Well, I have returned from the darkside! After owning an Octavia vRS for the last 2 years, having previously owned a UK MY98, I p/xed the Octavia for a 1996 WRX STi and a bit of cash today....... and its great to be back! The Octavia just couldnt quite provide that grin factor that the Scooby does!

There are a couple of minor issues with the car that I would be grateful for you guys advice on:

1) Horn doesnt work....
2) Electric Ariel doesnt work - where can I get a new one?
3) Right bolster on drivers seat worn through - can you get them recovered / replaced?
4) Blanking panel missing from centre console (above radio) - where can I get one?!
5) Drivers mirror is knackered. Where can I get a whole new unit in white?!
6) It needs four new tyres and I think the back discs are grinding a bit.........

Other than these minor niggles it is friggin great to be back!!

Cheers,

Calum

 

Welcome back! couldnt resist the scooby burble eh! have you got any pics of the car?

How does it compare to the UK Turbo?

 

Its a completely different beast to the UK Turbo!! On the very first drive I thought it was ok then I floored it and was absolutely stunned!! I do have some pics, here they are:

You could give www.scoobybits.co.uk a ring, i know they have quite a large stock of spares and im sure the lads would ship to Scotland.

 

Thanks for the above - will give them a ring....

Next question guys. Any thoughts where I can get an OEM cambelt for the car? I have a local garage who have fitted a couple before but can only provide goodyear belts. Not to sure about this........ Or does anybody know of any import specialists in Scotland who could do the job?

Thanks,

Calum
