Merlin, my tyres are 205/45/17, but car sits lower due to the prodrive Bilstein suspension . I have just sold a centre section last week, but have a mint ninja 2 system in the for sale section.

Car looks ace now Dave.....
I wouldn't lower it anymore , otherwise that front splitters gonna cop it. and you dont want that.

its only about a month a go that you told us you didnt have the scoob anymore !!! and already youre changing your new one !!!

we're taking the legacZ in for Mot tommorow...... scary times???? last mot the notices were for two tyres that we have sorted out,ive got a sidelight to pop in first but you never know.

guess you saw the new date for the tunnel run , it wouldn't do all the scoobs out to play while the olympic flame is in the city , the gust of exhaust might "blow it out" !! and there will be an abundance of coppers.

lmao i know mate hahaha Cheers anyway gona leave it as it is, then prob put slightly bigger tyres on when these need changing - 45 instead of 35's that will help a bit... besides ive got other things i need to spend my cash on, want windows tinting oh and ive got a ruddy big hole in my exhaust must remember to book that in to get sorted....

gd luck with the mot mate, fingers crossed

hum.. loads of coppers is never good mate...

Hi mate, so good and bad news then, good it passed, sad its off the road now till winter, tbh im not sure whats happening with the club mate, as i have said before i just havnt got the time to help rob atm as im putting 60 hrs a week in at work, so just dont have any spare time to myself, um.. thats not as good as it sounds btw, having to put more time in as the market is so slow now i need to do more to make the same wage hopefully will get better in time.
Will have a chat with Rob over the weekend for you and see what he wants to do.
Have a good summer mate and enjoy the mazda

This looks like a cracking day out.

He's been taking people's cars away to tune/build engines and then fobbing them off for months or even years then going on the missing with there cars and or there engines,turbo's,ECU's etc I've been in contact with a few Subaru boys in Wales,Birmingham and Cheltenham and if you add it all up it comes to nearly £200,000!! He's had my Honda Integra DC2 JDM for 9 months now and I've had to involve the Police. Im now trying to find as many people as possible who have had dealings with this man and hand the info to the Police.

Better to Ask same question in Subaru general. I'm fairly sure about five to ten years ago he first popped up. Apparently worked, so he claimed, worked for Subaru WRC team.

He scammed quite a few around Brum and surrounding areas. loads of topics. Sounds ill the same guy.

IIRC IMHO

No I didn't go in the end. The one or two people that were going to go backed out and as I didn't know anyone else going gave it a miss.

Hi a worcestershire / herefordshire /glos /shrops/ west mids / anyone lucky enough to have a sccooob .
weve had a busy year , but finally got back to fixing up the Leggy this last couple of months .
new shox , subframe and rear brakes , some diff alloys waiting to go on soon. Lookin for a windscreen scooby logo sunvisor sticker , still need to check the front end and take her for Mot , then needs the cambelt replacing one weekend. Cant wait to get back on the road.
We looked at a outback H6 auto at the weekend, wow , but decided too much like driving a ship than a lightweight mota.and had a Impreza prefacelift last winter as a temp car, but decided to stick with the 2.0 GL.Mk3.
Decided that would like to get 54/05/55 reg Legacy 2.0/2.5 MANUAL with white leather and SUNROOF , prefer wagon as next purchase, px our Royal Violet?????

Looking forward to a meet-up sometime December/new year.
Drive safe friends.

Regards Sue+Jeff.
