Hey fellow scooby people
I have a 06 WRX and had the prodrive fitted last year since I had it fitted the car hasn't been as quick as it was with out the prodrive kid. I have been back and forward with Subaru for the past 8months and NO joy with them at all, there are no faults in the car or prodrive that they can find so bottom line is they can't help me.
long story short, it's all down to the fuel, I know I should be running 97 octane, but hey this is the south and super unleaded is in the past, I have been running on Lucas Octane Booster, and have went side by side with a friend testing in each gear, ie. 0-60, 40-80 in 3rd gear, and from 50 onwards in 5th gear, ect.. and each time "slowly" he pulled away from me, i know for a fact that his car is 215bhp standard. I have been up to Donnelly Subaru with it yesterday "Tuesday 20th" and they told me that the prodrive will only run on Super unleaded and NOT an Octane booster. When I was up in Belfast I put £40 of super unleaded into the car and Donnelly reset the ECU to show me just how the car should run, I bought the car in March of 06 and the car has never been as quick as it is now. Im so happy with the performance now but I have a feeling that as soon as the tank is empty and I fill up with 95 unleaded "with Lucas octane" that the performance will go back to the way it was. If that is the case, to the courts with me I go. One guy from Subaru Belfast said that the Prodrive should NOT be sold in the South, due to the fact that we do not have super unleaded and Octane booster can cancel the warranty
Im looking to anyone who has a new age WRX with the Prodrive kid on it and to see or even meet up with them to compare.
