My 'new' Scoob
 

So after the death of my red MY00 classic (cat b write off) :cry: thanks to a blind bint :brickwall I got myself this '05 type UK STi PPP last week. It's in really good mechanical condition, but the interior n paint needed some attention. So spent 5 hours on it today in the baking sun. Pics;

Mods:
PPP
Scorpion backbox
19" Milia Miglia? wheels (not sure about these, they might grow on me)

Plans? None for now as I'm 6K out of pocket :mad: :lol1:

Lovely looking car mate:thumb:

That's proper nice. Looks like it could do with lowering a tad on the front though???

Gorgeous car that! Good find!

Let the modding commence! - Ok youre 6k down but like you havent been on the net looking up 'near future' bits to get huh?! ;)

The modding bug.....you gota love it!

Thx, yea too true. I did have some BC coilovers on order for the classic, but obv had to cancel it, so I've missed out on the groupbuy now :mad:

Nice scoob mate

Bag of sh*te



















Very nice indeed:thumb:

heh we'll see. I spunked alot of cash into the classic, which has been basically p1ssed up the wall now. I know you never get your money back on mods, but I've been put off by that for now :)

coont! :D

I had not realised the classic had be writen off :( that was a good one to.

Good choice for the replacement though I like the blob eye model a lot :cool:

Good find there :thumb:

nice car mate :thumb: sorry to hear about the classic...

Very nice!

What wax /sealants did you use as I have a silver?

The only wax he ever used,was in his hair:lol1:

Thx guys. I haven't protected it yet, just corrected the scratches/swirls, starting with scratchx and finishing with Menzerna Intensive Polish using a CCS light cut pad. But I will use Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish and Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection, tomorrow to seal it. Poorboys wheel sealant, and Poorboys natural dressing for all of the interior.

nice car like them in silver

Thats Awesome mate!:thumb:

I've never been a fan of the newage but that car would soon change my mind!!!

Its a photoshop,thats the one thing he's good at,I bet its a rust bucket:D

:lol1: we need to have words DB

Only joking mate,really nice:thumb:

I thought they were the standard wheels that you'd made larger in Photoshop! :lol1:

Sorry to hear about the classic, it looked a nice one that.

You'll make 6k back in no time if you start charging for your Squashed Subaru Service! :thumb:

heh if only it was that easy :)

Yea the classic was a minter, my absolute pride n joy, will be sadly missed.

looking good mate, still not 100% keen on those wheels though, maybe that's what's making it look a little high?

that's a great colour in the sun aswell:cool: really nice.

it all went ok with the payment then?

Nice and tidy fella.

Sorry to hear about your classic looked lovely.

Pretty car

:thumb:

Looks a nice motor, in a nice colour - not to keen on the wheels too though sorry dude! But as you say they may 'growers' :thumb: How does it compare to you're classic? That was a peach, sorry to hear about it

Thanks. I think it would look even higher with 17 or 18's to be fair :) Yea no probs at all with payment, I was just being paranoid :)

Classic with Tek3 270bhp did feel quicker, compared to the STi PPP with 300bhp, but STi is a fair bit heavier and the gearing is completely different with the 6speed box. It's such a nicer drive though, so much smoother and refined and the handling is far superior.

easy to get a bit jittery with big bucks, glad it went ok:)

it's a bit of an odd one with alloys, i always thought mine on OE springs with the 17's had massive arch clearance, but it looked fairly low. now with the Prodrive springs the arch gaps are tighter but i don't think it looks much lower than before:confused: maybe it just looks 'right' now , so nothing takes your eye as looking out of place? not sure really, it does look better though!

it is a totally different beastie to a classic isn't it? ;)

Looking good!! ;)

Looks absolutely mint. Nice house too, very tidy.

five hours in this weather?!?!?

rather you than me!! looks good for it though :)
