thanks nicola


He is looking for a mint standard wrx, Had a look at a red one yesrterday on an m reg bit the bodywork was crap.


When is the turbo supposed to come in as the one yesterday took a bit to kick in

I've got a wrx uk300, my turbo kick's in just after 2000rpm.

this one kicked in well after that

Hi and welcome. Your fella has good taste! Ive got a 96 wrx and the fuel economy is bad but not awful. Its no worse than my old FTO gpx.

My turbo kicks in at about 2500\3000 (I think - normally too busy grinning!!)

Tell your fella to look around and hell find a good one.
Cheers,

Welcome! :) I wouldn't say they have a drink problem.....but think George Best and you're on the right track. You play, you pay....as they say! You need deep pockets to run a Scooby as they require specialist care too and it's not cheap!

Hi & Welcome!
Re. fuel consumption - totally depends how u drive it but hey, u don't buy a Scooby & then drive around like ur in a Mini Metro do ya???
Around town it can b pretty gas-guzzling but if ur a bit tight on pennies one week, let the little twats with the baked-bean tin exhausts burn u off at the lights a few times (pretend u can't see 'em!) & u'll probably make it thru 2 the end of the week without going bankrupt!!!
As already stated tho, bottom line is...
If u wanna play, u gotta pay...But u've only got 1 life & what else u gonna spend ur money on???

When I first had mine, I did 15mpg. So I tried taking it easy and got 18mpg. So now I drive how I bloody well like as it doesn't make a lot of difference. Thats mainly around town, the best I have ever had was 24mpg and that was a combination of motorway and A-roads.

Mine is an M-reg WRX fully de-catted btw.

Also mine begins to spool up around 2k but the real shove is from 2.5k onwards.
