This is my 16th Scoob, and ive finally decided to grow up, stop wasting money, and keep the bloody things for myself. This was offered to me for a decent price so like I say, its mine now and im keeping and spending money on it for me.

Heres a few pics of how it has looked, and what I have done so far, this will be a rolling thread with pics added as I do things to it, here goes

FEW OF HOW IT HAS LOOKED IN THE PAST




THE DAY I PICKED IT UP



FIRST THINGS FIRST, REMOVED THE MORETTE REAR SKIRT


LOOKS BETTER ME THINKS


NEXT WAS THE WHEELS, SOLD THE PFF7S AND BOUGHT XXR 527 FROM REVALUTION


CAR NEEDS DROPPING AND WILL BE DONE THIS WEEKEND, GOT A SET OF COILOVERS COMING FROM BELGUIM


NEXT, DVD SATNAV INSTALL


DECIDED TO CHANGE THE JDM INTERIOR FOR A NEWER AIRBAG BLACK ONE


NEXT WAS THE EXHAUST, NICE BOX BUT BIT TO QUIET FOR MY LIKING, FROM THIS


TO THIS



REAR LIGHTS FROM THIS


TO THIS



WILL POST MORE AS IT CHANGES, PLANS A LOWER IT, CARBON INTERIOR BITS, MAYBE CARBON BOOT AND BONNET, AND THEN SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE, DEFO SOME SORT OF REMOVABLE STEERING WHEEL AND A RALLY SEAT

KEEP WATCHING FOLKS

 

love it, will be even better when lowered. What coilovers you going to use? Shame you got rid of the Genome exhaust

 

gENOME WAS JUST TO QUIET FOR ME, BIT RASPY ASWWELL, getting kyb coilovers

 

interested to see this turn out

 

Well after nearly four hours of freezing my nipples off, and the use of a couple of Jacks, big spanners and the most patient mechanic I know, we finally got them on, they are a bit low at the back and will need adjusting upward rather than downwards, but for now they will do. Back to the garage tomorrow for some raisng and lowering here and there but it takes time to get these things right.

Ill put some pics up in the morning of how it went and how low it looks now

 

Quite funny, I went from a Nur Spec S to a Genome. What a coincidence!!

 

^^^ nice one

 

I'm loving it by the way, suits me down to the ground! I was a little concerned that it was a bit muted but it opens up when you put your foot down.

Car is looking good by the way!

 

OK ALL SO HERE GOES WITH THE PICS, WEATHER WAS FECKIN FREEZIN BUT HARD GRAFT KEEPS YOU WARM


OFF WITH THE OLD FRONTS FIRST, BOTH SUDE JACKED AT SAME TIME


ON WITH THE NEW



TOTHER SIDE COMPLETE


FINAL CAMBER ADJUSTMENTS


TIME TO TAKE AWAY THE JACKS



LOOKING GOOD


REAR NEXT


FINAL SIDE, AGAIN BOTH JACKED AT THE SAME TIME


JACKS AWAY AND SITTING A BIT TO LOW FOR MY LIKING, DRIVE HOME WAS INTERESTING BUT DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK THIS MORNING FOR FINE TUNING



SO JACKS BACK ON THE REAR, WHEELS OFF, TINKER TANKER HERE AND THERE RAISED THE LOWER STRUT MOUNT AND VOILA







BIG THANKS TO RICH, (CARMOSTER) FOR ALL HIS HELP AND ADVICE, TOP BLOKE AND WORKS LIKE A FRIGGIN TROJAN, CHEERS BUDDY

 

Very nice and good choice on the mods. Although i'm not a fan of aftermarket bodykits in the main, i would have liked to see how the rear would have looked with the rear bumper skirt you had before still on when lowered, i think it may have suited the spoilerless and low look quite well. You still got it to try or sold on?

 

still got it?

 

Nice wheels mate

Wiley

 

Love those rims, looks much better after the drop

 

WELL, ALL DONE AND DUSTED, DRIVES LIKE A FLY ON RAILS




SET OF GAUGES NEXT TO MAKE SURE ALL IS WELL TEMPERATURE WISE AND BOOSTING AS IT SHOULD, STAY TUNED

 

Love the spoiler-less look

 

Well then guys and dolls, apart from the Defi gauges (copies) an toiling with the idea of getting the scoop carbon wrapped its finished. decided to ditch the airbag interior and went for genuine V7 STI front and rear, still waiting on door cards bt you get the idea, steering wheel works well and is a little smaller than the standard Momo one, only by a small difference though, but noticeable. Carbon fibre rear spoiler was fitted today with the help of Carmoster, Cheers Rich. Wasnt to sure about it at first but no its on and having looked at the NASIOC site, im glad i chose to fit it. So heres some pics





















Hope you like and please leave comments positive or negative, but please................CONTRUCTIVE

 

Looks great.

Maybe lose the rear wiper.

 

Very nice mate. That spoiler shouldn't work but does, congrats on daring to be different

 

Love those wheels - if you ever decide to change them let me know

Not a fan of those rear lights though

 

Nice looking motor bud, it's coming along quite well.
I thought you said you didn't come on here anymore
though because it was full of *****!

 

Nice motor mate - what's the name / style of that spoiler?

Fancy trying one out

 

looks great mate, so much better on the coil-overs and the wheels look awesome

 

+1 looks awesome

 

just type into ebay Gt Carbon spoiler and see what comes up, they go for around £250, but i got mine at a bargain price, re-painted all the supports and t cutted a few scratches out, bargain

 

please put the original rear lights back on, you have a very nice car other than that

wiley

 

Keep the rear wiper, it shows its a JDM & put the god dam std rear lights back on!!! lol

 

lights going back on

 

Twin Horns thanks to ScoobyRob

 

Nice looking pair of hooters you've got upfront there! lol
What happened to your wheels from your garage or are those the ones
you've got on?
