my experience,
absolute 110% service. Had a few bits done to my 94 RA, they are very helpfull & accommodating. Give them a call for a problem with my scooby, come on down we will have a look, withing day's / hours problem sorted.

Graham & his team are a credit to the subaru name.

my car will always be spannered by these guy's, based on my experience so far.

Classic's rock......

er i dont think so a) most people have had largely bad servicing by them but b) even if that didnt put you off last i heard they were closing down so my advice get thee to Roger Clarks just west of Leicester much better

Question Midland Impreza

Scooby Si
So if this is the case, poor service / closing down, where do I take my beast to be Mot'd and have future work done......

As you may recall I live in Bedworth/Nuneaton

The reason I have not attended any local meets is:- been away through january and forgot about the Mot, so the car wont be on the road now until early to mid March.

oops no probs, best place i found to do all the work was roger clark motorsport just west of Leicester by the cat factory http://www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/ not the cheapest you'll find, Midland impreza were pretty cheap as i recall, but there's a saying about getting what you pay for another chap who specialises in scoobies etc & has come to many of the Cov meets & is a very helpfull & from what i hear also pretty cheap is Dave at API engines i believe was the name which if a quick google search is correct is based around leamington spa, i'll ask around & get his details watch this space....
But dont be shy next meet thread infact that's also the thread which fello locals first mention midland imp were on the way out as i recall....
Ask away if i or any other locals can help at all?

As soon as the Scoobs fit for the road, I'll be coming to the meets on a regular basis. No way am I coming in my everyday car, Astra Cabriolet everyone will think my second car is a fibre glassed up Nova with a Burberry steering wheel glove.

looking forward to meeting you, do you have a Scooby Si emblem on your jacket....

You guy's kill me......
Give the Cab a break. Swapped it for a Blade, only paid £1800 for the bike. The car is worth loads more than that, two women owners from new & a private plate, FSH, 73k.

Nothing wrong with the Scoob, just want it to make a little more noise. Perhaps a de-cat may do the trick, otherwise have you any ideas of a reasonable way to hear the burble of the motor without pi--ing the neighbours off.

erm my neighbours were pea'd off with mine as soon as i put aftermarket exhaust on so er good luck with the decat is all good but it's an either or thing on the friendly neighbor thing i found lol. What zaust you got on at minute then i found a big blitz nurspec (not full decat as 1 in dp) was great for burble & some flexibility on noise front c/o bung? But come to a meet (next weekend cough cough)& you can hear the variety from the subtle OE to the ear bleeding bad boy dustbin types lol

Think its an STI system 'or so I'm told' looks pretty stock to me, the dump valve is louder than the exhaust. What i would like to do is put a group N system on, something that works without looking to big, at the same time sound the dog's.

Ive also got some pretty nasty five spokes 17", they are mint, but would prefer something on the lines of white five spoke revolutions, or something more widely used on Scoob's.
