You might want to try http://www.vividracing.com

I orderd camber bolts from them a month ago.

I plan on trying them out for my winter wheels.

Prodrive as Winter Rims? You must have cash to burn - For the price of a prodrive you could get a set of Rota Knockoffs and have a drive look and still be able to afford the Prodrive "upgrade" they are working on.

 

Just say no and run those Rota's in the snow;
You'll save tons of dough don't ya know;
Then when the spring comes and the Prodrive kit hits the streets;
You'll have the coin to make your car a Beast;
Making a stock STi seem WRX slow;
Spending cash on bling Prodrive rims is not the way to go.

Jang, don't give up your day job. LOL

 

I rap, I rhyme, I write all day;
I rock, I roll, and whatevers on my mind I say.
This effort sounds like crap I know;
But hey I'm having fun as I flow.

Whats the story on the prodrive upgrade? Haven't heard about it yet.

 

No real word yet - I sent an inquiry months ago and the Sales rep said it is still in the works. I would imagine/guess/fantasize it is a chip, intake, and exhaust combo that could bump the STi to 340-360HP.


I think this will be one of the few mods I make. (Did the red bulb mod, did the cargo net mod, will do dba brake disk swap when the time comes, and winter wheels and tires.) I really don't want the STI to turn out like the Mustang - 8 years and 20k later it wasn't worth enuff to sell quickly, and needed a specific buyer type.

 

Meridock is on target.

Go to NASIOC and run a search within the past 3 months.
Posts by several folks including a Prodrive rep indicate that are working on development of a complete add-on package including reprogrammed ECU and exhaust (type unknown) that is rumored to increase overallpower by 30% to 400HP/400Tq at the crank.
That would equate to 360-375 WHP & WTq.

Just enough to suck that silly smile off your face after rolling on the gas.

Word is it won't be finished untill late Q4 '03.

Okay, but when they get it, who does the install? Any tune shop or what's the deal, do you know? Thanks.

How's the car? have you done anything to it?

 

I'd install it myself along with either my Subie master tech. buddy/mechanic or at home. I'm sure shops will be able to sell 7 setup the lit when ever/if ever it hits the streets.

As for my car, some local kid ran into me two weeks ago at low speed. He took out my front drivers fender, door skin and the front end alignment.

Otherwise I've only done the redlight mod and removed the spare & jack to reduce weight. BTW, the coloring of the bulb with a Sharpie is not a long term aolution for the red light mod. The heat of the bulb and ambient air causes the red coloring to fade. The bulbs stay red only for 3-5 weeks max. depending on use.
I'll be heading to my local crafts store (Michael's) to pickup some Testers model paint and dip the bulbs.

Otherwise I'm pretty much stock and will remain so until Prodrive makes an announcement, or my patience runs out and I go with Vishnu.

Holy **** Hope everything, you, him were okay. That sucks, is it all fixed up now?

As for the red marker mod, I didn't want to say "I told you so" because I never told you in the first place or anyone else but I new the heat from the bulb would fade the colour right out in no time. However, 3-4 weeks is almost 4 weeks longer than I predicted it to last!

No mods for me either... except the audio upgrade and the tinted windows.
