Hi all,

after a nice long line of some amazing scooby's, ive gone for a little change and ended up with my new animal supporting around 500bhp

got rid of this 392bhp rapid machine couple of months ago





to get my hand on this baby skyline (around a mere 350bhp) R33 GTR V-Spec in midnight purple...i always dreamt of getting one



but since getting this, have been pursuaded to go full whack with this T78 TRUST prepared FD3 RX7 type RII







quick spec of the car:

Mazda RX-7 FD3S
dyno'd at just under 500bhp on a safe map and boost...might tamper with it a little
1994 Type R II
Trust / Greddy T78 Single Turbo
NAGISA AUTO (HKS F-CON) ECU
13B REW Race Spec – Full Engine Rebuild Circa 5000 Miles Ago
Extended street port
Cold Air Feed
Huge Trust 3 Core Side Mounted Intercooler
Trust / Greddy Air filter
Trust / Greddy T78 Single Turbo
Trust / Greddy Exhaust Manifold
60mm Trust Wastegate

Still needs a little work to make it look the business as its quite standard outside except from a set of Rays's deep dish gram lights...will keep the progress posted...

Not fond of the wheels TBH but other than that is a stunning car !!

Az Sti Type R

Sorry, but out of all of them I prefer the type r, not being bias or anything, all awesome cars but the type r would get me looking!

Was that a standard type r colour then?

340BHP-WRX

Certainly looks like it to me ?

samcowrx

skyline is lovely

prince_of_tokyo

after selling it i did hear something about the guy crashing it...was gutted...

the scooby was originally white but had a bare metal spray job around 2004ish, i think one of the previous owners is from scoobynet...

as with the skyline, it wasnt a heavily sooped up one, around 350bhp so up to a 100mph it couldnt touch the scoob, but it was good top end...

skyline up for sale if anyone is interested as its just garaged at the mo...

1996 R33 GTR V-Spec...standard exept an apexi PFC mapped to UK fuel, os-giken clutch, exhaust induction etc... looking around the 10k mark...low mileage at 50,000...PM me if interested

prince_of_tokyo

Here - seemed a bit harsh to close the thread.

prince_of_tokyo

just spoke to the guy who bought it off me...he's ok, its the guy he sold it to about 3 weeks later who rolled it...shame anyhow...

skoobidude

He sold it 3 weeks later? Not a very long period to keep a car. Why do people do this?

Nick

prince_of_tokyo

Damn its been a long time...

Does anyone knoew the whereabouts of what happend to my ex type r?

Dunoo why i ever sold that to be honest.

Just to check the RX7 doesnt still have stock injectors?? (didnt see them in the mods list - just in case, maybe they are good for 500bhp though...)

prince_of_tokyo

It has uprated 550cc & 800cc injectors along with a Apexi BNR racing fuel pump

Shame about that gold scooby. I strongly considered buying it at one point. I was in the market for a version 5 and it ticked a lot of the boxes. My only fear was why had it been sprayed, etc and I lived too far away to just pop down and give it a once over/meet the owner.

nice RX, my friend has a black one, he raced it in the HKS drag series this year, but its forever blowing gearboxes, 6 in 6 runs!! but when it goes, its very quick

How can you "lose" a Scoob on the public roads FFS?! I've never come close to the limits of my Scoobs on a public road. Crazy

Anyhoo the RX7 is gorgeous ... still looks great today even 10yrs+ after they left the showroom

GlesgaKiss

You havn't been going quick enough .

I rarely do anything other than cruise in the car now, but on the odd dry night it gets a good blast round some local B roads.

^^ Cmon fella, if you're travelling fast enough to lose a Scoob on the public highway then you're going way too quick

TX.

prince_of_tokyo

With ya fella, i had that scoob for over a year and admittedly took a few roundabouts at some mental speeds and only got the common 4wd skip but it used to go round like it was on rails.

now this RX7, this is a different story all together, can smoke the rears in 3rd

So which was you fav as a daily drive and all round performer ?.

I'm guessing the GTR was just a little lardy but quick.

The RX7 Bonkers quick, but viertually unusable.

So the the 392bhp best all rounder ?.

prince_of_tokyo

OK...

The GTR was stunning, but up to say 100mph it would not have seen which way the scooby went...but after 100 it just keeps going (in controlled and legal circumstances of course )

The RX7 is just mental, scares the crap outa me and anyone whos has a ride in it...not an everyday car with the fuel consumption and ride height, but hey who gives a f**k, you dont drive cars like these for practicality. I mean, i get thumps up from big bikes when they cant pull away quick enough and create a distance



as an everyday drive, it has to be the type R, usable power and super reliability
