Default Which one do I keep ?

As you all know I'm very new to scoobies and already I've been a headache with my 20 questions lol but I was bored and decided to buy another scooby which I really like but now that I have 2 which are both different I wondered if you could help me pick the one to keep and to invest all my time and energy into ?

If you could tell me why you think I should keep the one you choose I would be grateful as I'm guessing they each have their own advantage and disadvantage.


I'm guessing one engine or build as standard is better than the other or perhaps one of the two engines is stronger, lol just throwing out some random guesses and would appreciate your comments

I like the standard look of the uk, although I do prefer jdm that bodykit is just way to much for me ! But saying that that aftermarket scoop on the uk just looks too big aswell

yes prefer the uk model, I know its not as spec'd and probably don't have the same performance, but to be honest, that kit on the import.... reminds me of the Tamiya radio controlled model, in particular the shell when they come formed before you trim them down.
but each to their own, perhaps just not everyone's cup of tea

Imports are generally better than the uk spec, it's the bodykit that spoils your import.
Sorry to be blunt but that kit doesn't do much for me ....

As has already been said, The JDM one would be better if it wasn't for the ghastly 90s bodykit so stick with the paedo green one and replace that ridiculous sized scoop for the right one

Get some proper wheels on the silver thing and it will look far better.

I guess it has to be UK, but as said go with the one that you enjoy driving the most. The silver one could probably be saved if toned down a bit with the right set of wheels, seriously wide 18's maybe...
