Default Pick up my blob sti in the morning..

Got a 120 mile trip back in it from the Peak District to Luton so that should be fun!😎
I'll get some pics up of it over the weekend, does anyone know of a Subaru specialist in the south east I can take it to for its service and mods? The Subaru garage I used to take my old scoobs too is now Citroen and Isuzu.

Thanks a lot 👍

The extra weight of those brembos and 6 speed box and the extra drag on the high level spoiler would have added days onto the journey :-)

Get some pics up dude!

He'll just be filling up at a Shell, lads. Don't forget, an STi only manages a miserly 3 mpg. Only the WRX can return a solid 55 mpg.

I'm sure the OP will be making the correct modifications to get it up to the spec of the WRX.

You know what it's like when you get a new, exiting motor: can't get enough of it! Out in it constantly. He's prob no different lol.


- In 1997 (nearly 29yo) I used inheritance money to buy my dream car: an Integrale Evo. I acquired her on a beautiful Friday summer evening, located in Docklands, London.

For the whole weekend I was out in it (Fri eve to Sun night) - only stopping home for meals, calls of nature and bed lol. I teared through £372 worth of petrol over that amazing weekend.

Aahhh, the treasured memories.

Sorry for the delay...
all went fine thanks👍
The guy I got it from was very genuine and had a great knowledge of these cars as he had a P1 shell in his garage he was doing some crazy build on to be a track weapon!
Was a fun drive home and good to be back in a scoob again after 5 years in a vectra 🙈
All in all it's a nice tidy example for the age.. only thing I want to do asap is get the mirrors re-sprayed as they are badly stone chipped but other than that the body work is nice.
Not sure how I upload a couple of pics but I'm sure my missus will know so will put a couple up when she's home! 🙄

One quick question.. is the scoobynet sticker still available on here? I've seen the sticky but the link didn't work when I tried lastnight??

Thanks people 👍😎
