Scooby Sport tweaks - Stage 1
It didnt take long before I started fettling and making a few changes to the sport and it has only been a week !!
There is a lot to do on the car and whilst I have no set plan of what to do and when, I have just started on some areas that needed doing and some bit which cropped up.
This is one of the latter
My mate Paulo had some STi springs and 2 pot calipers/discs/pads left over from his Colin McRae 555 and was very kind to donate them to a worthy cause.
This is how it started out
Wheels off to see the knackered 1 pot sliders
Then with me expertly telling Paulo how to do it
, he set about swapping the old discs for the larger spec ones and calipers
I couldnt resist cleaning every part that came off even though I was described as a tart
. All washed and painted even though you wont see them
On
And finally how the car looks now with the change in ride height
Oh and the eagle eye readers will notice the Sport decals have gone as well, I have to thank my good lady for that. She set to on the front wing decals and the ones on the back.

I'd forgotten just how much room there was between the caliper & wheel before we started! I knew the new brakes looked better (the single pots were knackered) but I'd not really noticed the difference in the clearance.

Also managed to give the car it's first clean on the outside, clean of the wheels. Nothing major to report as the light was bad and it was only a start before I give it a proper 2 day clean with paintwork correction

Yes and it will look even better by the end of next weekend
Yes, it came like that but will be easily sorted by sourcing a new bumper, hopefully one in the same colour

looks good, my first scooby was a sport - most of the changes were cosmetic but I loved it and cherished it for 4 years until someone drove into the side of me and wrote it off

Just bought one of those bumpers in that paintcode, from Doncaster Motor Spares, now known as MotorHog.
Paid £85 for it, it came with foglights, (sold for £56) wedges and clear indicators. So the bumper cost me £29
Give them a try, it's web-based, you search a part, they e-mail you a price.

It kind of got forced on me as the rear hubs are breaking up and making a droning noise so took the opportunity to source some rear discs, calipers, pads, hubs with abs sensors, arb and mounting points with the rear trailing arms.
