Gaulson Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Well things aren't looking good, my brother in law was told that the Subaru is Prodrive.... (Y pipe, ECU, Exhaust, Spoiler, Mud flaps). Seemed like this was legit because it has the spoiler and mud flaps in plain view. The exhaust however had been changed to an aftermarket stainless one but we have put the prodrive back box on again. The Y pipe is there BUT it isn't the Prodrive one. It's some other aftermarket Y pipe. So I then started doubting the ECU so as we are quiet at work I took a quick look and this is what I found: This isn't Prodrive is it? Don't know much about how you can tell what the ECU is. It's confusing though because it has "BHP Developments" on the back and there is a business card for some ECU tuning company but that doesn't mean much. I was bothered about tampering with a Prodrive car but seeing as it's not officially one then I may as well just go and take it to 300bhp :P
Scooby Pete Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Is there no paperwork for the Prodrive Performance Pack? Might be worth contacting the original dealer and see if it was PPP'd. Might have been done originally and has since had bits changed.
Gaulson Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 No paperwork and I think one of the previous owners had it all put on themselves but information has been lost a long the way
BlackBosh Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Feel for you mine was supposed to be ppp'd but that means i can go silly with it now
Gaulson Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Let the fun and games begin I say, now just need to save up a bit. Might make it my birthday treat next month
Scooby Pete Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah sounds like there's no way to tell if it was an official PPP or a DIY job :(
Jay762 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 does sound like a DIY job - which isn't the end of the world as you have said as it still a nice motor 1
BlackBosh Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Unless you get a model that was supposed to come with ppp but you didn't know this till after buying it :(
Gaulson Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 It's okay though, as I've said... free to play now :) 1
Martin959 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 It's okay though, as I've said... free to play now :) If is still fast... then should be ok... plus now its going to be the "Gaulson" edition :P 1
Gaulson Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Great idea!! Although my nickname with my mates is actually Gaul the Poat (Paul the Goat ... long story). Gaul the Poat Edition Sounds alright to me ;)
Gambit Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 If I'm honest the PPP is good and helps hold value of the car but you can get so much more for less mony the fact you have the parts just helps :D
