I picked this up earlier in the year, but the previous owner didn't know much about the car tbh, and the car came with a key, MOT and a dyno printout

Was this anyone's old car? Or does anyone have any history they can share please?

From your Pod times I would say its definitely not totally standard !
Stop improving it, I want to beat someone at N Weald !!
Hope you find out more about it .
What did it produce on the dyno ? (or is that secret ?)
Cheers, John

318 mapped by JGM (we think)

Should have coilovers on it by next week, should help a bit.

Bugger, you & I are neck & neck power wise!
Aha, if Simon mapped it he may have records , that's good.
I would say IMHO that it can't be running the standard TD04 turbo, even wringing its neck I
wouldn't expect it to make more than about 280-290 with a TD04.
Not sure about Scoob 4x4 traction theory & effects of suspension.
On bikes/rwd cars many people favour a fairly soft rear shock as this helps weight transfer onto the rear tyre/tyres.With our Scoobs (non-dccd) the theoretical torque split is 50/50 front /rear but I'm sure I've read in reality more than 50pc goes to the front,couple that with the natural rise of the front under acceleration & you get wheelspin.So stiffer rear shocks/springs to reduce weight transfer & stiffer fronts to reduce the lift? Now my brain hurts & I'm going to bed
So in summary don't buy the coilovers & oil the tyres before every run

Haha

It's running what I think is a Vf20 it's a bit hard to make out the numbers, but that's my best guess.

Trouble is nobody seems to know anything about that turbo! I think it came on the JDM Legacys!
