Decent scooby tweekers in SE?

[4WD]

I was thinking of a filter and exhaust for now. Maybe a chip and RR session too?

Also, I want to remove the orange reflectors and side repeaters for black ones. Who sells these? Not into the car modding thing so don't have any links. Just keeping tiny tweeks very subtle, almost unnoticable really. Thanks.

Thanks guys. This is all new to me, so any advice is appreciated!

My local resprayer can finish my wheels in black for a mere 30 quid a corner, so that's great.

Also ordered some black smoke side indicators and black carbon replacements for side wing reflectors (it's the bug eye '02 model, with black body and black tint front headlamps). So, a bit black then.

I've heard the hayward and scott pipes on a 964 carrera. They sounded superb! However a bit of surfing has revealed Prodrive (where my car is originally from) also offer ftermarket tuning. They do a package called PPP, which makes 305bhp. But, you have to buy all the bits from them in one go - no bits and pieces. So no hayward exhaust is possible. The PPP package adds to the car's value, rather than throwing the money away on bits here and there, so I may go that route!

Anyone heard the PPP?

It's an '02 bug eye - all black. I removed the badges today ready for it's full respray on monday. Looking way meaner already. Going to have the enormous prodrive spoiler removed too, for that stealth understated RS6-esq look - not the usual scooby look at all.

Decided to go for this black variation, rather than the flat ordinary subaru black which is on there already: audi graphite black. Will take two weeks to do all the colour coding. They're even doing the brake calipers etc. Should look great, so I'll post a pic when it's done.

I wonder how the different exhausts compare on sound: ppp v hayward&scott v scoobysport ?

Do you think the ppp conversion at £1600 is good value, or steep?

[4WD]

The only thing is, I wonder if the ppp 'zorst is good enough sounding?

[4WD]

I was after a rather subtle look (not a dirty great dustbin), but still wanted a little rumble

Nicola, your box sounds tempting, I'll check it out.

[4WD]

thought you might pick up on that

What do you mean by better? More power, or cheaper? Or something else?


What I like about PPP is this:

1. Just enough power without ruining the reliability
2. A well known brand that will hold it's value better than others

Just spoke to my insurers liverpool victoria. They won't cover me with a PPP conversion, even though it is a factory option fitted at a subaru main dealer. However they will cover a new car fitted with the exact same option! Bloody tts.

I've booked my STI in for the Prodrive Performance Pack next week. Should be nippy enough.

First impressions of PPP on my sti are...

1. Much smoother power delivery. Feels more linear throughout, less lumpy.

2. Power extends all the way up to 7000, rather than dying at after the old midrange boost at 5000

3. Possibly the same or less low down torque but much more mid to high output. Maybe the new smoother linearity that makes this feel different.

4. Lovely low down exhaust rumble, but not too intusive.

5. Overall I'd say worth it for the smoothness of delivery as much as anything. Definately a better car.
