Scoobyworld - Any good?
Got a few bits to sort out on my UK300 so have been searching about the internet and Scoobyworld are the first company that come up on google. Been onto their site and even had a live chat with one of the guys there and he seemed helpful enough but just wanted to know if anyone on here had any experience with them?
They are also fairly local to me so don't have to go too far to see them, but don't want to waste time, money and fuel if they are no good

Thanks, like I said I spoke to someone there on a live chat and he seemed very helpful and knew what he was talking about. Just wanted to make sure they are who they are by the people who have used them before.

Depends what you're going to use them for. Theyre mainly a retailer, and in my experience a frustrating one at that. Several times I've called to discuss items on their website to be told theyre not in stock or not as pictured on the site.
Other than fitting shocks and exhausts I dont think they have the facilities to do much else. Years ago they had a dyno there but that got taken out, probably due to lack of use.
What is it you want to go there for?

Northampton to Loughborough isnt exactly a quick trip up the road, for what are basic jobs that any competent garage could do. You've got Zen Performance on your doorstep too, but i've heard they are hard to get hold of.

Well I actually live closer to Market Harborough so it's only about an hour away according to google. Will google Zen Performance and see where abouts they are and perhaps get hold of them. Was thinking about booking it into a garage near work but I'm not sure they would know exactly whats needed on the exhaust as it's a 3" system.........

Sent both a message so shall see which one replies, know I could probably get a general garage to do the work but I'd rather take it to a specialist who knows exactly what they are talking about and has the experience with these cars!

Scoobyworld are very good, decent at mapping too, TDR commented at how good the map was when they did cambelt and map check. (TDR) Thwaites developments are top notch and only at warwick so pretty easy to get to from northants http://tdracing.co.uk/
Graham goode are also at loughborough and know their way around a subaru.

Thanks for all the suggestions, got a few to choose from but had a good conversation with Zen performance the other day so will probably take it to him! Good to see there are a lot of specialists around the area!

Speak to Tom at Sprinting Hare JDM about parts - id be surprised if he couldn't help you.
Then once you got what you need get it booked in with Richard at FB Tuning
