Lo all

Just signed up here, and frig me this is a big forum!!
So hopefully I can get some help.

I only bought my scooby about 3 months ago, it is a '99 T, bog standard apart from the SS system on it and an induction kit and dump valve.

Now my little beast is Red, which I dont mind, but I am struggling to find inspiration on which set of alloys to have fitted that will look sweet on the car...

Have any of you guys n gals got links to some piccies of Red modded scooby's, so I can find some inspiration on what to fit?
I dont like the look of gold on red, so that aint happening.
My mods are usually very subtle, so I wont be going down no silly 9ft wide bodykit routes.

All I am looking to do right now is:

1) Have bodykit colour coded (so if you know of anyone in South Yorkshire area who colour codes, please let me know. Cos my black skirts are evil!)
2) Fit 17" or 18" rims
3) Boost gauge

Once that it done, I will start on the engine.

But if anyone can help me with ideas on what to do or where to go in my area (Rotherham) please can you let me know.

Thanks peeps.

Hi, just been looking at scoobyclinic web site yesteray to have the bits colour coded on my car, side skirts/wing mirrors and door handles for £230 thought that was reasonable

http://www.scoobyclinic.com

they are in chesterfield too so not too far away from you.

also I think deep chrome split rim type alloys look the bomb on a red car. good luck with it

do the brakes and suspension before spending too much on the engine my friend- you'll reap the rewards. then maybe an ecutek remap is the most sensible first move engine-wise.

Coldcutt

I am learning already.

The style I need to sort out.
I dont like the completely stock version of my car.
Although when I wax it down on a sunny Saturday it looks sweet.

Who and what is recommended for brakes and suspension?
I havent looked into this side of it yet, so that will be a steep learning curve for me.

I am a mad PC freak tbh, as I own a online hardware store, but my other passion is bikes and cars.
Bikes are out the window now, missus not happy with the busy roads no more, so now I am full on with the scooby. Mate has a new M3, and I MUST punish him when setting off from the lights!!

I just need to know which companies are good and which ones to avoid when it comes to spending on my little motor.

I looked at scoobyclinic today, and they do look good, and I MUST get the colour coding done ASAP.

Are they a good company to deal with?
Any one got experience of them?
Particularly the colour coding?

I'll shut up now!

If you want some ideas for wheels and styling then check out this website.

My car is the first two pics 8 rows down. Gold wheels though I'm afraid (each to their own!)

Happy hunting.

Coldcutt

Sweet, now thats what I needed!!

See now your car looks well becos it has the kit colour coded, whereas I could have had mine with 17" Gold OZ's on it for £800 more.
But mine have black skirts still, I didnt like them against the black.

Yours does look very nice indeed, did you get yours colour coded locally mate?
It looks as tho they did a nice job!

Coldcutt

Oh, also quickly while I am at it...

Is it easy to fit a Boost gauge yourself?

I have never done it, but wouldnt mind having a go...
Just wondered if it is a simple job?

Heres a pic of my first Impreza



looked a lot better than standard. The wheels arent the best i know lol, so no comments! I sold the car before i got to the wheels (which were better than the 15inch brown things they replaced)

Dazza01

my scooby is in scoobyclinic at the mo, excellent people to do bus with, call and spk to Adam (Special X on here) or Kev (The gaffer on here), or take a trip down there, they don't bite and will show u round there premises.
Im having my sills colour coded, along with my morettes, mini scoop and rear lights, oh yes and my knock link fitted,

Coldcutt

How long do they normally keep your car for whilst doing the colour coding?

Just wondering how long I might be without it for.
I know you cant say for sure, thats down to them, just trying to get a guide for it.

I'll give them a call shortly tho, as I think I'll get this done ASAP.

scoobynutta555

from memory, they didnt have the car a long time, a few days?

Big pic sorry ........

Ive also had the springs done on it now so its a bit lower, but have no pics yet.
They are 18in PFF7's in Bright Flitter. Avaliable from Subaru.

Hope you like (if you don't, I don't care, cos I do )

MatteeGee

The colour coding was done at the factory. It's a MY99. I think from 99 onwards it was standard. I may be wrong.

The wheels are 18" OZ Prodrives which I've seen a fair bit on P1's. You can get them in anthracite if you prefer.... not cheap though!

Coldcutt

All I get is yahoo page not found mate...

gutter-rat

Coldcut,

It's odd. Me too now. But if you hit refresh, it seems to load the pic ?!?!?!
Any suggestions, anyone ?

whereabouts in south yorkshire are you from coldcutt? Just been over that way myself this afternoon, for a run along the snake and strines road
see if you can hook up with the south yorks scoobys, peccy, cheesy and co. They do lots of runs out, and the occasional trackday too!
Hope to see you out there soon m8, enjoy your scooby,
chris.

This is from another thread on here (thought I'd post a direct link to the piccy), but it's on the groupbuy rear spoiler one if you want to ask someone about them.

Think the wheels really suit a red classic and are very different from your bog standard silvers (unless you get some unqiue silver ones of course).

Graz

Hmmmm, don't think so

Coldcutt

Yeh me thinks so...

He has convertible, which is .2 slower on take off.
Only problem being, he has SMG box, so has a tad of an advantage over most manual gear changers.

Besides, with a few grand into a scooby, I can up the BHP.
A few grand for him buys him either a service or a new set of tyres! lol

Blueboy - That is a sweet scooby.
Talk about clean, looks as tho it never left the showroom!!

Coldcutt

Sorry, I missed one thing in that lot somewhere...

Is it easy to fit a Boost Gauge?

I have never done it, but would like to if I can do it without buggering anything up.
Is it simple enough?

Brun

Easy to fit a boost gauge
Couple of wires so it lights up with the lights and a tube plonked on the engine to feed the air to the gauge - in simple terms

BK238's 17inch if this is any help...
