Post previous cars NOW I'm finally back in a scoob PIC HEAVY
So after 13 years of various ups and downs I'm now able to finally buy myself a lovely V2 STi I plan on doing a build thread as I want to make it mint and give it a little attitude
But for now these are a few of my previous builds over the years , ENJOY
Feel free to post ( cool stuff only tho ) your old cars and any comments
the old girl which i still own, trying to restore her but playing with the subarus at the moment. [/QUOTE
What engine you running nice stance
she's a 328i sport. m52 with the m50 manifold big bore throttle body remapped ecu. aircon and traction control have been removed currently having the rear diff rebuilt from 2.93 to 3.15 lsd. e46 330 front bigger brake conversion. Sold the wheels at xmas trying to find some m5 contours or m5 throwing stars. she's sat on axle stands awaiting a respray in my garage.
had her on the rollers last year and she made 219 bhp. nothing compared to the scooby lol
I had a little tussle with one of these (on a private track of course 😉 in my classic STI & couldn't shake him off,no way it could pass me but I was quite surprised at how quick it was.[/QUOTE]
P-cressie. How does the RS compare to your old new age scoob ? I'v always looked at st's and rs's but never got round to committing to one
Jonny Park. Yeh civic ep3's are an extremely capable car in the right hands and if you've never driven one they are well worth a try and prices are as little as £2k now !!! that actual car was built into a track car in the end , then it was eventually sold and went off to sunny Ireland

The Scooby felt more raw, obviously the Scooby has alot more grip, anything but bone dry road conditions the Scooby wins. On fast sweeping roads the Focus comes into its own. But how often do you get conditions like this? Obviously the Focus is a nicer place to be and looks better in my eyes. I suppose the best way to describe the difference between the two is the technology in the Subaru is mechanical. Where as its electrical in the focus.....if you get what I mean lol. I grew up loving Ford RS's and have waited 12 years to get back in one, at the moment I can't see where the extra 10k between what I sold the Blobeye for, and paid for the focus has gone into. If I was to choose which one I would take for a blast on a tight twisty back road, which most are where I live, I'd take the Subaru.
