Its being transformed with a 2.5 block.....and Roger Clark motorsport too![/quote0

Will that not make the car less quick as surely its optimised for the 2.0ltr engine.

willy

I dunno, the owner is very wary about losing the snappy power delivery though...
Hes still unsure how to go... I`m sure Roger Clark will not muck it up.

I still dont know why he wants to change it!
He`s a mechanic(owns his own garage) and he has to make it as quick as is possible...Funny breed eh!

I`d be happy to swap his engine as it is!!!

I don't think Scooby owners need to know the ins & outs, history & significance of every model year & special edition to qualify for 'enthusiast' status.

Everyone who made the trip to NBO (all 460+) I think deserve thanks for their support of the event. Being there demontrates you're enthusiastic about Scoobies even if you happen to be a bit ignorant of the rarer breeds !

Well done Lord Harding - look forward to an even bigger event next year.

p.s. agree about the dump valve 'show' - bit inconsiderate - we were hoping it was gonna go 'bang' and give us some peace & quiet.

Tiny

Enjoyed the Show as well, Even if it was a 676 Mile round trip From Essex Via Blackpool

I was the Stickered up MY01 WRX Stuck in the Middle of the RB5 Stand

Also Had 1 Bloody Blue Dustcap stolen as well!!!!!

Will be there next Year, With a few more of the Essex Scooby Crew i Hope

Well can we not get it upto a 20 pager Mickey and keep it at the top LOL. Why ahs he gone so quiet. Whats that tell us.

STEVECHAPS

Thanks M8 for the comment, nice choice for the next motor. Your's has definitely grown on me after seeing it again last week.
Maddy's car is fab - full stop.
Surely events like NBO can only be of benefit & people are more likely to become "Enthusiasts" by casually attending at first then getting more genned up year on year. The 2 who I brought with me were spotting 22b's, Spec C's, S202's etc etc, neither own a Scoob but both want to...............
I've spent an absolute fortune on my car, probably more than I can afford & continue to do so, refreshed with ideas after meets like NBO & the local "Enthusiasts" monthlies. FFS, Last year I bought my current car purely after being blown away by one at NBO1!
I think it's great, I love it, of course I think it was the best car there, the same as lots of other people who were there who to them their car is the best (Tony obviously included ). It didn't attract the judges attention but my dummy is still in my particular pram.
IMHO, all who bothered to turn up on the day from a few miles to hundreds away displayed a passion for this marque. They were/are all enthusiasts.
Just my (rather long winded 2p!).
Steve
PS, One suggestion to Lordy would be that people are encouraged to list on the sheets given out what mods/features they have (Voluntarily of course) as it's not always obvious that for example the rather ordinary looking WRX is infact full of interesting things. Might get more people chatting outside their established circles.

SUBTYPER

I did that and left the papers under the windscreen and inside the car. They were there all day then somone knicked page two from the screen LOL. Was it the infamous TTS banner Thief LOL

No sorry i have to go to work occasionally

But its not just about my car, its about ALL the cars there.
The fact is, that most people dont talk to anyone anymore (unless your in either an owners group or local subaru owners group) which seem to have many more die hard owners in them
I will say that im not the "only" person who has noticed this no doubt from those who have never experienced the "community" spirit from which subaru owners use to have (alot of the longer serving owners should understand this ) with the likes of the northern runs out where people acutally did talk to everyone else there about their cars. For those who dont understand and just open their mouths thinking that im high and mighty try getting some of the spirit of subaru ownership by understanding everything about these cars rather than just stuck in your own world of single performance car ownership, look a little deeper and you may well find out what im saying is true which is ashame because the new owners should be the ones trying to learn about the different models rather than which mods they can do next
So for all you GL (1.6 and 1.8) wrx in various forms (new age and classic) wrx type RA, wrx type R (nope didnt see one at the NBO2), STi type UK, STi JDM, GL/EL and Spec C, Sti limiteds, 555 specials, type R and type RA, P1, 22B, Cats, terzo's, RB5's (WR and non WR versions), WR1, classic Sport, UK300's, S201 adn S202, type 25, Legacy owners (this includes those B4 RSK owners ) and any other model i may have missed out, go look around at the other cars at meets and learn abit

Tony

sti-04!!

good reply tony

NOW EVERYONE GO LOOK !!

just like i did

Phil

Community Spirit works both ways

Why should people talk to you ?

Talk to them

Some people are shy

I remember my very first meet local pub in Southend I walked in and there was a large gathering of people and it felt daunting because they were all talking to each other.

I went to the bar grabbed a pint, there was 2 people at the bar and as I was just about to go and introduce myself to the masses one guy said are you with the club I responded and said yep it was my first meet these 2 guys both said it was there first meet but they didn't want to interupt the meet.

They came over with me and I introduced myself and my new "friends"

and as they say the rest is history

My new friends are NOW true friends and I like to think most people know me

So its not one way traffic

jaycee

Phil, nice story. It can be very difficult to break into a group if you are a "new face" so consequently people form their own little groups on the fringes.

Me and the girlfriend talked to some 'strangers', but we where talking about babies and car seats!

how cute was the 2 week old boy, and the 6 week old boy.

Jasoon

To add to phil's post about Community Spirit etc....

I've only had my Scooby 4 month's and I've only been to 3 Cumbrian Scoob's meeting's ,I went to the first meeting thinking well I'll give it a go and see what there like.

And I found them a very welcoming and friendly group, as I found most people where at the NBO the number of people who asked me about the boot spoiler on my car was amazing.

Having been a member of the RS owners club for a number of years ,I only went to one meting and found them a very unfriendly bunch so I never went back...what a difference to Cumbrian Scoob's

I think idea of putting the A4 sheet of paper in the window with the Scoobynet nick name and car type was a good idea ,I didn't have one im my car but I was going down the lines of cars looking at the pieces of paper thinking I've seen that car or nick name ummm wonder who the owner is....

So far I have nothing but prise for the Scooby commentary on a hole ,my dealer's an enthusiast ,most people on Scooby net seem to be enthusiast's and very helpful same goes for my local Scooby group....

SUBTYPER

So Tony i take it you want to educate all us single minded car owners about your car further. Well why not become more involved like Martin and John did and make the effort to organise a SPEC C Car stand instead of whinging about how ignorant we all are. Cause maybe we didn`t know or wanna know what your car is. If we spend so much money and Time on our cars why do we have to worry about what your car is. We can all appreciate without having to come over and ask.

Maybe some of us know more about your car than what you do. So why should we have to ask?

Why didnt you come over and ask me what my car was about mate. I would of stood all day talking cars and Subaru`s.

I think that everyone that came to the show was true enthusiast to the Subaru brand or they wouldnt of bothered getting out of bed to stand in a field. I am proud to be part of it.

You still havnt got it have you?
So people who stole bits off cars there were enthusiasts?
Really.......
Carry on trying if you wish but your looking foolish now

Tony

StickyMicky

its took you a good few days to come up with any kind of back plan to get yourself out of this and the dustcaps saga is your saviour

mark@wrx

Shall I say that I had one of mine nicked as well? Does that make you feel any less exclusive now Tony? Oh, sorry i'll buy a Spec C to do that!

Jasoon

Tony

How could anyone nick one of your dust caps ,you had an exclusion zone round your car........

Btw what type of dust caps where they??

Tiny

My Dust Cap was A nice Blue Shiny One Still waiting for my New Spin cap's
