"Scooby Eater" .... methinks the scooby in that vid was pretty much standard spec tbh. So long as you're only gonna take one on at a quarter mile run and they haven't had much more than exhaust n air filter done then yeah maybe ..... play with one that's had some work done on it or have a go on track / twisties n you're gonna eating gravel or hedges in the civic though!

nice spec but i'd still take a scooby any day ..... apart from anything else they sound soooooo much better! - can't beat a boxer-burble!

So what its got 327bhp and run a 13.3 standing quarter....its still a horrible looking car that looks like my mums old Rover.

Theres a guy in Bournemouth here who's Civic coupe runs 550bhp now that would upset a few scoobys if he could get the power down.

thats a prety big IF in a FWD car, less of a a car, more a tyre shredder

waste of time having that much power with no way to get proper traction
