Bruiser no mods needed mate. They seem to get it right first time round
I have spoken to a few guys who have tracked their cars and the standard pads fade after about 10 very hard laps so I guess some harder pads and some racing brake fluid would be good if you were going to track a car.
Oh and when I change the tyres I`m gonna get 255`s on the front and 275`s on the back. I just hope this doesnt ruin the handling. Again a few guys in Europe track their cars at the Ring etc and reckon the fatter tyres are better in the dry and wet.
In the 225/255 tyres at the mo you only have the choice of michelin`s or continental`s. I think in the bigger tyres we would give Pirelli`s or SO 3`s.

Arron,

So hey spent all that time cleaning it, but not the exhausts? Or is the dodgy BMW chrome tarnished already?

Scoobs easy to get power out of? Err yeah....

of course you can do it.....if you know what your doing.in cyprus we do, and we unleash the beast quite easily. so.....once the beast is free we can beat any m3, even if the beast is standard (300bhp) m3 have no chance.....
let alone the project that my mate is currently working on which is going to be more than 600bhp,..........leave your imagination work on that
cheers

Stavros,
Pehaps you should explain 2 things.

1) How a 300 BHP Scoob can 'beat' an M3?
2) How you plan on extracting 600 BHP from a Scoob?


Arron, looking sweet mate, we should meet soon. You going to Bedford?

Here here, That M3 beats any scoob...not on performance outright if you have a track missile, but the refinement alone
is beautiful...

600hp, you may be thinking of Tony Rigoli's 10 second 1/4 car in aussie....35 psi of boost.....it aint pretty though!!

I didnt say 600bhp is easy to get but you will hear about the 600 bhp scooby from cyprus pretty soon
and to give you an idea is going to be a similar project to JUN'S one.
also BM'S.....not for me even if they were 1000bhp

If I called <insert local dealer here> and told them my car was dirty and could they pick it up and valet it for nothing, they'd all laugh at me then charge me 50 quid for each hour they continued laughing.
