Default What will be your next mod ???

Guys,


I am interested to see what people are planning to do next on their scoobs and why,

I have plans for ARB's droplinks Anti-lift Kit and some lowering springs then a geometry set up, as I feel the car just needs tightening up on the handling front, then possibly a new head unit and speakers before I go for some more power

Main reason for asking as if there seems to be a common theme, then it could be worth organising some group buys.

Look forward to all your ideas and reasons.

its an easy conversion, change a few panels, wedge something under the throttle, put a few bags of cement in the boot, put some mondeo springs on it, quick spray job and voila!!!!!!

cant wait!!!

however, in my forthcoming "mid life" status, (providing i live to 80) i could do with the comfort, quietness and hopefully reliability this will offer me.

i thought about it on the way to work this morning, and i'm sure many people have fond memories of their "first" scoob and everything it brings, however its deffo time to let go and hand the reins to maybe another "first timer" who i'm sure will have a grin the same as i've had for nearly 2 years....

onwards and upwards.... (well at least 4" upwards)

Tell me about it..... I was involved in an RTA yesterday where a truck hit my bosses car that I was a passenger in and now feel like I've been hit by a train (I was due to have the last physio session from the last whiplash injury next week!!)

The drive in today was I little painful..... MAN I'm getting old

Running my last marathon was easy compared to the 8 months of injury I had after due to deciding the week before to do it..... (and no training!)

BTW Mr Stephens... I've noticed there's no official SIDC sponsorship yet?

I'm sure we could get the signage somewhere on my person
