As you say Don, the screen doesn't look big enough.

I am thinking of getting a SARD sports downpipe for my hatchback (look for GRB in https://www.sard.co.jp/parts/product...ata_matchlist/) which has an inner diameter of 76 mm as far as I can understand (in/out is confusing though in SARD's website, how can the outer diameter be smaller than the inner one?)

SARD recommends to use the following gasket https://www.rhdjapan.com/sard-sports...asket-grb.html.

I am looking for a middle section that will match the SARD or ideally an adaptor that will allow me to mate the SARD downpipe to my OEM middle section.

What do options do you guys think are available?

I think they mean inlet and outlet - main pipe is 80mm dia reducing to 76.3mm dia at the outlet flange as per their photo below


I'm assuming the 2 supplied gaskets include one for standard middle pipe as shown below, although a 3" replacement pipe would be better.

Id - INTERDYNAMICS 1000's - actually 1150 when flow tested - great injectors. ( Avoid Deatschwerks ? as they were poor flow matched and poor spray pattern I found ).
On SC46 billet turbo, head work, FMIC etc. @ 500 bhp, mapped by Andy F.

Hi mate, Thanks for the heads up!

Went to Capital seating ... New Recaro subframe assay ( runners, front bar etc. and retaining height adjustment etc. was about £110 inc vat. Slightly different shape to adjustment bar at front but hey ho!
Also had the drivers outside hip "wings" and seat bolster retrimmed due to scratches and collapsed support foam in seat base side done.

Great job, can't tell they have been opened, far better now, all done for £350! ( including the subframe! ).
Recommended!

Whilst we are on the subject of bulbs does anyone know if these will fit in the lenses for a rear number plate?

Pop the cover off and measure it.
ISTR it's the shortest available. They're easily available but don't expect a lot of light from the standard fitting.

Replace it with one of these (probably the smallest panel - it's a long time since I changed mine) or similar
The festoon adaptor fits all - even the 24/25mm one.

This looks more like the one I fitted but did away with the connector to save on space

Thanks for this Don. Didn't know they were available.
I've fitted 2 of the smallest of these into my dome light. They're incredibly bright.

lol, thanks. Honestly not driven it much yet! Never owned a Scoob before so wasn't sure what to expect, and it was an impulse buy. First impressions, build quality is better than an Evo (not difficult I know). Very punchy low down, and loving the noise of the Cobra turbo back that's fitted. A lot of fun to drive. Did have (uneducated) plans to increase the boost but having spoken to the engine builders 350 is probably a safe bet. So just going to get the belts done with a full service and enjoy it soon.

Your hatch spec sounds good. How loud is your Cobra exhaust and does it pass the MOT OK? Mine came with a Milltek exhaust which I'm not too impressed with. It's got the right balance between quiet and burbly (I prefer sublty) but it struggles with emissions even with a sport cat.
