No mention of miles, miles since rebuild, or service history, would also be asking what it was imported as, what condition as there is a rating for this.

Also who rebuilt it and what was done.

It looks very nice, just need to confirm a few things

playtime

iTrader: (1)

full s/h is a must for me as for the red one it,s mica red they are rare the car was maintained by duncan at hypertech they were the one who done the engine rebuild also check for the usual rust etc,

LEUVEN

I know I would'nt buy this one as he seems to think that a BaileyS dump valve and two oil changes are enough to give it an extra 80+ BHP.


Unless you're tracking the car then even if it was 120 it wouldn't be a problem would it?

If I didn't do much motorway driving then I'd prefer quicker acceleration every time you put your foot down instead of a top speed most people don't get to use.

BLACK V5

Wrx and ra are group 20 as well. AFAIK nearly all imports are group 20.

coll_52

iTrader: (1)

nope insurance company said my insurance group for 2001 wrx is 17 and have checked with parkers and it also says group 17

coll_52

iTrader: (1)

sorry mines is a 2000

coll_52

iTrader: (1)

problem is i like to have the top end there incase some bugger in a 900 pound vectra gsi trys to shaft me on the motorway so yes afraid it would be a problem for me

BLACK V5

Uk cars are 17. Imports are 20. Parkers wouldn`t have the groups for jdm cars in there.

scooblee

Ive just bought a 99 uk turbo, 80k, blue mica, full dealer history, engine rebuilt by subaru 25k ago, gearbox too, new brakes, cambelt and tyres, full dealer cream leather and aircon, spotless car, 3 owners, £3200, nice ones are out there but harder to find.

LEUVEN

Serious? thats why you want "the top end"

The Zohan

Scoob is not really about top end, likely to max out at 140 and not for long due to turbulence around the intercooler/bonnet scoop and the engine going pop.

Scoob is more about acceleration and good confidence inspiring handling with the power to make it an entertaining drive.

If you want something to match a vectra gsi on top end then i suggest you get a vectra gsi or similar

coll_52

iTrader: (1)

yes top out at 140 a crappy 1.6 can hit 120 i really dont need to be told to go buy a vectra gsi or lectured on what scoobys are for if thats what i want out of a car why question it i personaly dont like the ra version tops out at 120 no carpets elecy windows thats my prefrence i wanted a uk car as its group 17 insurance ave been on this site less than a week and am already geting snidy posts tell you what am just gonna go to another forum ave no time for crap like this

I would think really hard about buying this one, the guy doesnt even know which oil to put in and must never look in the handbook (you cannot miss the HUGE warning about running a 5w30 oil in a classic), its one of the main causes of engine failures, especially if you rag em

Let me have a look around for you

Low miles, virtually standard

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1791529.htm

Higher miles but looks ok, not sure if part sh or not.
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1773246.htm

Pics would be nice on this one....
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1960657.htm

Also a bit newer
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1902339.htm

White is rare, shame it only has part sh but just had £800 quid spent on a service and 1 owner from new (that alone may be worth looking at)

I look forward to your inevitable "done for 120+ on motorway
what are my chances?", or "engine gone bang, how much for a rebuild?" post.

Good advice, freely given - ignore it at your cost.

The Zohan

Perhaps you should now pick your toys up and put them back on your pram.

Hardy a snide post at all (spot the smilies) , wind your neck in a bit, you come on here asking for advice, you got some. If you are worried about vectra GSI's and top speed then fit a K&N and a superchip to the 1.6 whatever and i am sure it will be an easy match!

Enjoy SN and try not to take offence so easily

LEUVEN

You do know it's not me who wants the Scoob to race Vectra's ?
