Hello guys,

Looks like a lively forum!

I have just purchased a WRX STi on an 03 plate in black. Should be getting it in the next 10 days! Can not wait.

I had a Civic Type R, lots of fun, but just not enough grunt for my liking hence the change.

Here she is - http://www.mad-als.com/temp/scooby.jpg

So, hello to one and all.

 

good man .....welcome to the club and be prepared to have your wallet emptied on a regular basis.....

 

hey mate welcome and nice motor!

 

Hiya Pants

Berkshire, eh? Whereabouts?

Welcome to the madhouse ......... I suppose number 1 cost would be to get some proper Silver Wheels?

Pete

 

or black

 

Nah, just imagine what some loverly CHROME wheels would look like against the black?!

FANTASTIC!

Pete

 

Hello pants

Keep the gold wheels. Mr PSlewis thinks gold wheels are gay.
Whats your first mod planned?

Ray

 

Welcome - And be prepared to be very poor.... Optimax. PFF7s. PPP. Prodrive suspension. Track days....

 

with spinners .........lol

 

Looks sweet mate - and thats SGT's if I'm not mistaken where I bought mine from before xmas

Gotta get it PPP'd mate

Enjoy !

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

I live in Wokingham btw.

Huuum, a few references to preparing to have your wallet emptied! Is this because it is impossible to resist changing and modding, or because the cars need lots of money spending on them with services etc.

I know it is not going to be a cheap car to run around in, but are these unreliable or something that they need lots of work doing on them?

I will PPP one day in the future, but for now I think I will leave it all alone, including the wheels, I like them!

That is SGT, are they good for servicing, they seem nice enough people. I have the Bulldog near me, but I keep hearing bad things about them so I am not sure if I should go there.

 

Hi Pants (never thought i'd ever type that!)

Welcome and enjoy.

Oh and take mr Lewis's with a (large) pinch of salt, he has an odd wheel fetish and may othe problem inherent with the onset of old age

 

Only used SGT's for the first service so far and to get PPP added to my WRX but I've been very impressed with them so far. Very nice friendly bunch there and seem genuinly interested and willing to help. I wasn't very keen on Bulldog either when I was buying the car - didn't seem to be very switched on at all..

Re the cash it's a combination of always having the temptation to upgrade bits and bobs plus the propensity to consume large amounts of optimax which tends to empty peoples wallets at an alarming rate

 

Hi Pants. Wellcome
The wallett emptying is all to do with Mr Doo's drink problem. Likes to drink Optimax in copious quantitys, at regular intervals.
Its all good fun, you can get on first name terms with the garage staff, and possibly be invited to their christmas doo. LOL

its a rule that newbies post pictures of them self getting the scooby spank! from their misses or you spanking your misses

 

LMAO!! So I guess these cars are not that economical then? What do you get out of a tank and how much does that cost to fill up?

This is a Subaru forum isn't it? I did not mix this up with thehun.com (not work safe) did I? LOL

Mate, I am single as of 5 months ago! So no more spankings for me, I can give you a photo of a self scooby spanking if you like, but I am not sure you would appreciate that.......

 

about 170 miles to the tank I should think ......but please god dont let everyone start posting up how many miles they get from a tank its soo tedious

 

Sorry mate, I do not think it is a case of me letting or not letting people do that.

I just wondered what the rough figure was! I do not want a full listing of everyones mileage.

****!!!! 170 and how much does that cost to fill up? Is it a small tank?

I knew these were juicy, but shiiiit!

Mind you still cheaper than me running my CTR and R1!

 

cost about £38 to fill up so not the biggest tank in the world.

 

...............Poppycock ............................I once got 230 out o my ole sti....

 

get back to muppets crazy fool

 

.........................I did.!!.....

 

there should be a fence or something to stop you lot getting in here....

 

welcome mr P! in just down the road in crowthorne/ let me know if u wana go 4 spin or to some meets.

 

asking a serious question ....do you think its a bit max power / Mc Donaalds car park type thing meeting up for a spin or going to meets? I have been to a couple and find them so very very boring. Wandering round a car park hoping someone will ask you about your car or saying NICE CAR to others. 30 Mins is my limit for that sort of thing.

 

Oddly enough I switched from SGT to Bulldog and have no complaints. Graham is very enthusiastic and they did my 20k service OK. They also return calls when they are too busy to answer immediately.

Did I miss something ?

 

 

Mr P.

I can confirm that SGT are very good. They've always been very helpful whenever I've used them (particularly when I had a problem with my PPP).

It is a bit far for you to go though.

Anyway - nice car - welcome!



P.S. Dont forget to wave at other Scoob drivers (but not non-turbos )

 

Thanks for the welcome French Boy.


UKSTi, can I ask why you switched?

I have heard from a couple of people that they are not very helpful, however, from your comments I may try them one day and see. I would rather use Bulldog because they are just down the road from me.
