I bought mine in Nov 2001 after owning a highly modified 'scort rs turbo which, to be fair was pretty reliable. I swore I would never need to modify my new Scooby as it was adequately supplied with horses and looks......but...........
You need to change the back box to get the real Scooby sound that makes your rib cage vibrate.....Cone filter to help it breath and an atmosheric dumper to scare little old ladies.....
It's just a bug you contract and the only medicine is to mod...

how can you improve on perfection
Lexus lights
Lower it until it handles like poo, rubs the arches, and you can no longer go over speed humps
More gauges than a Boeing 747
Paint wheels gold
Dump Valve
Let me know if you want any more help

I tell you, its dangerous - mingling with the likes of you lots! So damn expensive... I think I will be getting a nice burbly exhaust at some point, perhaps when I decide I need a new car - it's a lot cheaper...
Till then, I'll have to stand (nearly) alone... and dream of a bored out 2.5 with some crazed turbo, 6-pot brakes, link ecu, adjustable suspenders, water cooled I/C, racing harnesses... dammit.

Beware of the little voices
They start with such simple obvious, necessary things and when you give in the first time, you're on that slippery slope towards hybrid turbos, front mount ICs and big engines.

Not alone
Apart from 3.5K or so of remedial work to get rid of piston slap and make sure it dont come back, nothing done.
Got an MY98 STi4 does 300 bhp straight off no mods for raising bhp.
Might get it remapped to run on straight 98 ron, but that would be all.
I've had a few Jap import "performance" cars, RX7, Supra, GT4, and apart from safety mod's never tweeked them.

SiPie,
Understeer soon becomes oversteer in the right (wrong) hands. The quieter peeshooter zausts help hide the fact that you've just missed a gear when trying to out drag a spotty puffer jacket wearing teenage moded XR2 owner off the lights... ;-)
TimboMY03 - sensible me, LOL
