Just got back to Scotland today and picked up my type r from Andy Forrest. 1st scooby, 1st time seeing it in the flesh, 1st time a car has given me a permanent grin for 2 hours driving from Edinburgh to Aberdeen! Cheers Andy, top notch job on the Apexi ecu!

 

Good to see another Type R in Aberdeen, welcome to the club

 

Nice car Doug , I saw it at Andys whilst having my APFC fitted and mapped last Wednesday....

J

 

Mine is back on page 17
Some new pics on the way soon

So Aberdeen chaps, When are we gonna get together??

Another!

 

Well,
After nearly 3 Yrs I may be leaving TypeR Ownership.

Ive sold the new 2.5 engine (Still in the box) but decided to keep the 20G and other parts for the next car.

This Type R has been just about the most reliable and 'believe it or not', the least expensive cars to own.

Benefits of buying something extensively modified already









I have to say, that owning a Type R has been the coolest thing, as we are just so 'unique' when compared to 4 door Scooby and EVO owners.

The questions is, will I still be the coolest dad on his estate, with a Newage STI? Even with 380BHP???? Most people go for the looks

 

was that sunroof fitted? never seen that before except on the american 2.5RS

 

Cheers Jay_bee. Even nicer to drive. Was visiting relatives today with my folks and had the back end stepping out coming off a roundabout. Think my old dear needed a new pair of trousers!

 

Do all you guys suffer from loads of cabin rattles I certainly do in my type r, is it a trait of all of them on the newer dash boards

 

Not on my V5, It is quite solid in there

 

None in my V5 either...

Have you tried removing ALL the loose stuff in the cabin and glove box first to see what kind of difference that might make...?

How old is it?

 

TYPE-R will give you a nasty bite and I think only the best drivers can master it (and im not claiming to be one).

Because it is wet at the moment I have DCCD set at one green up nearly constantly - this aids stability considerably. The car is butt-end happy as it is without slippery roads.

Plus side is the sideways action you can have on roundabouts etc!! Just practice and learn to pull that steering wheel back sharpish - when your pointing the right way LOL

 

Thought its about time I posted a pic and spec of my Type R.

STI all the way baby

 

TYPE R's rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:-)

 

Yup!

It has an Electric Subaru factory sunroof and electric pack heated and cooled seats.

Not quite the rally replica style

 

BOB,

Your car needs the STI6 splitter to finish off the front.

Only £108.00 from Subaru.

 

Doug,

Why did your engine need a rebuild? I thought it was new?

 

The guy that had it before me had an oil cooler fitted just after buying it from Peccy. 3wks later, a stone went through it totally knackering the engine! Unlucky i guess. The Scoobyclinic rebuilt it and its now running like a gem with a bit of tweeking by AndyF.

 

Anyone in need of a knocklink? Have one surplus to requirements. Brand new, never even fitted.

 

hello i would post a pic of mine but as i dont have a digi camera, but will borrow one soon.
anyway here is its spec :Bailey dump valve, blitz turbo timer, alcon 4 pot pro-drive front calipers, 17" dark chrome alloys, A'pexi gauges, cobra bucket seats, racing harnesses, full blitz exhaust system, leda coilovers, veilside body kit, plus Nos.

pics to follow as soon as i have borrowed camera

jay

 

leviathan, I have to say that the rims (are they rs gt?) on your motor are mint I had spotted them on other Jap motors and had considered them for my type-r but your pics has just convinced me that they are the way forward for me.

 

Good advert for oil coolers

I guess there is a lesson about meshing over them.

 

I say Januarys meet or we could meet up one weekend and get a load of photos for this thread?

 

This thread is nearly a year old

 

DOUG....

IM AFTER ONE BUT WONT HAVE THE MONEY TILL EARLY JAN???
IS IT WITH THE SENSOR TOO??

 

Is this Ian's old Scooby, I recognised the spec but the stickers and morrettes must be new?

simb

 

Yea was Ian's, I've been spending a few bob on it to get it the way I like it.
