Rusty Festa

is that McCrush's old Peppermint?

Markus

That is what I was thinking too. Loved the peppermint one, very cool car.

Nice Colour

I don't think that's my old one. It looks in too good condition. Mine had a good few bodywork blemishes & the interior was worn

ScoobyDoo555

That is a lovely example

Love the colour - I had a silver MY95 5dr with cloth bucket seats & MY00 alloys.

But your wheels really suit the car

Tidy.

Thanks for the nice comments,
yes its a full Sti wagon interior.

The bodywork is in exceptional condition.. i bought the car for its condition not its age.

I saw a lot newer scoobys in much worse condition.

*****,

How far up North are you mate??/

I've seen a wagon not dissimilar to yours, just up the road from me....near Durham.

I`m from north Manchester area.. cant be more specific cos of tea leaves,

Its got a group N panel filter and Magnex rear box.
Its running standard apart from that.

Plans for more mods are... brakes.. its got uprated pads and grooved discs but it need big discs and 4 pot calipers. the godspeed group buy looks tempting but, christmas is looming...

Has anyone had the Scubachip or scooby ecu fitted to this year of car?

*****

willy

Scooby ECu anyone? I`m just wary about it causing reliability problems?

Goldeneye

It's one of the best mods for the early classics (96 and before). Do it without further hesitation.

That's a lovely wagon by the way. Are you going to colour code the mirrors?

willy

Thanks for the comment... the paintwork is mint.. I dont know if it comes accross well on the pics, Its had a full Meguiars treatment.The paintwork in the "flesh" looks like a new car.. almost.
Not sure if I`m gonna colour code yet.
I`m getting the brakes sorted first before I go for the scooby ecu..(group buy from Godspeed)
So you highly recommend it do you? Does it spool up faster?

I certainly would recommend a ScoobyEcu/Scubachip.

Car is far more responsive, better mid range and better peak boost (depending on map), better fuelling and ignition advance. The big bonus for JDM cars is that the fuelling map is altered for 97/98 ron fuel so you can run on Optimax alone.

Do a search on here - there's plenty of threads about them and I've yet to see anybody who's been disappointed with one.

For what you gain, they're ludicrously cheap as well.

willy

Cheers for that Goldeneye,

I done a search, it all seems positive. was this a similar ecu upgrade that Prodrive offered?

*****

Goldeneye

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK the Prodrive ECU 'upgrades' are complete replacement ECU's. The ScoobyEcu/Scubachip route retains your own ECU - it just has a replacement or additional chip inserted to 'perform the magic'.

Have you seen this? http://shop.scoobynet.co.uk/Product.asp?ProductID=906

If its a safe way increasing perfomance, I`ll defo be getting it done.

Cheers

ScoobyECU is a safe way, had this on my MY94 WRX Wagon. Basically it's an adaptor board that slots into a slot on the ECU itself. OK, so you have to open up the ECU and pop the chappy on, but it's not that much of a problem TBH.

Prodrive ECU is, as has been said, a complete replacement ECU. Would have thought they are pretty hard to get hold of on thier own.

willy

I`ve just recently bought it with all the mods done by the previous owner.

Any comments....nice ones pls.
