370,

An intelligent person would look at all the available information, and listen to other peoples opinions, before making decisions, or giving other people advice.

You my friend have become SO BLINKERED, that you don't even realise how inaccurate your statements are.

You blatently don't know ANYTHING about the products you are talking about, and are just repeating what TDI have told you.

I don't doubt that you got 340bhp on TDI's rolling road, but that's not the point.

The point is, that you are talking RUBBISH.

Mark.

Just a question to the morons praising Unichips, Gem and the other ***y products.
Do you ever read Impreza magazine? Ever visited a Japanese tuner? Ever went to the Tokyo Auto Salon?

So, screw it, do not try telling that you guys there in the UK know more about Impreza's (or Skylines, Supras, Evo's Fto's 3000GT's, Fairlady's, NSX's) than the Japanese!!! OF course your local teams use Motec, Gems etc, because it's local European made and they are biased towards their products just like everybody in Europe is.

370beast, or whatever your name is, quit posting here trying to convince those buttnuggets that the F-Con is superior (which it actually is) as none of their backyard Scooby -mania -sport Scoobywhatever will ever acquire the knowledge of the Impreza as the Japanese do. Read an article about Scoobysport (this guy lives & breathes Impreza's HAHAHAAAA). What a bs, just a off-ripper company that want a big piece of the Jap import trend cake.

Let them stick with their cheap UK made overpriced Scoobysport exhaust, Morette twin headlights and with Scooby Doo stickers on the numberplate listening to classic Hanna Barbara themes.

Alberick - you a twin or something?

Scooby370.

Not sure what to say to you really. Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

don't know how many times I've said this,but.....

I'm getting a Golf Diesel cos I want to. Comprendez? It's not a particulaly difficult sentence to understand is it?

And pray, how do you define it as a piece of ****? Cos it's slower than yours? Ooooh. Must be ****. Cos it's got build quality a Scoob can only dream of? Oooooh. Must be ****. Cos it's being used as a daily runabout and hasn't got a Scoob badge on? Why can't you get it into your hormonally challenged brain that I'm buying it cos I want to. There was a Golf (or Vento) in Fast and Furious you know.

Also, why the hell would I be jealous of your car? It's older than mine was, less powerful and more than likely slower. Been there, done that - wouldn't want to downgrade to a Fast and Furious wannabe car owned by a Fast and Furious wannabe - and I'm not interested in car xyz that you've heroically raced to the death on road - you've proven nothing and it appears you have no intention or of backing anything up except with pictures.

All you've done, is come on here with perhaps the most blinkered view I've seen on Scoobynet - like I said - you are an advertisers dream - as long as it's HKS no doubt

One of my first comments was about the chips on your shoulders - they are obviusly way bigger than I first thought - you seem to think it's a foregone conclusion that people must respect you and your car. Respect tends to be earnt - but I guess you just think show off your nice shiny bits, tell people how much you've paid and that will do the trick. Err, yeah.

On your next reply don't bother putting anything about Golf Diesels being ****, me and Theo being jealous, you having a faster car than both of us which is why were jealous etc etc. We're not. Honestly. You can trust me on that.

Can you answer a question for me? Have you got a Max Power, Revs, Fast Car or Redline sunstrip on your car?

Thumbs down

OMG!!!!!!! Time to lay the smack down.....

I have just subjected myself to the whole 10 pages of this stuff and I can't believe just how severely 1 person can resemble a complete tosspot. Fair enough asking your original question, but then to come out with such a huge pile of completely self-opinionated tosh, attempt to ram it down people's throat's and then get the **** with the replies that you get and tell well known and well loved members of this board and their families to go funk themselves is completely out of order and utterly pathetic.

You are gung-ho enough to challenge people to racing you with bets on if wanted and then when people accept you go all silent. Stupid, stupid man............

You may well have some valid points (most of which I doubt), but don't try ramming your pea-sized brain's worth of possibly tainted Impreza Knowledge down our throats. We discuss and use this stuff every day, so have a vague idea of what does the job....

I think you need to wash your mouth out, as you don't seem to be able to have a grown up argument without whacking 10 swear words in every other paragragh. Or is it that due to you apparantly coming from london, you are one of these funny little kids that walk around now with a deliberate limp, talks in some completly obscure caveman version of english, wear your pants around your knees, keeps one hand in your pocket ready to brandish your imaginary glock and cruise around lewisham with your gang of b!tches????

Sort yourself out, or get you **** off this BBS. Tons of people, including my freinds on here that have been here since the dawn of time are leaving here due to the alarmingly increasing amount of complete plebs coming on here like YOU,MONKEY BOY!!!

Go and play in the traffic, or be a good little gimp and get back in your box. Whatever gives you joy.........

You mess with my family, you mess with me

Graig, Evil, R19 etc, don't let El Chimpy get to you too much!!!

Cheers,

Nick

P.S. Nice comment you made on Mellow's Vectra sale post, you winkle......

Nick,

He's not getting to me, I just hate to see mis-information posted, because some less aware people may actually believe the guy.

Alberick,

Does your "local product" arguement, not apply to the Japanese too ? I've already said, that in the right hands the F-Con will be a good product, but that doesn't mean to say that it's better than a Gems, or a Pectel, which are the chosen choice of rally teams around the WORLD, including PRODRIVE.

As for the UK companies that you obviously have a grudge against, I doubt either of them would consider themselves "engine tuners", as neither of them would claim to map ecu's.

You guys have NO IDEA what's being done in the UK, or what's been achieved, because even though the Japanese chose a UK company to run their WRC team, and that nearly half the F1 teams are also based, and run by British guys, the Japanese "know best".....

You're entitled to your own opinions, to express them, and to buy whatever you like, but, if you're too ignorant, or lack the mental capacity to intellegently discuss other peoples views, and opinions, how will you ever learn.....

In the words of a friend "I'd like to have an intelligent arguement with you, but it's unfair to fight with an un-armed man"

Mark.

Think you'll find it's "I refuse to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed man"

Or something.

LMFAO @ Nick

Human evolution, civilisation and education gives us the ability to think for ourselves, make opinions ourselves and have open minded and objective arguments and discussions.

This guy can't - is it possible we have found the Missing Link?

I tried to stay out of this...

...but couldn't.

Mr 370. I'm not taking sides here, but have to suggest that the response you have received might just be down to the attitude you came in with. Most of the folk who have posted are normally *terribly* reasonable and I've even (whisper) seen one or two admit they were wrong in the past...

I'd like to see pictures of your car, because it sounds interesting and I hope you're not flannelling because that would be a shame. I'd also like to see it in action, but can't advocate racing on the roads because, well because it's stupid, actually.

So I'll make you an offer. I'll rent a convenient plot of land. Say, Kemble as it's got good grip and shedloads of run off. I'll bring a camera crew and some timing gear. You show what you can do and we'll post a link to the video and figures on this very board to silence the critics.

Or, of course, you could take up the gauntlet and go to Bedford as suggested before. I *guarantee* you'll get a warm reception and your credibility will go off the scale if you show you can walk the walk *AND* talk the talk.

Mail me direct if you want. This is a serious but one time only offer.

As for the rest of you, give the guy a chance to reply before you flame him again

R19KET,

Well, I would like to continue arguing this issue, but it's glass-crystal clear for me. It's not that I have a special grudge against UK companies but the whole as everything evoluted is just so damn s****y.
First in all your deep knowledge you have and having the monthly choice between 2 biased mag's (EVO and Car that is) who shouted the Impreza being the absolute must have followed by a wave of importing of all kinds of Japanese performance cars. Seeing the damage they have done in the Uk as everybody just went craze to have an import they hassld to play down Japanese cars, whereas thousands of "tuners" arose (just try to read the Scoobysport introduction, impossible for somebody like me who met with a whole bunch of Japanese tuners, not to get tears in my eyes). It almost seems that the Impreza whas actually made in the UK.

Ok, the Japanese use Prodrive or whatever, do they really have a choice? Or are Japanese products so welcomed in Europe in general?
Isn't the European press known for dowturning Japanese cars, hence the typical reputation of the interior being plasticky, or quotations like "The design was not made by Bertone, but.....".

Yeah ok I may have no idea what's being done in the UK, and really knowing what's being done in Japan, I almost confident that I don't really NEED to know whats being done in the UK (and reading this board, not very much that is)
Another issue : is the Subaru or Mitsubishi WRC team ran by Japanese anyway? I'm not so sure....therefore of course they use Motec etc...
You're quite tuff on saying to others that they became blinkered and saying others talk rubbish, so how about you?

Telling me I don't know what's going on in the Uk, do you know whats going on in Japan? Surely not as you cannot read anything else than English huh?
And MrCraig, what would be the problem having a MaxPower sticker, you probably have a www.scoobysport.uk on yours with a dumb Scooby Doo sticker on your number plate....

So to give you all a hint, save some money, have a trip to Japan and open your firmly closed eyes, nobody knows the Impreza's better than the makers.

And if you don't have anything better to reply thatn "I don't want to fight an unarmed man" or "if I'm too ignorant and lack the mental capacity" then return to page 1 and find out who has a lack of mentality, pissing off a guy that fit the right products and producing a figure that your local backyard tuners will only dream to achieve without blowing everything to bits.

I'm open for discussion but if someone starts to downturn products such as HKS (have a look at their racing records) then sell your Imp, and buy a Cossie and join your local gang.

Nice reply Craig,

I was at one piont on this thread feeling that S370 was getting a little too much abuse from the "regulars" on the bbs but After some of the unsavoury comments by S370 I feel that his time on the board (and possibly this planet if this car fails to produce the goods!) is limited

Craig, Evil and the rest of the gang have been tuning their cars to the same level as you for a long time and know the right and wrong things to do to Scoobs. All of us on this board have the highest respect for them as they are willing to share their ups and downs with the rest of the scoobynetters ( remember that this is one big family - much love and no S***E!)

S370 - chill out and take things with a pinch of salt. No-one on here was trying to be anywhere as malicious as you have ended up being. If your car can genuinely but out that power then I take my hat off to you. But are you willing to prove it?

Lets all try to get along and keep this board as it should be - a group of freinds with good cars helping out each other to get the best from their cars - that is why I joined in the first place!

All they are doing is helping people to get what we all want from our cars - power and the best way to get it.

I swore I would not get into a slanging match with you or S370 - But it looks like you need your partner to come to the computer and pick up your dummy and put all your toys back into your playpen. Its time for your bed!

I know of friends of mine that live and work in Luxembourg and it looks like their assessment of the locals is correct!

I am far more likely to believe info supplied by CraigH or R19KET than you or S370 but why not prove me wrong!

STOP TALKING THE TALK AND START WALKING THE WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh Mr WUZ,

Now here's a completely different contender with a completely different approach.
You want power and the best way to go to it, ok if you're out of school in 10 years and get your first job at McDo, buy a flight ticket to Japan directly to the Tokyo Auto Salon where the power is.

Oh ,you also know that "friends of yours that live and work in xxx and their assessment of the locals is correct" Nice try, guy but I knew that one already
Well, you know, I'll let that one pass as just the fact of coming up with this bs, proves that you don't know what to say anymore.
Well, I'd like to come up with a similar thing but it would hurt too much if I would have to lower myself at your level.

Well, you're free to believe whatever you want, may that be your local blockbusters Craigh or R19KET, as for me I wouldn't ever listen to anybody others than the guys in Japan.

STOP TALKING THE TALK AND START WALKING THE WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Err, uhm, yeah....that must be it......feel free to take the first step, you know, buddy, there's still a long way ahead of you...

1)HAHAHAHAHAHAHa you are so funny,Me? from London? I'm not even English you idiot.Question? WHy do you hate Londoners? Why do English hate English? You dont know what you are talking about.You insult your own country,some Londoner is making Gems Links scooby this scooby ****.Anyway thats not the point.I have many English friends and stop blaming Londoners about their accent.You have probably a funny accent.Anyway we are missing the whole point on this thread.
2) I can see your knowledge about F-CON.F-CON is a whole separate ECU.
3) CRAIG you only dream that you had a faster car than mine.
4) EVIL Stop threating me because if you honour me and come at one of my cruises you will see my scoob upside down(be my guest).COme and think what you said about shoving the F-CON on which ***? we shall find out I can't wait.You are asking for trouble since the first page.
5) Whoever wants to see my car in action can come at TRAXX.
6) I ll post some pics to solve your curio****y
7) I didn't spend 14k on my engine mods.I spent 10k(10k for 100bhp is not bad i would think so).The other 4 were for wheels etc etc.
8) TDI's engineer is my mate and he did all the work at his private garage which cost me much cheaper than any garage in the UK
9) Whatever he told me that i will gain with every single mod i've gained.I can judge whether he bull**** me or not.TDI as a company will try and bull**** people because its boss wants to make more money obviously but not my mate.He has been telling me what is bull**** and what is true about TDI as a company.
10) I'll make a clip of my car and I 'll post it one day here(first the pics).
11) Craig I completely ignore you,you know me a little bit but you can't think who i'm, we have spoken in the past.I never thought you can have this kind of attitude towards people.I thought you were better.Educate your self little bit and then come and talk(not about tuning)
12) I don't take threats out of nobody as you will have notice I don't give a **** about anything.
13) I didn't know that scoobynet has so many arrogant members(some of them).
