I sold my sti v5 type r about 5 months ago before that i had a 93 wrx and bought a 750bhp supra as a fun car and a escort van as a getting to work car and the van was handy for fishing and playing golf. as fast as the supra is(and trust me it is very fast) i miss the day to day performance of a scooby.The supra has a hks triple plate clutch and is a nightmere to pull away you ever stall or leave big strips of rubber up the road and if it even looks like its going to rain dont even think about driving it.(it lights the wheels up in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th in the dry)Mark at abby drove it just before i bought it and he said it is an animal

plus the fact that i havent had the thing for over 3 months as i had a bit of an off in it before christmas and have been waiting for 2 new blitz wheels to come from japan then the day before i was due to pick it up the garage was taking it to have the wheels aligned and a transit van hit it so it could be another 2 months before its back on the road. so now i am pulling my hair out at the thort of another 2 months of driving around the slowest van ever made so im thinking of selling it and buying a sti version 1 or 2 5 door wagon and useing that as my every day car. plus then i can say ive got 1000bhp of cars outside. Iwas just wondering who has sold there scooby only to buy another within a few months

 

Sold my classic scooby for a Audi TT and missed it like mad, I ended up selling it 2 months after owning it and bought another scooby.

 

I don't know what it is about the classic scooby but it's certainly infectious.

Let's face it, it's not the best looking car in the world and the standard interior is w*nk, but you just can't stop loving it.

It certainly still has a presence on the road and I still believe it's respected
as a high performance car.

I LOVE UM

im getting excited about it altho a sti will be quite hard to find had a look on autotrader not alot about and dont want a wrx as they only 220ps and i am not looking to do any tuning so i would rather have more power as standerd. I think its the handerling i miss the most if i tryed to throw the supra in to a bend at 80 like i could the type r chances are i wont come out the other side

 

I'm in the process of trying to sell my MY 06 STi JDM (See for sale general) and I don't think i'm going to miss it. Only had it 4 months from new !!!

 

Newage cars don't have the same character IMO !

My sides hurt...........

 

Just thought!................The blob eye is a bit silly,but the Blobeye is surperb! Not the hideous 06 Hawkeye(or ****eye!)! with the terrible 2.5 engine the japs dont want......... and prodrive can't tune without blowing it up! LOL

Carry on............

 

WTF does that mean? And I don't mean the spelling. Did you mean to say that the bugeye is silly and the blobeye is superb?

 

Keep laughing boy - you know it's true !!

hi mate,

Had my scooby 4months been broke 2months spent loads on it it break every day but i love it :P

 

When i see nice examples of classics i still wish i had mine, but then i'll catch a reflection in a window of what i'm driving, or when i leave a car park, can't help but turn around to lOOk at it.
