Scoobysport backbox that I bought on BBS is hitting the diff and the anti roll bar. Has anyone else had a problem like this - its as though I need a spacer between the Back box and centr pipe to move it back 1/2 an inch?

That's scary. I had a second hand SS backbox fitted yesterday, but I'm not aware of any problems. Can you hear it hitting in the cab?

As soon as this f**kin rain stops I'll get under and take a look.

My car is 95uk what is yours?

Diff ? Mhmm, would have to travel quite a bit, but the rollbar, yeah, I had that with my car when 2 up in very tight corners in Italy. I thought my rear diff was gone, but the local Subie dealer soon found out it was the backbox banging against the rollbar.

Hiya chaps, I had this with my set up a few months ago, it seems that there was a slight "twist" in the centre section which was pulling the entire system over to one side. It was a tiny discrepancy that amplified itself by the time it got to the backbox. Swapped centre sections and it's been fine ever since

Hope this helps, probably not

Mikey
