Just bought a 53 blobeye scooby wrx wagon, its all standard at the min but would like a decent exhaust, dump valve, and wondered what body modifications can be done without too much hassle, ie do the hawkeye rear lights fit straight in etc, any advise would be great as this is the 1st blobeye ive owned, had plenty of classics but fancy a change :-)

 

Don't mention dump valves on here, they'll be here shortly to slag you off, you wait and see.

 

One of the first things I did on my blobeye was to take the dump valve off .

 

He was right

 

scruffy in pic but nice tidy car tbh,

 

lol :-)

Ya got to have a dump valve on a scooby

 

lol, ill get fed up of it in a few weeks

 

Nice pic, a bit dirty but to hell with it lol. Is it a ppp or a standard? Can't see if its a sl or just a wagon wrx

 

its just a standard wrx 70k miles, got the horrible twin tailpipe exhaust atm

ps whats an sl ??

 

SL, just a WRX with leather interior and sunroof.

 

ahh, naa its just standard wrx then, tbh i only took a car for mot, n got talking to my mate that owns garage n he told me hed bought a new impreza ppp on a 10 plate iirc, so asked him what he was doin with his old one & bobs ya teapot i ended up buying it for £2500 which i dont thinks bad at all, i know its been well maintained, oil n filter every 3000 miles etc etc and hasnt been abused, so was a dear mot :-)

 

As above but has climate control and heated seats and comes with ppp.
If u want a new exhaust u will need a remap aswell. So get other bit and bobs together first such as cosworth panal filter and new spark plugs Ngk pfr6b will hold 320 - 330 or pfr7b. Had it had a cam belt change?

 

whats best ways/mods to get it upto around 270>280 hp, dont wanna go too mad cos ill be using it as a everyday car,

When you say cosworth panel filter, wheres best place to get one from ? n plugs

its had belt done last year at around 65k, i know bloke whos had it has had it over 6 years n had only done 17k when he bought it

 

Your a very lucky man sounds like a very well looked after car. Don't do any body work to it as its a day to day motor which will get scratches on it. If you want wheels later look in the market place and there's all ways deals on. Mark at lateral should be able to get u the cosworth panel filter and plugs or try eBay. Good luck and enjoy
P.s u will need a re map

 

thanks a lot mate ill get some parts sorted and go from there

Wheres a decent place to get a remap round my way if ya know, im in yorkshire, iirc alan jeffreys was highly recommened for my last scooby

 

Your welcome, Alan Jeffrey's, Duncan at race dynamics and IMO Simon Jolley Green Monster. Good luck again I'm off

 

Its a good price

 

Gave the scooby a bit of a clean today, looks loads better, just need to clean wheels up and get all old brake dust off :-(

still looking for a bov ;-)

 

Give Scott at scoobyspares a shout, he's up your neck of the woods. He's always breaking newages, might have a few bov's.

 

cheers mate, ill give him a try
