Did a 12.47 in the video above and in the one below 12.43!
I'd still lash you in a straight race.

It's the Audis that dominate York Raceway now, it used to be mainly Scoobs but mostly Audi now.

More time in there even if it is only a small bit!

I think 11.9 would need another 80kg or 20bhp.

Can't believe after well over 50 launches on track the original clutch and gearbox are still going well.

It's still running like a peach (Even though RE Motorsport said the engine would last 6 months, 10 years ago!)

Since York Raceway closed I've not done any more mods on it other than remove more items, carpet, roof lining etc. I've not had to replace anything for years now and it flies through each MOT. Even the Race battery is still going strong and it always goes flat.

I'm still on the original clutch and gearbox after 90,000 miles and 60-70 full blood launches.

My ODYSSEY PC680 lightweight battery has finally died after around 3 years use, installed another one and I've just killed it straight away by leaving my keys in the ignition overnight ...onto the 3rd!

I'm ******* useless.

Wife sent me this pic whilst I was at work, she said after she'd gone to her coat to get her mobile to phone police he'd gone. :/

She said she heard a loud bike start up nearby so it could have been my mate taking the p*ss

Gaaah, suspension has gone yet again, 6 shockers now 2 of my BC coilovers are shot. Just sorned Billy until I decide what direction to go. I think Subarus are stupidly solid but the shockers and CV boots are made from paper.

Just had Pedders Spec B suspension kit fitted by SCOOBYWORX.

I'm not sure if I'll be throwing any more money at Billy for a while. I really like the idea of getting a white Spec-C.

Bit of a late update but Billy has been back at Scoobyworx to have a Competition Clutch stage 2 clutch and Competition Clutch lightweight flywheel fitted.
Bit of a crunch noticeable now though in 4th and 5th so I'm guessing the Millers Nano diff oil I was using was masking a problem. Always something with modded cars

Bought this for the wife but it turned out to be a big lime, returned it for a refund after 2 days



Got her this instead


Right up her street and far more refined.

Billy has just flown through the MOT with no advisories. Still debating whether to sell the old boy.

Blimey, air con on, 4 people in the car and 20 miles down the Motorway at 60mph! Another 10 miles and I think I could have sneaked 60mpg.
