I've not mentioned M5 for about two days now because David was getting cross ;) Maybe that means I am keeping the Scooby :D
Tuning Scoobies is sometimes like that dodgy religion I used to be into :eek: Constant doubts, worries, disappointments :eek: A group of like minded nutters keeps the lie going if you tell yourself often enough it is all worth it. Not really :D Got a bit weird there. [Edited by john banks - 8/7/2003 1:32:15 PM] |
Andy only wants me to get an M5 so he can (continue to) pass me :rolleyes: That is all that matters to him :D I won't say what matters to me as that will get me thinking about M5s again and I don't want to do that ;)
Anyway, if I got an M5 and I asked Andy what to do next with my car ;) he would not be able to tell me (except rip the telly and leather out of it :rolleyes: and hang a 20G off each bank) and I would be in the dark ;) [Edited by john banks - 8/7/2003 1:42:26 PM] |

Get a competition licence, find a suitable class at club level, go and have some fun track racing. Hard to beat for satisfaction. Keep the Scoob anyway. Les :) [Edited by Leslie - 8/7/2003 5:50:41 PM] |
... if anything??
Ok after the weekends results at TOTB2 in which i achieved my goal of a 12.5 quarter mile, i dont know what to do next:rolleyes: Do i change the car, Skyline? M5? Evo? Do i go all out with current car? Leave it, as i know it is running very very well, and meets all my expectations of this time last year. Re going all out on my car, what next? Gearbox? Enigine? Too many things to think about Steven |
I cant offer any advice on what to change next, but your car did look & sound good on sunday :)
Steve |
steven,
after sunday do you really need to ask that question.......SKYLINE, but will you want 4/5 door..???? Dan:D |
Steven YHM.
|
Buy a cheap R32 skyline and spend the rest on a BIG engine build
|
Only thing stopping me getting a Skyline is the fuel (worse than a scoob) and mainly the practicality of it.
Suppose i should 1st be thinking what car as a run about? and make this into the toy. I really love scoobs, and want to go further, but am still not sure Steven Thanks for the complements BTW |
Don't even think about jumping ship!!! Your car looked superb at TOTB. Next has to be a big engine - 2.3 or 2.5 - what a Stealth Monster it would be :D :D Lots of power off boost as well as on - 500bhp & 420 to 450ft/lbs in a v. nice red wagon would be awesome -I look forward to progress reports.
Well done on the great results on Sunday & to David et al for putting in a huge amount of effort. Good luck with the next part of your project. Callum |
Steven,
I have a turbo here that should get your car into the low 12s with your headers and set-up :D:D After that it would have to be another engine methinks! Turbo will hopefully be available before the Scooby shoot-out :D:D Rannoch :D |
its a nice looking car, but imo when u get to that sort of stage u end up spunking a load more cash at it to keep u entertained, only to relise u want sumthing new, so u flog it not long after
|
Simple.. it does everything it should.. dont do it.. its not worth the hassle.. enjoy your life, family and take them on holiday..
dont make the mistake I did.. :) David |
Keep it.
I have spent a fortune on mine and sometimes think is it worth it? At the end of the day decide what you use you car for then try to think of another car that can do the job yours does now, I'll bet there won't be much to touch the Subaru;) |
hmmmmm.........

Imagine what speeds we would do mapping that;)
|
I ll stick with the Subi and get it going a bit faster??
U ll need lots of $$$$$ to get the times on GTR?? Maybe that helps: Car Engine 1/4 PB MPH WRX auto, 2.0ltr 9.40 147 WRX auto 2.0ltr 9.71 148 WRX manual 2.2 10.02 145 WRX man. 2.0ltr 10.41 138 " " 2.2 10.62 141 Liberty 2.0 10.72 138 GTR 2.7 8.96 165 " 3.0 9.5 153 " 3.0 9.51 150 " 2.6 10.51 130 " 2.6 10.63 136 " 2.6 10.8 135 etc.etc 12.5 for 1/4 (dont know mods) is impressive and well done? As for OZ(australia) 12.5 is average meaning only, there are lots of 12sec wrxs here. Cheers |

Why the [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] carlos? drop me a mail
Steven |
How about paring some weight, if its gonna be a 2nd car...
|
What about a pulsar GTIR?
A mate of mine who is an agent tuned his up madness. He made 623bhp on methanol and 36psi! Now that would be fun :D |
"A mate of mine who is an agent tuned his up madness. He made 623bhp on methanol and 36psi!"
yeah but its a Sunny;) |
I have to agree, your car is very nice, but just on the sensible limit of gearbox and turbo.
At least with a skyline you don't need to do the gearbox and bottom end for 550hp (if you're careful). Suspension is most likely just lowering spring. WHeels and tyres are pricey though due to immense size. I think R34 skyline if I had the money. Paul |
steven.. you know my thoughts... behave.
How old are you now?? wait until youve done the bathroom kitchen, and new shed..(in the field) then do my approach.. cheap toy.. can get an evo for less than 3k.. shed = plenty of room to fix it.. David |
David,
You haven't finished your own car and already you're planning on it's sale. BEHAVE! Wait till it's working properly before you get rid of it. Paul |
I agree with David. Do some house work ;) for a break while you have a think about things. And enjoy the car you've got!
|
Only 27, 28 shortly, roll on 20th :D, mega drunkness:D.
House 1st, kitchen and bathroom, then shed in field with 2 post ramp, plenty of play time. Evo........ too dark and slow, look at Chris' with 350ish;) Steven |
steven.. keep the car for a while = keep the marriage..
she may say yes.. but when do women ever say what they think? leave it until you can have a sh1t in comfort. David |
LOL, i can sh1t in comfort;), at work:D
Home is firts, fact, 2 years living in a dump is enough! This is post home sorted. Steven |
