hi guys, i am new to scoobies, but NOT jap turbo cars.....had a fair few for my age, i'm 23, and have been driving 2.5yrs, and have owned
2x skyline r33 gts-t's,
pulsar gtiR,
300zx TT,
evo 2,
and the current scooby turbo uk.
not bad for a 23yr old huh? lol


anyway, my scooby, i swapped it for my evo 2, (i got more then just the scooby for it) and took me a long 200miles each way to get it lol.


it's a uk turbo estate, blue, it's lowered on spax, nice 17"s, front and rear splitters, side skirts, sti exhaust, pipercross air filter, BOV(not sure on make) tints, angel eyes, upper and lower spoilers, and overall i think it looks very nice.

here are a few pics that the last owner sent me.











thoughts and oppinions please.

welcome nice wagon, looks very tidy - I would check the VIN plate for the model number, that will tell you a lot about the car including engine type etc.

here's a web site for the imports, gives you a general idea of what the numbers mean:

Which Car is a WRX STi

nice car history, would be good to hear what you think of the scoob compared to the evo 2 ...

Crosstalk

It's got a <=96MY rear bumper (you can tell by the grooved indentation), but a 97MY+ front bonnet and grille, plus your seats look like the 97MY ones, so rear bumper might have been replaced or else it's had a whole facelift of front end and interior. That Sonic Blue colour was not available in UK at that time, nearest thing was the Mica Reddish Blue which came in with the 97MY. The side skirts, door mirrors and doorhandles would not have been colour coded from factory either, so your car is either an import or it's been resprayed.

i did wonder if it was an import tbh, because the fusbox and other such bits of writing under the bonnet have both jap and english writing.......would an english 1 not just have english writing????
