Question what on a scooby DOESN'T need modifying?
most of us seem to spunk a fair few quid on our cars and like many i've bought my fair share of old **** that makes no difference to the car whatsoever.

so what std equipment DOESN'T need changing?

from my own personal experience :-

the seats (my99)

dump valve.

i hear oil coolers are a waste of time on most scoobs aswell?

any others in your experiences?

I'm more than happy with the standard indicator switch, although the wiper switch could do with changing for one with variable intermittent

I'm not happy with my windscreen...especially after I've seen "quickclear" heated versions for sale

I'm really struggling thinking of something I wouldn't want to change on the car...IMO everything could be made better

My old UK cars didn't, so I'm guessing it's ANOTHER point UK cars get shafted on.

The only bit of a Subaru that doesn't require modification, is the roof lining, and even that is debatable!

Older WRX's don't get them. I had a Lexus IS200 bfore my WRX and loads of people commented on how basic the WRX was and kept asking if I miss the luxury and I can say honestly that I don't, but I do miss variable intermittent wipers

ive narrowed it down to the chassis that doesnt need modifiying, but that is only because it is far too much work to reshell

Petrol cap.

Can I claim a prize?

(I was about to point out that some people need 2 oil coolers, but the person in question rather beat me to it )
