Hi all,

Im new to the forum and would like you advise please

Im looking to build a time attack Scooby from the ground up for the club class.

Now what would be the best Scooby to buy to build from the ground up?

Thanks Nappa

Classic type RA - light and relatively cheap. Also, closed deck block and short ratio box should be worth a few quid to sell on before you build a good spec engine and uprate the box.

I would start with something newer, classic cars are a good base for weight saving but i think its time people moved on, newage ftw

I might do one or two also but there making more expensive every year, now you need a cool down lap light that u can only buy from ta at 150 quid.

Nappa the I can drive comment where that come from lol

nappa

It was meant to be can't drive lol

So I was thinking on a low milage 05 new shape... what ya think?

Yea great cars, all depends on budget but try find a twin scroll with Dccd and then you half way there.
Also far better chassis but if you was to fully weld in cage makes no difference then. Classic will still be far lighter.
What power you aiming for?

nappa

Not thinking of power yet mate, first safety, handling, then power but all planned out b4 the build if you know what I mean.

I know nothing of the Subarus, race and rally background, should be racing in btcc next year so this is more of a fun project for me.

hence why I asked for help... there are so manny variations of car I have no idea what to go for... its going to be made wider, and all that.

I think your choice of what impreza would be based on budget for the time attack build..

Even Club has some serious spec cars...

I'd try pick something up with a lot of bits that you don't need but can sell on to help fund..

I'd possibly use a bug sti since it already has the 6 speed box and decent heads..

Trolling?

SpecC_Chris

Yes I agree, the cool down light is way over priced for what it is!

nappa

Trouble is I thing the bug is so ugly, thats just my onion.

Go one up then and get a blob..

Classic light yes but the amount you would need to change is crazy..

Cutting it fine to be ready by April???

nappa

I got years to perfect the car mate, just need to find out whats allowed in the regs. if there are any.

I know I want paddle shift with full upshift and down shift... wider track, good gage bit like the NGTC cars. seat back and mutch as posable. then I will sort power out.

96sti

No progress here then
