Scoobie Mk2 (12)

OK. How come I never saw this thread before! Mine's reg April 2006, I've had it since Feb 2010. Now with Genuine STI rear spoiler/vroof vane and loads of chassis mods.

 

I have some window deflectors and an HT Autos lip to go on at some point.

Car has a Heated Windscreen, BC ZR Coilovers and an Alan Jeffery forged engine. ALK, Whiteline rear ARB and mounts and soundproofing (doesn't work much with the thin glass) and a decent stereo. Standard exhaust.= happy neighbours!

 

where did you get your wind deflectors from?

Nice to see a few more posts on the thread started a few years back now.
Great pics of your car Mark, Ive got an Ht splitter on mine, really finishes off the front :-)
Occasionally I bring my spec D over to the IOM got a few mates in Port Erin

 

 

certainly a very clean example

 

 

Here is my Spec D - owned since 2011 and originally one of three press cars used by Subaru at launch. Mine was in Top Gear magazine.

 

Nice.
What front lip is fitted?
Anyone familiar with the carbon fibre one on Scoobyworld and how it looks on a Spec D?

 

Splitter looks great till you ding it.

this is why I use an HT plastic one. Their original one was fibreglass and once that was damaged it looked ****e. The new ABS plastic one will be a lot more resilient.

 

Mine was a Subaru press release car as well

 

Yours may have been the one used in Car magazine - they compared it alongside the Mazda 6 MPS - I've got a copy at home somewhere.

 

mine was also a press car originally, got re-reg'd. its no longer though, got wrote off in a "not at fault" accident

was a great looking car

 

That's a bugger - I think there were only three press cars which means only two left.

 

Here's the pitcure from Top Gear mag review

 

Yep mine was in car magazine tested against Mazda 6. Mines changed a bit since then lol

 

I've got a copy of that CAR magazine at home along with the Top Gear mag. I think yours may have been in Jap Performance too - I've got that lying around somewhere her.

 

Mine got around a bit then lol

 

Wow has it really been 5 years since i posted on this thread! thats nuts! So great to see a few Spec-D's still out there though! Must be getting close to only 100 left i reckon (although i still see lots on the trader!).

Just got the old girl back on the road after a 2 years sorn. Was terrified of how bad sitting on a drive for that long could have been but a few Scoobynetters told me i'd be best just getting fresh fuel, wapping the batt back in, checking fluids and starting her up. Drive by wire thankfully means flooring the throttle before key turn cuts fueling automatically so it was just a case of 15 seconds to get oil pressure and fired up first time without any drama at all. Such a relief and soooo nice to hear that burble again! Passed its MOT first time even with 2 year old rusty brakes (shocking how crap your brakes can look without failing!).

If anyone ever wants to really appreciate their scoob then go without one for a while and then get back in. Been driving a very nice and by no means 'slow' 63 plate Octavia VRS Diesal Estate which i love for its comfy/lazy DSG and the occasional straight line shovelling. It goes when it needs too but holy crap do you forget what a 350bhp well tuned scoob can do when it wants to go.

Now the less fun side... deciding to do the minor things to get her ready to sell or throwing money at her to keep and enjoy.

 

Just got my first Scoob, a 56 plate Spec D registered 2/9/06.
Have a folder full of services (inc H/G’s) but no record of the mods, just a printout for 353bhp and about 380ft/lb, the only clue I can find so far is the 3” decat (can’t really miss it...kind of takes the “discreet” away as soon as you start it!), what sort of things would usually be done to get this sort of power?
Also (and this may sound like a stupid question but this is my first Scoob) it doesn’t like hard changes from first to second.....engine seems to bog down and stutter a bit and then pulls again?? Pulls really strong on all other changes.
As i’m Nottingham am going to take her to either ScoobyWorld or Scooby Clinic for a going over....can anyone recommend either for remapping/tuning?

 

Pics....

 

 

My one having underside all treated prior to SORN over winter. I’m latest custodian of car in post 413/414. Great car!

 

I've a brand new genuine set in box if anyone is interested £100 buyer arranges collection

 

Hey guys, here's my 2006 STI Limited (Same as Spec-D in the UK and Spec-G in Switzerland) has 87000km on it and in Obisidian Black Pearl.


Mostly stock with the exception of:

• V-Limited Front Lip
  
• Rally Armor Classic Mudflaps
  
• MY05 Tail Lights
  
• Prodrive Center Pipe and Axle Back
  
• Alcantara Wrapped Steering Wheel
  
• Gold BBS STI Wheels from the US
  

and here is also my (I know it's not a Limited/Spec-D/Spec-G) a 2005 STI with 162 miles on it.

 

Wow, beautiful cars and looking mint!
What's your plan with the 162 mile one? Keeping it as an investment?

 

Thanks! I have a theme going on with the Black and Gold STI's lol.

It's a model car to me, but it goes in for its yearly service at the dealer every year (fluids, belts, hoses, etc). It's currently spinning on a Lazy Susan at my Home...makes for a good view in the morning.

Ultimate plan is to obtain a Bugeye STI also in Black and Gold so I have the complete GD Collection.
