Hi

can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Normal STI 02 and the STI prodrive 02

cheers

If your talking about the UK models, then AFAIK the only difference is the body kits. The Prodrive ones have the big rear spoiler and similar front to the WRC cars of that time. There may be some minor changes inside but mechanically they are the same.

 

all prodrive cars i have come across have had some sort of engine tweaking to boot.

 

as standard the differences are :

Prodrive front end based on WRC car, including different grill and deletion of STi badge on front

Larger rear spoiler ( 1st appearance of the 'V7 and 8 Sti Spoiler' )

Sculpted sideskirts

Interior has blue clocks

Contrary to popular belief not all 'prodrive cars' have the PPP as standard, but in my ( completely unbiased ) opinion, they are the nicest looking bugeye, if not the most brutal looking of all imprezas

 

Have to agree

But as already said the prodrive styled car didnt come with ppp, it was an optional extra.

 

UK/European ones are basically just cosmetic differences to a plain STI; PPP was not standard. The Japanese Prodrive STI are based on an STI RA - but you'd be hard pushed to find one, as far as I can tell only about 50 were made for the Japanese market. 150 Prodrives were sold in Europe with 800 available in the UK. Of these 600 WR Blue and 200 Black Mica. White and Silver were available as a special order - but from extensive (pah, yeah, right) research on here - there doesn't seem to be a UK car in exsistance in either of these colours.

(If anyone knows different please tell me!)

Yes - they're beautiful cars...

Again - totally unbiased of course.. *ahem*

Or had Morettes fitted!!

 

Yes, the morettes arn't standard - nor are the Prodrive 18"s..

They just succeed in making her look even more moody

I do wish the original lights had of followed the car but was not to be I'm afraid.

 

defo a better looking subaru IMO

beaker1,

get your name down on this list

...even if the black/blue mica owners want to think they're even more special

 

The clock bit appears a bit more variable: mine has everything else, but not the blue clocks. I'm sure I've seen at least one other without them as well.

There's other small differences between the same colour, look at the body panels in the front end, black grills still with suburu emblem etc.

 

Not sure I get what you mean?

 

Well look at the pic of the car on this thread, look at the plastic infill between the light and grill. Its flat no double scallops and no mesh in chrome or the badge change.

Now go on the thread showing the Prodrive Styles and look at the difference, mine is not like that and I see some other black cars are not either.

 

Top car.. but then i would say that

 

Just Bought an 02 JDM SIT Prodrive, has the roof vent also.
Delighted with it, have ahd wagons for the last 4 years and just up graded from a 98 sti wagon which the new owner wrote off last night after two days... Gutted
