How many of u get worried incase the rozzers pull you
Because your scoob sounds to loud, or because there gona emissions test you?
Or because u havnt notified your insurance comp that
You've modified your car? Is it worth all the headache ?
Wanna see your views on it? There must be thousands
Of scoobs modified out there , so is it easy to over come

 

Innit bro.

 

As long as you inform the insurance company and don't go too lairy with exhausts or bodykits there is no problem. I would say most Imprezas on the road have been modified in some way. Maybe a dump valve or an exhaust etc.

 

dont think i have ever had any thought of what you have said and i have had many police behind me etc... although mine is fully decatted now and sounds like a dam track car, i do still have my STI backbox sitting there, maybe i will put back on some day

 

My car is heavily modified and had my car nearly a year and never had any issues with local police, Only done 3k though and i don't try and create attention to my self.

But to be honest most of my cars have been modified and never had issues, All mods are on insurance, I have seen a few threads about exhausts in last few months about people getting pulled for the db rating being higher than standard but to be honest a £30 fine don't really bother me.

 

I get so worried about mine, Its not so much loud but i have a full decated system on and the police always have vosa stop checks round here so just hoping they dont check it.. I modified my turbo heat shield to fit back over the turbo so you cant really see its not got the cat there

 

WTF! Are cops really doing emission tests on the road in UK??

 

Most modified Subaru's will run with no cats but it's only the same as any other performance modified car, If Vosa pull you its just unlucky but no need worrying about it.

 

Mate we have major vosa stop checks down here, They try find anything wrong with your car then seize it. I spose depends what area you live in really

 

VOSA stop checks! - dont think i have seen one of them before? - what is it like a free MOT station? and if you fail what happens? do you have so many days to change it etc?

 

They have powers to seize your car if they feel the need there and then.

True, when I lived in the midlands there are so many modified cars, and it such a vast area that to get pulled was a rarity , but living on the Isle of Wight, 28 miles by 20 miles, it's a different kettle a fish, lol, I'm still going for full decat system, and remap next month by bob Rawle , but I do worry Cus the police have nothing better to do over here.

 

Seriously getting pissed off with the UK law now! - more and more every ******* day!

Tax sky high - petrol sky high - insurance sky high - speed cameras everywhere - parking wardens everywhere - now these numpty's - makes my blood boil!

 

Think i will download the F1 theme on to CD and always keep a stig helmet in my passenger seat, then lets see what happens when i see these people lol

 

Xdevil your words are so true mate!! It does my head in how we get stung with everything over here,

 

Seriously does make me feel like I'm living in a prison sometimes

 

Get some nuts or drive an eco car lol

 

I would say that there are more modified scoobs out there than standard ones. Which modified can be as minimal as a dv or de-cat etc. I am now on my 4th scoob and my first was standard, but that didn't last long! The current one to look at is standard except a stainless center section and back box on the exhaust I still have the down pipe cat still on, oh and a vta dv. Apparently though it has been tweeked a little and I can honestly say it seems to be the quickest scoob I have had to date and my 2nd scoob was running around 290bhp
Touch wood I haven't been pulled in any of my scoobs yet but if you go around with dark tinted front windows, loud music blareing out and the car looking like a tatty piece of old scrap, then I should imagine you would be a No1 target for the police.

 

Perhaps you should have asked if there are any un-modified Scoobs out there? ;>

Note: If the EU isn't challenged, they will legislate against modified cars!

 

Got a standard my00 and a lightly modded 03 sti,exhaust,filter & map
