijacking , I was just trying to explain that the question was slightly ambigious and I could understand Steves confusion. Maybe the question could have been.

Who is goin to be the first to run in there sti8 ppp, if some has done enough miles to see what performance this awesome car has, can they give some comments please.......


Anyway people are bound to know the question now so is anyone going to comment on STI8 PPP performance then, as well as the other sane (ish) STi8 owners who have already.

 

Glad u understand the question now!
