New Scooby Co Owner
Hi all
I have been building and racing Cosworth or Cosworth powered cars since 1989 and my wife has always hankered over a Scooby.
So after having various sports and performance cars over the last 7 years she finally got her car a week ago. I bought her a 03 WRX STi PPP in black with gold flecks in the paint. She is over the moon with the car and I am pretty impressed with it aswell, having had various 4x4 Cosworths.
I will stick to my Cosworth but will be driving her car aswell of course. I hope to get a few technical tips as this is all new to me.

Best of both worlds mate. I, like a lot of the owners of Scoobynet, grew up hankering after a decent Cossy!
In fact, my first scoob experience (standard UK Turbo) with a Sapphire Cos taught me some humility. Several days into ownership I thought I was king of the road! Not so - a full loaded Sapphire with five blokes up buzzed all over the back of my scoob before I conceded ungratiously - it then spat a few flames and disappeared like the SS Enterprise going into warp drive.
