Here's what I replaced the Scoob with. Half the money every month on loan, insurance and petrol. Double the work (new tires, split petrolhose, loose IC hose in 3 weeks)







And some piccies of the left front tire (I think the alignment was off )

Since it is not really in original state I can't really compare it to my scoob but....

Hard and aggresive comes to my mind.

It has uprated shocks and springs, uprated fuel pressure, higher boost (1,2bar instead of 0,8bar) and a EVO2 chip (215bhp @ 0,8bar)

It's handling is like a gocart.

my mate had a evo2 one of the last allhe ever did was have his hand in his pocket 304bhp 10 pot brakes just to name a few of the things done to it

the funniest and worst thing that happened to this car is when on a test run when in uxbridge (on yet another visit to power engineering) the throttle stuck on maximum revs in second gear i thought he was trying to impress me until it hit the rev limiter for 5 seconds and straight through a red light in the town centre needless to say we both had brown pants

the crunch came for him when on yet another trip back from power engineering (they loved him there) was me in my lowely scoob was flashing him out of the way at 110

2 weeks later the car was gone and a harley was put in place of it

on the plus ide of it the car handled like no other car it felt and ran just like a kart

Nice I have a 16 valve one of these running 1.5 bar of boost with a group A head gasket and an OMP group A exhaust system its been off the road for 15 months after the engine blew up due to the cambelt jumping some teeth I get it back tomorrow (fingers crossed) and I heard it run today for the first time in 15 months I don't know what power it will run now though. Have fun with it they are excellent to drive

P1Fanatic: Well they are rather small 280mm but the car is lighter than an impreza.

princessyin: Why not? It's cheaper, but I do miss my scoob.
