I posted last week asking for opinions and didn't get much response and also tried a search but couldn't find any relevant topics so I'm trying a different tact. Has anyone got the above and found it dissappointing??

Thanks.

 

Phil,

Elaborate please! I have it on order and haven't driven a demonstrator so would like to know what it is like.

 

Had mine fitted on Saturday and I'm very happy with it so far! Early days still of course, but the mid range acceleration (and torque) is much improved and it sounds great. What specifics do you want?

Also make sure you ask the dealer for all your old parts back!

 

Mr President, why did you order it? If we know what you were looking for then it'll be easier to let you know if the PPP is the answer.

 

Ditto what Seamus said

It adds the WOW factor ie

WOW that was close I need my brakes upgraded now

Phil

 

Ha ha, yep brakes next....

 

Maybe I didn't give enough info. I previously had a MY95 WRX import then a MY99 now a MY01. I am missing the performance and torque. All I really want to know what differences does the package make to how the car goes and sounds.

 

why did you order it without testing it first?

 

I moved from a MY98 to a MY01, now that I've fitted the PPP I don't complain about lack of power. The exhaust noise is divine, just a chilled chug when you want to be quiet then screams like a banshi when you boot it. Third gear in 30/40mph zones is bang on, my MY98 never felt like that. Petrol consumption seems to have stayed the same.

 

Adam,

I ordered it because it is the only upgrade that does not affect the warranty. I didn't drive it because I have more money than sense. Seriously though, what I would like is opinions from owners who have had it done.

 

i,ve got it, not very impressed anymore. if i had my time again i wouldnt have bothered.

tiggs

ps- it seems good for a while because the standard car is slow, soon wears off.

 

George,
whats your e-mail address??? so i can you my comments off board.

PCB,

mark@avgs.co.uk Thanks.

 

Curious. Tiggs, Are you saying you would have stuck with the standard car? Why're you bored with it?

 

seamus,

not sure, i never intended to own a nonppp car- i ordered ppp way back in april when i picked the car up. so would i have stuck with a standard car? dont know, never considered it until now.

my choice, if i had it again, would be between other cars and what i have now. i would look more closley at import sti, etc.

i took the wrx ppp because (by owning a UK new car) my employer agreed to pay £x pm for it and insure it for me. with hindsight i might have decided to insure it myself and get something quicker.

tiggs

 

Sure you get used to the PPP and probably end up craving more power...who doesn't. But I wounldn't dream of going back!!!

I certainly need to have a brake upgrade now!!

Still happy and still worth it...

 

PCB,

Simon, why shy of posting your feedback on PPP????

DT

 

I had mine fitted last Thursday. What a massive improvement over standard. I now need a brake upgrade, and still less than 2000 miles.

 

had ppp fitted 2 days ago!
car feels like a scooby now !
feels better that my98 with scoobtsport exhaust and filter!
would not dream of getting a wrx without ppp!
biggggg difference!
now whats next on my shopping list!
off for full scooby sport system!

DO NOT GET WRX WITHOUT PPP!!
thats my humble opoinon!

 

As a package the MY01 PPP is unbeatable - power, handling, refinement, sounds great and looks the biz (yes i did say that).

PPP is a must have option IMHO

Jza

 

I thought I'd told you to drive a MY01 PPP demo model first, on another post about this? It's the only way that you're gonna save £1600.....

F
PS I'm still waiting to be convinced but no one wants to 'put there money where their mouth is'.

 

Thanks for the replies. Not sure if I'm any the wiser though! I'll just have to wait and find out.

 

Anyone had it fitted to a MY01 Wagon yet?

 

I am STILL waiting for mine to be fitted.....

 

My wagon's PPP'd

These are a bit dark but you get the idea.

Jack...how would you review the PPP on the WRX wagon?

Rich

 

I've had mine fitted with the PPP and the engine is nice and loose now (just having had the 15k service).

The performance increase is impressive, the car pulls much more in each gear and the amount of restraint needed at lights to keep the car under 30 is becoming a joke.

Although £1,600 is a lot of money it is the warrenty safe upgrade that should be carried out on the car to show what it really is capable of.

Of course the morettes are required to make the car look more aggressive and less scared!

Not sure brakes are next for me, I'm looking out for the Prodive springs and a strut brace first. By that time I am liekly to have replace the front pads anyway.
