Hi all,

Im looking to get me a scooby for TA and wanted to ask what the difference is between the V9 and V10, is it just cosmetic?

And what would be the best version to buy?

what engine?
DCCD yes or no?


I only have one shot at buying a car and needs to be the right one

Thanks nappa

 

anyone?

 

V9 is the last of the Blobeye shape, AKA Widetrack.

V10 is the hawkeye.

V9 has the 2.0 engine with DCCD, V10 has the 2.5 engine with DCCD (Assuming we're talking STI here?)

2.5 engine has got the infamous reliability issues, but after a rebuild (which you'll be doing to achieve TA power I guess) it'll be fine.

 

thanks mate for you help much appreciated.

what do you think to this spec as a start point.

prefer the red one max got personaly hehe

 

If you're going for track events I'd say a jdm hawk or spec c

 

Unless your ordering samco parts then that below is out the window

You should have posted this in Scoobynet general. You'll get a better response there. Personally I think a classic makes a better track car as it's smaller and lighter, however if you want something out of the box then a Spec C is certainly a good choice.

 

I see what u mean Gaz... thanks for the heads up.

 

I thought the spec c was just cosmetic?

 

Far from it mate. It's specifically set up to be more track focused. Oil cooler, huge water spray reservoir, lighter and able to take more of a hammering. By the way it's Maz not Gaz.

 

u a bird then lol

only joking...

Im more confused now then I was yesterday on what car to buy.

its going to get totally rebuilt, engine gearbox the lot

 

Not last time I checked

If you're going to rebuild the car then it may be prudent to look for a nice Classic shell and perhaps spec to it your requirements. It all depends on your budget, methinks you have a lot more researching to do.

 

so your looking to buy a car to rebuild the lot, to what spec???

forgive me if it think its all b0llocks but there have been several of these threads lately.

"im gonna build a time attack scooby bro", with no knowledge of imprezas or specs to build too.....

 

yeah I do, but I don't like the classics... will have around 50k for the car and build.

 

To be frank... I don't care what you think Im bona do or not... you don't know me or what I have done... So I resent the comment!

 

fair enough ill eloborate.



so your racing btcc and time attack.................id check your calender as the dates clash somewhat, also before you build an f1 car check those dates too

 

lol

 

He raced in clio cup this year tubs. Now wanting to build a ta car. Spec c is the best yes, but going sequential eventually and fully forged won't matter to much what you get.
Dccd box be handy tho as not cheap and when going sequential will need the Dccd unit and various other bits.

 

? What have samco hoses got to do with that quote?

 

Everything say you wanted to order a turbo inlet hose or ancillary hoses again the versions you've stated would be wrong as per Samcos website!
