lol i hope you are not trying to sully a good name lol.

Believe it or not i had a mechanic from arnold clark (he is a neighbour of mine) proudly tell me they blew an engine on a scoob as it was still under warranty and they couldnt find the fault it was in for!!!!!!!

'that you working on that thing again mate, aye they're ****e aint they, always something wrong with them, thats what you get for buying a subaru'

bearing in mind i have never spoke to this guy in the 2 n a bit years ive stayed there and he drives a 98 knackered astra!!

best bit was i was painting the F@cking calipers?!?!

Next day the car will be in trader/ebay with the description as being "never been abused like usual ribbish" lol

My friend has blown a scooby by the way driving on the M1 to a scooby shoot out.

Maybe due to poor tuning by his local performance garage rather than is driving.

Maybe you should have mapped it instead.

But I'm interested / impressed how the yanks do stuff like DIY tuning. Amazing really.

Bit of an over reaction, its obviously some kind of knackered trade in with the engine half way out, aslong as they bought it they can do what they like with it.

It's an import, rather than fitting an mph to kph converter they just changed the dials instead hence the lower speed.

A poor mans effort in other words.
