Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
NOW SOLD
Bought this example, my first Scooby, back in February 2005, completely standard.
In 2010 the car was used as a "pristine" example by the Discovery TV channel's "Wheeler Dealers" series presented by Mike Brewer.
I then went for the Prodrive style look, with a front bumper and skirts, a version 8 rear bumper and clusters to make the car visually more up to date.
With the styling there I then concentrated on the handling, engine and braking, with a stage 3 handling pack and stage 2 engine mods going on in 2011.
Reaching figures of 324/320, I decided to stop chasing higher figures and keep the car reliable.
I then purchased a blob STI.
P.S. Added the ridiculous 1/4 mile time just as a friendly dig at Wiley's 200mph on his profile :p
