This man has really worked wonders with my 96uk scoob , He has done most of the modding himself, he has turned it in to late 300bhp ?????? so what do you think, 6 speed (uk) (fitted by steven / david) AP clutch, K/L , dawes afr, 3" full decat scooby mania, D/P roger clarke, TD 05/06 walbro 341 fuel pump, SX fpr, apexi power fc, (jonny gav) 550 injectors, brembo brakes, morrette headlights, MRT fmic >> (now welded ) induction mod - side entry, gruppe s headers and flexi up pipe, (steven) >> various other power mods sshhh , and andy f , mapping 3 times now , if Ive miss some thing I think some one will tell me , thanks all , Alan.

 

he's a little treasure he helped reduce the spool up time on mine bet i must be making 300bhp by now

 

lmao @ steve

as long as its enough to help you over take them old legacys ehh

 

OMG, hate to think what all that little lot cost you!

 

Alan, I think you missed out strut braces too?

 

LOL >> yep front top and lower strut braces ,

 

yes alan how could you waste all your money on those mods i would never do that does your lass know now

 

cheers steve >>>> she knows about the new (large air filter) ssshhhhhhh

 

anyway alan 1.5bar thats 0.05 bar more than me it sounds nice how would that be compared to mine as your dawes devices seems to be the thing that is spoiling your setup, get some money spent on an avcr

 

Im told by a man what really knows my car that I dont need a avcr ?????????????? and spending money is no prob !!!!!! cheers,

 

Youll be testing it out at Elvington next year then Alan

 

Good for how many miles before it go`s bang??

 

Don't understand this comment. I thought Harvey was running a near 600bhp car as an everyday run-around without problems and he's been a this game for a while, or am I seriously misinformed?

 

Behave Edward!!!

 

No it was me being inquisative??
I just cannot see this type of power being relaible for serious mileage.
Without a very strict and expensive service schedule.
Enlighten me????

 

Hope-fully not going to go bang >> If it does I will get it mended !!!!!! LOL ????

 

arron... plenty of cars at similar spec been running for over a year using 6k service schedules that I know of.. and no problems so far

although Im beginning to think my gearbox is living on borrowed time

 

From my own limited experience with very modified cars they dont last that long UNLESS they are built with very good components.
Very much like the Evo 400.
Its that money because on the components used to make it last three Years without any issues.

 

Mines been over 360 for more than a year , But on my 3rd gearbox now (uk 6 speed) so hope Im ok with that, Just had 05/06 put on , its all good fun, cheers,

 

ive got virtually the same spec as alan, except he has a FMIC and i have a TMIC and i dont have any engine problems in fact i dont even get anymore than a green flicker at 6900rpm in 4th gear plus i know a few other people who have been running similar spec for ages as long as its mapped right

 

yep mapped right >>>> AND put together right in the first place, ????? cheers,

 

How much have you guys invested to get this type of reliable performance....interested only.

 

less than a WR1 :P
/spoon away


(ps: im not rich enough for a WR1 )

 

my 99 V reg impreza owes me £17k thats with everything ive spent on it and ive had it since it was just over a year old

 

yeah but you bought it crashed damaged steve

 

but its still a mint car and no one can tell unless i tell them but your right as they were selling for £17k at the time i bought mine

 

 

my uk96 owes me more than that !!!!!

 

my uk99 owes me
7000

its running on the happy side of 300 doing 120miles a day
total mileage = 105,000 and rising

admittedly I get fuel card from work and only pay about £50 pcm tax to include private mileage.
with well chosen mods and a realistic budget 300 is possible out of a classic, the ptw ratio is a little bit friendlier as well

 

back to the original topic,

Harvey Smith, top bloke
helped me out with parts at very good prices and information at all sorts of silly hours of the day and night.
