Sorry gone to the dark side.
Pics of my sti 8 and my new mode of transport.
please not too many acid comments, still going to the buckles inn meeting if I'm allowed in the car park....:D Did enjoy the scooby but fell in love with this as soon as I saw it... Andy..... http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1...y/IM000174.jpg http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1...y/IM000173.jpg http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1...y/IM000172.jpg http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1...y/IM000170.jpg |
i lurve the new yellow toy but watch yourself with the '555' plate you may wind up a few manic scoob owners with that? not sure bout the wheels bu they would look great in black !!!!!!:D
|
Hmmmm lelllllooow :)
v.toit v.toit indeed Jules |
Dave,
took the plate from my sti 8 would mean nothing to the new owner as the 'maw' is my last name 'mawson' no disrespect intended... Andy.. |
i withdraw the last comment then my friend, so black wheels ?
|
not a fan of the new evo, now the 5 or 6 is something else.
how do u compare the STI to the EVO 8? |
Dave,
not so sure about the black wheels??? the ones on are rays engineering 8.5x17 and are better than the standard item imho. If the better half will let me I would like some oz rims or something in the near future.. thanks for the comments Andy.:D |
Mark,
the comparison so far is there isn't one. the scooby was faster after the tsl remap etc etc. the evo engine sounds very raw indeed. the interior in the evo is just functional,very bland but the seats are better it's got apexi exhaust on the evo and hks coilover suspension. this is a nice base car for me to work on. the condition and colour sold it for me.. as my wife says most scoobys are blue????? only time will tell but happy so far.... Andy:D |
Nice car :D, keep the Rays they look fantastic.
|
Absolutely cracking looking car, I recently sold my Scoob and I can feel myself being drawn towards a Evo 7/8. It's funny how Ex-Scoob owners move to an Evo but not many Evo drivers move to a Scoob :confused:
Enjoy, and make sure you get the Ralliart stage 1 done ASAP :D |
Well done, mate. Did the same myself five weeks ago, bye bye UK classic on a 'v' for 52 plate VII FQ300. Would have loved a yellow one, but thought there may have been problems shifting it at re-sale time, so opted for Darth Vader black. Don't worry too much about Buckle's, You can park it next to mine :)
Black wheels.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'kin AWFUL (imho) |
I had two scoobs, classic then a bug eye, loved the classic, hated the bug eye.....sold it about 8 months ago.....bought an Evo 6 .....Im amazed by its performance and how much quicker it is than the scoobs.....Id never go back.......Evo 8 RS next for me in a year or two....
|
It's cool :cool:
I pass a Mitsubishi dealer most morning, he's got three 53 Evo's sitting there - calling to me! Would if I could afford one. The Evo is a stunning looking motor mate. |
Love it m8:D
|
Gorgeous motor ,i want one

The VII is very nice in the flesh. Like em in Silver and Black. Look large in photos but a lot more compact in real life. Not a fun on the front end of the VIII though.
Saw a Black VIII FQ300 owning a Clio 172 on the way home from work tonight. Was highly amusing. Simon. |
Andy NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! You had one of the nicest 8's in the north. All that time and £ almost seems wasted now. The Evo looks sweet though, look forward to seeing it sometime. Echo the comments on black wheels, look like steel wheels that have dropped their trims, IMHO. You're not fancying some more OZ 'legs are you? They always suited your 8 so well.

Enjoy, and make sure you get the Ralliart stage 1 done ASAP :D I've just changed from an EVO-6 to an RB5. It's not worth trying to make an RB5 as quick as an EVO - it will cost you far more money than would every make sense!! And you'd probably have to change the suspension which would spoil one of the cars finest assets. Just remember that your mate in the EVO faces visists to the petrol station every 150 miles, has to put up with bone crunchingly hard ride over even the smoothest of UK roads, and has a car that from the inside has about as much character as a Toyko mini-cab. |
Looks very nice. Not a lover of yellows, but it looks great on yours.
Never been one for huge wheels either, but a size bigger would look the biz too. |
now now do you want your claws back.....
Andy...........:D |
Thanks dazzler,
the 18/19" wheels are coming very shortly oz super leggs me thinks Andy:D |
Nice one mate, cant wait to see it!
David |
I'll be the one at the buckles inn with a bodyguard David:D:D:D:D
see you next week mate... Andy... |
Quality wheels, but could look better....in white.
|
You won;t regret it, changed my scoob for an VIII last year - same colour funnily enough - a vast improvement I think ;)
