Looks really good (but I am biased), anyway, I would recommend a good set of Flaps (to limit the dreaded tar spots, and stone chips.

I would also recommend some front end bits... a bit like my 2005 WRX :

Thanks mate....Probably costs around £400 all in for all the changes.

There are some that complain about trying to make it look like an STi, when it isn't, but there is no denying it looks better than standard !

was initially going for a wrx this month but it was a bit of a compromise as i'm really after an sti. learned my lesson after getting a cupra instead of the cupra R. Need to put some cash away first to cover the additional costs of the sti. The waiting is killing me but it will be worth it i reckon!

Nothing wrong with a WRX, with a littl e tweaking and fine tuning, and a few mods its just as good as an STI

I wasn't dissing the wrx btw.

It's just that i thought that about the cupra but it's just not doing it for me. every mod both adds something and takes away something else and i just don't like the result and don't want to make the same mistake again. I plan only a couple of subtle styling mods for the sti to keep the insurance to as cheap as possible and will be doing my best to leave the engine standard ...

You could get a WRX...slap on some extra body bits...fit a PPP (or be like ICE Maiden and go for that little extra something), and the 0-60 will be faster then an Sti....and look just as good.

Probably save yourself around 4k

Nice car dude, but nobody else here think that getting an extra 90bhp from those mods is well basically a load of bolox?!?!?!

Well, I have two seperate read outs that give the same figures within 1bhp of each other, taken on seperate days at different places....

this is sundays results as you can see it was 306bhp https://www.scoobynet.com/essex-scoo...d-results.html

My remap is a custom one, and could have given me higher readings but the boost had to be turned down due to the fact I still have standard hoses...

I am sure others can vouch for my figures and mods

the car started out at 246bhp in standard form (which is quite believable as scoobs are never what they are spose to be out the factory!) and a full open neck 3" system and forced cold air induction kit out of engine bay with a decent map, that power is deffo achievable!

so no i dont think she is talkin bollox!
