Smile my new scoob!

Ive sold the red widearch wrx to a mate, and am now awaiting the arrival of this.


Ive waited 4 weeks already, and still have another 6 to go!!

Got huge plans for it, finaly destined to have an 03 facelift once Ive finished all the kits for this shape.
Its a JDM spec, with some mods, so should be no slouch, but an ECUTEC remap is planned.

Only problem is, Ive got to drive round in a 1988 309 1.3GL until it gets here!! Its gonna feel soooo fast!!!!!

Cheers, Rob.

Its through www.jap-link.co.uk
They give you access to a large number of auctions and help you find a car, then bid for you to your own limit you set for the car, they have people out there to inspect the cars before they bid. After loosing 5 or so times, you get a feel of what to expect the cars to go for, and can make an informed decision by looking through the auction grading sheets.
Im getting this for 11.5K all in, so not a bad price.

All seems well so far, Ill let you know how it concludes.

Cheers, Rob.

lol at the last sentence.

After selling my last scoob I got an old (it was knackered) rover montego countryman estate diesel.

I then got a JDM MY03 WRX STi. The insurance company did not like that at all lol! I had to send in proof of driving performance cars (previous NCB sheet for last scoob).

Yes, I did find a difference in performance
