Project scene scooby
 

Hi, new to the forum as i only just got my first scooby. One thing you'll notice with me is that i like to be different, and my car ideas tend to be a bit mad lol.

Only ever had one other car, but some of you may recognise it from FastCar magazine (full feature upcoming! :D) So expect more of the same lol :norty:

Right, now onto the scooooby. Its only a sport, non turbo because being 19 (and 2 weeks) the insurance would have been insane :eek:
Its nice and tidy, 2 owners from new, 42k on the clock, no dodgy noises or anything. Going from the mad clio to this its just soooo comfy and soft and floppy lol.

Not bad for 2 days work :) Exhaust should be here tommorow aswell, so hopefully fit it tommorow or friday really cant wait to get that boxer burble :luxhello:

Got lots and lots more planned but got to wait until the clio sells before i start going mad :cry:

Coilovers area must!
Nice steering wheel
Flocked dash
Rollcage (if funds allow, maybe in future!)

Then going to really go nuts i think, thinking of maybe rusty bonnet with roofrack? Just a quick thought but we'll see what happens :idea:

O, and got these beuties on order too:
http://www.wheel-whores.com/classifi...e/100_4725.JPG

Fronts 8.5x18"
Rears 10x18"

Think im gonna need some insane camber to fit them lol :banana:

looking forward to this!! different is good :) think you'll really struggle with those wheels though..........

really like the clio

nice...what size are those rays? they look tiny

Yeah they are tiny, 7x16" all round :( Only got them because they were cheap. Tempory measure until the steelies are sorted.

Its all about getting the right mix between tyre stretch, camber and arch rolling to get them to fit. Managed to get 9J steelies on the clio with no arch work, but i think this will be even harder lol

Nice, certainly a breath of fresh air.
Not my cup of tea, but a lot of my mates are into the Dub/Euro scene.

Assuming your sport is one of the 4WD ones, you cant really run different width wheels front to rear, might be different on the higher poweer ones, but worth looking into before potentially doing some damage?

As for the Coilies, where are you located as i am looking to downgrade to standard suspension. Poss looking to do a trade for cash+old setup if you are interested.

Would it have been cheaper to insure a Turbo instead insuring a Sport with all those mods?

Anyway looks a good project keep up the good work :thumb:

Someone always says that, but no it isn't and he would have done the mods to a Turbo too ...

Keep up the good work mate ..

You have a PM :thumb: Yeah trying to incorporate the euro scene onto a jap car lol....we'll see what happens :idea:

lol, i wouldnt be able to drive a standard car, was supposed to be keeping the clio standard but look what happened lol :rolleyes:

Cheers, yeah and i got the car cheap enough anyway :)

looking forward to seeing the finished car tom :thumb: loving the steeleys

Looks like a cool project. I've gone the same route with my Newage. I really think you're going to struggle with the width though, unless you run epic stretch and flare the arches ;]

I run 8.5 front and 9.5 rear (currently 4degrees of camber with a 25mm adapter but going to 35mm soon) and it's 'a little tight'.

I matched the rolling circumference of front and rear (so you don't knacker the centre dif) by using different tyre dimensions, but you could also go the EffSixSquared route and convert it to RWD :D

Re: the exhaust, what have you got? If you want the burble you'll need an un-equal length manifold too.

Also, get yourself on http://www.imprezasport.net for more Sport chat :]

Keep us posted.

this will be interesting...what size brakes will those steelies clear, I've been looking for some that will fit over big brakes for some time?

Different but i like the idea.

wheels
 

hi tom where u get those wheels mate let me no cheers mark...

I'm a good Friend of Tom's, he surely does do some mad stuff with his cars, as is obvious when looking at the pic's of the Clio!

I don't think you should follow the Euro look...... Any way, went out for a spin in it today, drives smooth, absolutely mint other than the tiny wheels lol, I'm sure it will be totally different next time the pics are up though!

i have a sti7 momo steering wheel and flocked dash for sale drop me a pm if you're interested

phil

Hi mate, Would a version 7 momo wheel and flocked dash fit into a classic shape? :wonder: Thanks.

I can beat that I have an sti8 steering wheel and airbag thingy; the pretty three spoke wheel that will fit all classics...PM me if interested :thumb:

sorry TingTong :oops:

Im getting an OMP Corsica steering wheel, really dont like subaru interiors lol, my Renault interior was better! Thats why i want flocked dash and new steering wheel.

Project might be put on hold for a while, hit a brick in the clio yesterday and holed the sump :( need to get that fixed before can carry on with the subaru :(

looking good will be 1 off

Certainly some different ideas, and they do not seem to include daft bodykit so top marks to you :thumb:

You will need a lot of arch rolling / pulling and mad camber to fit those wheels. As per previous replies, as an awd model, you should really have the same size at all four corners.

The Volk TE37 are one of the best wheels around imho - where did you get them? 16" is too small though :(

OMP Corsica dished steering wheel and flocked dash... sounds familiar..

Although I have the medium dish rather than the deep dish so my arms aren't tucked up too much. Be careful getting a steering boss that actually works for it. I recommend the Works Bell kit that you can get from lhdjapan.

This shall be interesting:norty:

any more progress

none really lol, still trying to sell the clio....and get it fixed lol. Then once thats gone ill have at least 2k to spend on this. So made me a lil wishlist:
Coilovers
fog light covers
front splitter
new wheels
red spray tint for rear lights
badgeless grill
clear indicators all round
american size number plates
spray skirts and splitters
benen polished tow hooks
Both sets of wheels are for sale also....found some awesome corvette sawblades for sale in America, just dont want to spend on shipping aswell lol!
http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/w...g?t=1281343927

Love it. Mental

Top marks for being different dude, good luck with it :thumb:

The Clio looked :cool:

i want those steelies for my bora. where did you get them mate?

Poland lol! May be for sale soon, ill keep you posted if you still want them?

Right not much progress for a while, with being on holiday, but the clio has now sold so got the money to go on this :D

Got the exhaust finally, but the center pipe was so rusty i had to buy a new one of them aswell lol, so now got a Hayword and Scott decat center pipe + 4" backbox to go on....should sound quite well :D

Nardi drift Steering wheel is on order, should be here tommorow or weds, got the boss too

Waiting for a reply about Cusco 6 point roll cage (going to spray red if i get it)

Steelies have been on, and then sold lol (for a profit :norty:)

Now looking at getting some BBS LM reps with a bit of a dish. Rep BBS center caps, red wheel nuts, red valve caps. Going for red accents

http://i.ebayimg.com/16/!Bzk+HD!CWk~...Y8iDw~~_12.JPG

Get these ordered once the Volks have sold :thumb:

New gear knob...
http://i12.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/79/e0/4308_1_b.JPG

Then sprayed rear lights all red, makes a massive difference! especially for £10!! So much better, and beats paying £150+ for some STI ones lmao!! Also fitted rear Tegiwa tow hook that i got for £25!

Starting to take shape now :)

Wheels look mint:thumb:

Those lights look spot on, might even try it on my newage as I have the tint sat in my garage:wonder:

my bad, they are BBS LMR's. Ordered them today, be about 5-6 days :D really cant wait!!
