I have a baily d/v yes it makes a noise.
Botherd what other people say its my car and i'll do what i want to it, older people on this forum might call you a chav, but who cares about them its your car.
Can someone tell me what a chav is, as anyone being different on this site is called one

I have a Greddy Blow Off Valve, sounds well when you give the loud peddal a push and it also feathers the air as you back off the throttle.

I love it.

aah Gav this might be the DV ive been after for ages. Is it loud and sharp unlike the traditional wooshh noise. And makes a clatter noise when in a built up area

SwishOvBolton 13 April 2005 01:46 AM

d o you know what also makes me a chav apart from having a dump valve , the fact that i give my car a name .................................hidlago .....................................

With all due respect to everyone, i live about 2 miles from CHATHAM town centre, don't know if anyones heard of Chatham but if you have, and you've been there, you'll know exactly what a chav is and you'll also know that no chavs in this area, could even contemplate owning a Scoobs! They're all too busy queing up in the dole queue and driving their untaxed, uninsured TOTALLY UNROADWORTHY pile of sh*t escorts and the like around (no bitterness at all!!).

I don't like to generalise but believe me, you would notice a chav from a mile off and they wouldn't be in a Subaru!!

I love it and the birds love it!
Defo a Yay.

Paulo P 19 May 2005 04:03 PM

I removed mine last night :)

mudfrog 19 May 2005 04:15 PM

Removed mine on monday night. Noticed instantly engine runs smoother and better mpg aswell.
Got a bit bored of it to be honest.

Cheers,

Rich

I love driving past a bunch of people and letting go of accelerator and whoooosh then look in my rear view mirror and heads are turned.

XR-Wayne 23 May 2005 09:48 AM

Iv gone of them now.

I saw a Impreza this morning going on an off boost just to set the dump valve off.
i was just thinking, what the hell is he doing.

Defo a no.lol

brihoppy 23 May 2005 12:35 PM

someone should do a poll...?

cookstar 23 May 2005 12:45 PM

I must admit, the first mod i had on my shopping list was a VTA, then i read many many posts, slagging off people that own them. My mind was changed for feart of being labeled as a "chav" etc. But yes it does seem the word chav has been adopted by lots on this forum, as a means to group people who dare to differ from the mainstream.

So yes very soon i will be ordering a VTA for my 02 WRX, and if its $hite then i will remove it, put it on ebay and put it down to experience.

Do what you want to do, its your car. You dont buy a house then let your neibours tell you what coulour you can or cant paint it!

Cookstar out

brihoppy 23 May 2005 01:03 PM

i might get a blasting for this or be labelled a hypocrite for what im about to say...but here goes...!

i think big bodykits, dv, neon lights and all that kind of thing are mainly fitted by people who want to attract attention...the impreza is usually enough of a headturner with few or no such mods, and when people look at my car as i drive past, i appreciate the fact that they recognise a nice, performance car...i dont crave the attention or get a hard on about it...

for me, anyone that wants to attract extra attention to their car outside of a show is suffering a lack of character in certain respects...my mods are purely personal taste, but how many other people can honestly say that about some of their mods...?

i know not everybodys the same, but ask any psychologist and i bet theyd say something along the same lines...is it called overcompensating...?!

peachy wrx 23 May 2005 05:40 PM

i love mine! mine goes tisssh tisssh tisssh and love it! dont care what anyone else thinks :D

mgcvk 23 May 2005 07:34 PM

As far as I understand it, fitting a vent to atmosphere dump valve to a scoob can confuse the sensor which decides on the fuel and air mix leading to worse fuel economy and potential engine damage.
