Don't find it too bad TBH

Servicing does come round pretty quickly as I've been using it as a daily driver for the last few months, but it's not too painful

I'm using the Carlack acrylic kit from Polished Bliss and rate it very highly.
Gives great shine and lots of protection

Lovely looking car moley, im looking at selling the scoob for an evo 5 or 6.have you had any problems? I've heard they eat diffs at quite a rate.

I think if I had one it would be the rs or a gsr and swap out the yaw diff for an rs one

Only issue was crap in the fuel tank, which is all sorted

I know the AYC can cause problems, but mine has been fine, and it's a fairly cheap/easy fix these days if it does go wrong.

RS diff is a popular upgrade, but I question if it's really needed. Not sure how many owners push the car hard enough to warrant the change.
For a track/sprint car then maybe, but don't think it's needed on a road car (IMO)

A few few years back it would have been a £1500+ bill, but you can buy a DIY re-furb kit for about £300, or there are a few decent breakers for a second hand one

The only real issue with them is the rust. I paid the extra for a fresh import and had it waxoiled before it went on the road.

DCY have some great looking ones in stock at the moment for good prices.
I got mine from SVA who were great, but had to wait a while for it to arrive. (Bought it when it was still in Japan)
