Just driven "the long way back" to savour the delights of ppp and new 18" wheels just fitted to my Sti8 and I'm gobsmacked at the improvements. Loads more grunt, seemingly less turbo lag, better steering feel and turn-in, even a better ride (?!) and that's only what I've noticed in the first 20 miles.

I appreciate all the reasons about type approval, pan-European compliance, blah, blah, blah but, really, this is how the STi should be straight from the dealer.

Great to hear about how pleased you are about the PPP.

Can`t wait to pick up my STi 8 PPP in a few weeks and posts like yours make me even more impatient.

ENJOY!!

Yeah, well I need to be inspired!

You are really going to enjoy the upgrade, did you drive a ppp'd version before you ordered it?

Had an 02 Sti 7 Prodrive non-PPP.
After test driving an STi 8 PPP my mind was made up and had to have it, big grin factor.
I`m also getting my 18" wheels fitted on the new one, plus a few other bits and pieces.
Post a picture if you can Dave, i`m going through that stage of looking at every STi 8 i can as i want mine ha ha.
Working out in Saudi at the moment so can`t collect until i`m back home.
