Hi guys i'm new to Scoobynet and scoobys full stop, this is my first jap car, iv owned french cars since i passed my driving test and i can say i'm loving every minute of it.

Little info on my self, My names Dom i'm 21 and i live in leamington spa.

everyone love pictures so hears a few of my previous cars,

First my 206 GTI180, it was quite modded and was the 2nd one in the country/world to be cammed. all the work carried out by pug1off:









I then sold it and bought a Renault Megane R26, didn't get to do any performance mods just visual really, i loved this car and had no intentions to sell but my best mate offered me cash and i couldn't really turn it down:












On to the scooby, i bought it from a dealer so don't know much about its spec (thats the only issue buying a car like this from a dealer) but it came with 6 months gold star warrantee the people i bought the car off are a BMW and prestige car specialist, the car was fully detailed before i bought it including wheels off and cleaned, i littrally cant fault it, its immaculate!.

So the spec i know of

- PPP
- Black wheels
- Tinted windows
- Tein lowering springs
- Magnex Decat Centre section
- Alpine double din headunit with satnav and TV :-D

it has an exhaust but i'm not sure what it is i think it may just be a jap can as it has no markings as far as i can see but it sounds quality so not complaining.

it had just been serviced including new brake pads and all oils changed, with brand new tyres (continental sport contact 5's) and the cam belt was changed 7k miles ago :-D.

So today i spent 8 hours cleaning it, since it had just been detailed all the dirt just ran off most of the time was spent trying to clean the engine bay which was a mess!! and as you can see from my previous cars the engine is a very big thing for me, so onto the pics

Welcome mate. Nice looking sti. I love them in black & being the later spec with dccd & widetrack you probably have the best model of Impreza... in my opinion. Enjoy!

kingdom200

haha i love cleaning mate, you get such a satisfaction from cleaning black something i lacked from white with my old car.... but as i said most that time was spent on the engine bay haha and there is still many many many many hours of cleaning to do under there

Looks mint, great job cleaning the engine bay

kingdom200

cheers guys, and there standard STI wheels mate, and no there about 2" off the ground i need to cut them down or buy new ones tbh as they scrape like **** on speed bumps and stuff

kingdom200

ordered a few things this week, i got some cheap tailored mats and i thought they where going to look better to be honest but oh well they will get me though the remainder for the winter then i can get some proper ones...... i also got some carbon gel number plates, i had them on the megane and loved them!.

few more things to arrive vibe slick front speakers + dynamat to soundproof the door cards and boot lineing.... that will be all the spending for now as i have a holiday to save for but i plan to have a carbon splitter carbon front grill carbon vortex generator, carbon side door sticker carbon effect mud flaps and carbon dipped centre console hopefully before jap fest.....got a carbon fever!!

Like the Impreza but..

What are those R26's like? I'm one of the few that actually like the look of that shape megane and I quite like the idea of an R26. What's the acceleration feel like compared to the Subaru? They seem pretty reliable?

kingdom200

I would say the megane handles a lot better buy obviously you could probably do a lot to make the scoob as good but then again you could always more more to the megane again it comes with lsd and stuff so track driving is really fun, I get less body roll in my Scooby but that doesn't really mean much......... Speed and acceleration I'd say the Scooby accelerates a hell the of a lot quicker due to 4 wheel drive but once moving I don't think there would be a massive amount in it to be honest...... But there are loads more after market stuff for the subaru....... As I said I loved my megane and had no intention to sell it there great cars!

Welcome mate, nice looking car you have there.
I'm local, from Warwick and now living towards Rugby way. Was it Harbury lane for the container photos?
Would recommend Mark at TDR in Warwick for any mechanical/uprating work buddy. An opensource remap to account for the decat centre and dump valve would be useful (not essential) for peace of mind and a nice power hike.

few nof my mates are no mark personally and said he is the go to man and he will sort me out big time if I want anything, I don't know him but want to pop down and have a chat. The other option for me was API in Harbury so plenty options around hear I just want to get her on a dyno and see what she's putting out

jameswrx

Thanks for the reply.

So, aside from 1st gear off the line.. Say if you were in 2nd or 3rd in the megane and nailed it, does it feel as quick as the subaru doing the same?

kingdom200

No it doesn't but my megane was standard power wise if I put the Scooby up against a stage two megane it would probs sit flat if not pull away from the Scooby but there pretty maxed on stage two at 280bhp where as I have a lot more to go now

Mark had a dyno mate, pop down he'll be happy to have a chat and sure he could fit u on the dyno

Lovely looking car
Looking forward to seeing the mods you do to it

kingdom200

had a busy few days this week.... managed to get my headlights done, one step closer to being fully stealth, while i was there i decided to spray my intercooler instead on polishing it because i plan to change it to a front mount eventually and it seemed like the easiest option for now........also managed to fit my plates ( i mounded the front a little too high, again with the intention for a front mount eventually though..















This should probs be moved to the project section now lol

pardon the poor quality phone pics :-D
