Fitting a ScoobyECU will derestrict it, give you a little power increase too and let you run on super unleaded or Optimax without booster

Cost will be around £100 including fitting etc. However, getting hold of them is not easy as they are in quite short supply.

Fitting white dials is a swine! It sounds like they have been reassembled wrongly (very easy to do!) and the plugs not put back in correctly.

is that the only way to derestrict your car i am sure there must be a better way and that dose not cost as much and about the white dials the conecters are conected right i have checked that but the needles are still not moving the are like really tight i dont kno why but i think its the way my friend has put them in thanks for the advice but i need alot more information could any 1 eles help please.

I believe the speedo conversion gizmo (km/h to mph) can be used to derestrict. Not sure how much, but probably £40ish?

The £100 ScoobyECU is very good value IMHO... It doesn't just derestrict the car. There are other benefits - but I can see why you don't want to go down the slippery slope of modding the car yet.

There is a workshop manual downloadable from http://www.saxonfields.freeserve.co.uk/ Just follow the links to "Scooby page" and then to workshop manual. This should help with the clocks!

Where do you get the scooby ecu from?

just had my sti5 de-restricted at powerstation (based in cheltenham). It was already changed to MPH as it had been done before but the actual restrictor had a fault, so i got em to remove and replace the de-restrictor thingy for me.

All in was £165.

Otherwise Power Engineering in Uxbridge do it. However they messed up two of my bookings so i went to Powerstation instead, which incedentlay turned out to be a lot cheaper as well.
