No way give me a chance, i hear your car will be running some good fiqures this year, will you be having ago up the strip aswell as the circuit

 

he he he

i dunno what youve heard, whatever it is its all rubbish, cars standard i tell you

Ill have to be very VERY careful if i run it up the strip i think!

 

any ideas to what your car weighs in at, plus what turbo are you now running

 

honest answer, is.....

dont know, and dont know!

id guestimate the cars weight in "reduced trim" to be around 1320kg or so without driver. The turbo is a bit of a surprise, as i dont know exactly what the spec is.

Gearbox is stock though

 

Ok mate, just went to donno and knackered 5th gear, trouble as you no, more bhp more breakages

 

in what car though? knackered 5th? in a 5 or 6 speed?

 

it knackered 5th in a 5 speed mate, far to aggressive with the gear changes, following faster cars around is never a good idea

 

you must have been going some to break 5th!!! What evo do you drive? 6? and at what power?

 

Its an evo 8 260 running at 390 bhp, carbon prop, bb turbo, autronics, 3'' exhaust, plus alot more bits, its going in for a forged botton end very soon, then on to a big turbo, fuel system etc,,,,

 

Not wanting to hi-jack the thread. But can any subaru owner enter the Scooby ShootOut?

I probably don't have the ability or mods to do too well on the handling circuit, and definately not the power to compete with the likes of AndyF* on the drag strip, but I wouldn't mind having a go.

Micky.











* Read as most cars attending Just used Andy as an example

 

yes any subaru car......you dont need to compete with the big boys, you might surprise yourself anyway round the handling

 

How surprise myself, being worse than I think I am

I think I'll enter for the sake of it. Should be a laugh

 

do it mate

its a good laugh

 

How do I enter, £? Think I might have to work some Saturdays to help pay for everything I'm going to this year

 

first youve got to wait for the event to be announced

 

I am waiting

 

well dont ask me, ive got bugger all to do with it!

 

Anyone with a Scooby is welcome to enter - it's just a load of fun. No need to be the fastest or be disappointed if you're not.

All you need to do is ensure that you improve on this years times next year

 

we positively encourage all cars from std to modded, there is a class for everyone to aim for with trophy/prizes.
soon as we finish off the last few details then we'll have all the info up and online entries will be taken as well as postal.
:-)

 

I competed for the first time at SSO 06 (never competed before in any form of driving competition) with a moderate modded car and came 14th in the handling circuit. Not as good in the drag (1 attempt) as Bob Rawle's car unfortunatley came off the runway in terrible weather conditions and the drag racing was cancelled.

Andy

 

Andy,

Same here, first time out and managed to get the fastest handling time of the day and finish 2nd in the shootout, not bad for a meagre 330bhp newage on standard suspension.....

So what i mean is, have a go and you might surprise yourself!!!

 

I agree

 

I wouldn't be disapointed, unless my bloody car blew up

I'll try anything once, more if I like it

Webby want's to hurry up with the date so I can put on my calendar

 

You patient lot..... NOT!

All details will be revealed as soon as possible!

It's gonna be a good 'un!!

 

Hope you're paying in advance for the weather. Mildly warm and dry suits me

 

think i might enter this year, for the laugh, that is...........

about 200 bhp and a suspesnion set up short for anything else

 

i managed 10th place in the handleing with bog standard 60K miles old MY99 suspension.

This year it looks like i'll have bog standard 68K miles old MY99 suspension

 

I went to the Elvington Shootout last year and enjoyed it with the exception of the weather.
Is it held there every year ?
Nik.

 

it's been held there each year so far. Last years weather was appalling for the time of year so fingers crossed for this time around!

Good lad, have a go, you don't need big power or any fancy gadgets for the handling, just plant your foot and hang on. Works for me

Had a few (quite a lot) goes down the drag strip which was pretty scary braking in standing water with no ABS

I know someone fell off not nice
