Just bought an rb5 from across the water. just wondering if u guys know any gd scooby dealers of private guys. i would do oil changes and stuff my self but for full services.

:notworthy :notworthy welcome onboard .there are three rb5 owners that use scoobynet rb5boyo OLLieRB5 and myself YE HA .kevin and i use michael at OMA in mallusk and can,t speak highly enough:luxhello: :luxhello: theres a rolling road day coming up on the 9th if you can take a run along and say hello it will be like an rb owners club meet:lol1: cheers (barry) YE HA:thumb: :thumb:

AI Autosport just outside Antrim are highly regarded, as is Michael White at OMA in Mallusk. For main dealer stuff, Eastwoods in Lisburn are good to deal with for a main dealer. Coleraine are has to be Johnny at Performance Subaru (McKeary Motors)........hope that covers most places...

Oh and for aftermarker stuff and great technical advice, Paul Murray (Scubbay) in Magherafelt always gives good honest opinions and can lay his hands on ANYTHING Subaru !!!!!

well my advice would be Johnny at Performance Subaru (McKeary Motors) coleraine as donnellys dont know their left foot from their right, eastwoods recently took a car out on a test drive at 103 mph which was proved as the customer had reset his secs monitor. For me personally Performance Subaru (McKeary Motors) gets my thumbs up every time not only for knowledge of scoobies but for a professional good honest job which money cannot buy. So for me to drive to coleraine when the other two dealerships are both within 15 mins drive from my house says it all. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

hey cheers for the reply guys im around belfast carrickfergus direction so i think il check out oma. barry tell me more about the rolling road day were u having it. i think i know of ur guy olli he lives in bangor right. barry does ur rb5 have blue details

My advice would be DONT use a main dealer! Goto the likes of AI, Performance Subaru or OMA, Better products used and cheaper than main dealers also far better service.

Welcome along also m8, I am from Newtownabbey so maybe c u around.

sorry to clarify something here but performance subaru (mckeary motors) are a warranty and service approved by subaru.

Is it not 2 seperate business's in the same place?:confused:

Anyway, I would still say better than the other main dealers that we know!

Welcome to RB5 ownership!

RB5OC is a great place for all RB5 queries and it would be great if you updated the register

RB5 Owners Club Website (http://www.rb5oc.com)

HHH 1234 my rb5 is a wr sport but without the normal sport spoiler it has the red markings and is more or less standard bar whiteline alloy droplinks and a whiteline anti lift kit and 18 oz ultraleggra rims.details of the rolling road day can be seen below under subaru ai autosport rolling road day 9th feb orginized by neal p 1. D6ale advise is very good as the rb5 owners club is a great place for information etc hope this helps cheers:thumb:

Hi there HHH1234, if u listen to the comments posted above u wont go far wrong, theyre all a top bunch of folk!!

Ive just got me car back from OMA there with a load of goodies fitted such as halteck ecu, front mount, headers, boost controller etc etc and i couldnt be more pleased!!:D :D :D :D

Sure why dont u cum to the rolling road day (i will probably only be watching as my car still has to get a bigger turbo and injectors before i get a dyno run) and u can see our cars and have a chat with the rest of them. You can be sure of a great days crack at any of the meets wherever they are, the mc rae memorial run was nothing short of brilliant!!:thumb:

Here a couple of pics of my rb5 with my mates sti beside it:

kev nice pics. what sort of power will ur car be putting out when finished. doesnt sound cheap. yea uys il def check out the rolling rd day,

Hoping for around 340bhp when all finished, dont wana push it much more than that, although it had a rebuild last year at 53,000 miles with new crank etc etc.

Have yet to fit a TD0518G turbo and 740cc injectors and a remap, stil running the td04 turbo at the min and its only good for 280 - 290bhp max!!

Take a look at this link below and scroll down to my post and u will see what ive done so far and what im planning for the 'not to distant future' lol:luxhello:

alright lad, welcome to the site!!

mines the one with blue detailing, although at the minute it has no rb5 detailing at all bar fog covers, that arent even on the car :(

getting some red ones ordered up as after spending 6 months convincing myself blue was the better colour, i have realised that infact red is the future.

i`d have sold you mine a few months ago, saved you a trip to england... but shes growing on me now, and this bunch of hooligans help raise your spirits no end if your down about your motor.

be sure to wave if you happen to see the rb5 on the road... in the rare occasions that it is!! and if you see some twat in a white merc estate waving.. thats be me

btw.. what no is she?

cheers man i think i saw u driving through town on thursday, nearly walked into a lampost staring at the car.lol she is no 155. so ur keeping her then did u have an integra before the scooby. u wouldnt know a guy called armo from bangor direction then

Welcome along also m8, I am from Newtownabbey so maybe c u around.

i would be in this as well CAN T speak for them all ofcourse but.....:)

yes mate, armo, big fella, ginger hair? had a civic with a teg engine?

yeah mat,e i had a white dc2, still have it in the drive, the missus drives it now.. or should i say, the missus lets it sit in the drive 6 days a week...

going to lift my rims now and refit them and take her out for a skelp, so yeah shes staying put for a while.. plus jamie and simon excite me about tuning the thing when they`re around talking the talk.. LOL

eastwoods recently took a car out on a test drive at 103 mph which was proved as the customer had reset his secs monitor. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Can you expand on this please? Do you know who did this? Was it the mechanic or someone else?

I use Eastwood motors and have always found them very good and my car is up for a service in February.

Hi lad, checked back 14 pages in the forum there and found the thread ur looking for....should clear up any confusion:

http://bbs.scoobynet.com/ireland-northern-ireland-27/646565-bad-service-eastwoods.html

Cheers, I hope its a one off. I have used Eastwoods for the last 5 - 6 years and had no problems at all. On one ocasion they refused to accept payment for diagnostic work. I also bought my current car from them and Des was ok to deal with and gave the weans some money.

Well guys i got her home last night and i love it. she feels so tight and sure on minor roads. im def hooked. so whens this rolling rd day again could someone pm me datails would be nice to meet a few of u boys. any one know of a gd turbo timer or where is cheap to get one. theres ones on ebay for £40 but .............

Yep mate, the rolling road is this saturday the 9th at AI Autosport in randalstown near antrim. Check out here for details:

As for a turbo timer i havent got one but OllieRB5 is an ice/security/gadget fitter by trade and hes the man to ask about this sort of stuff....he knows his way around a car alarm and all that trickery, i'm hoping to get him to sort me out with speakers for my car come the spring time!!:thumb:

Kevin

mate, i`d probably sell my Blitz Turbo timer tbh, I ordered the wrong one and didnt realise until after i fitted it that it wasnt the particular model i was after.

or if you get one off ebay and need it fitted i`ll do it nay bother.
Mine came form the USA initially and is 110% grand.

now shes home.. this thread is useless with out pictures!!!!!!!!!

and if you see mine (ENZ reg) this week.. its my dad driving it, hes taken it while his mercs being sprayed and left me in the scenic derv!!!!

As olli said now shes home
