Neebie questions
Ok new here, me and my cousin are looking for a early scoob to eventually turn into a track day toy. Have a few q's though.
Whats the servicing intervals?
Whens the belts due?
What mods can we do to increase bhp a tad? (ill be doing braking/sus upgrades first)
Whats the usual points to look for when buying??
Cheers in advance,
if this is posted in the wrong section mods move as ness. Cheers again

There are a fair few buying guides out there for scoobs, but its all the usual high performance car buying, look for crashed n repaired cars, service history is a must as abused cars can become "tired" and lack performance
Oil pumps on onlder cars (early scoobs especially) can be tempremental and die for no reason, check gearboxes and diffs are not whining etc.

6 months or 7.5k miles, whichever comes first, but for hard driving you should drop this down, after track days you should replace the oil and filter.
Every 36 months or 45k miles, whichever is first
Normally an exhaust and good panel filter does the trick, frees a couple of bhp up
