Default My first Scoob

Hello all,

As i'm a new member I thought I'd introduce myself and my car. After owning a few Golf Gti's I had the need for some real power and 4wd so I sold my latest golf (mk2 20vt) and took the plunge. I have a few plans for it but progress will be slow as I live and work in Afghanistan

This is what i've ended up with





It is running 351bhp and 315lb torque and was mapped by Duncan Graham of Race dynamics. Sitting on BCR coilovers and a few other handling parts. Full 3" exhaust with titanium tailpipe, wing mounted AEM air filter. And a load of other little details. Plans are to get it sitting a bit better and then eventually when funds/the missus allow, more power and carbon

All comments welcome

Kev

Cheers fellas

Don't really know anything about Imprezas so this will be quite a steep learning curve I reckon.

Anything I should do or avoid doing to it?

Sure it was still on his drive last week.

Don't know the car particularly well, don't see Kev to speak to that much, it's been well looked after in the time he's had it though, and the wheels used to be green.

He must have taken it back while I'm away then

Thanks for the positive comments everybody

Before I post a thread, could somebody point me in the right direction to find out how much power my engine could realistically take? I've tried the search function and technical section but couldn't find anything
