He had a lot of money and when looking through the history of the car you can see their was no expense spared when doing this car up.

He told me he loved doing project cars- buying standard motors and making them awesome. I went to see quite a few scoobies and most of them looked tired or things just didnt add up...little like the hondas you can tell a lot about them by little insignificant things like worn seats etc... I found this one and immediately fell in love with it! When i saw the mods it got me very excited! Here is the list as best as i can remember (as im at work n havent got service folder! lol!)

Large surface area Front mounted intercooler (black- really suits car)
Uprated fuel injectors (Sti OEM parts)
Full HKS exhaust system from Cat
Fully forged engine re-build 4 years ago - forged psitons, con rods, shells, bearings and crank
Uprated clutch (heavy duty - not sure make etc)
Uprated prodrive seats
Sti body kit (fron and rear bumper inc hks front splitter + srear sti high spoiler)
modified headlamp - unfortunately there isnt another one that comes with it...but ebay sell them all the time around £30 it just hasnt bothered me to change it. But it would need to be switched come MOT time.

Full re-map on TD04 turbo by David O'Brien and Pat Holborn at API engines to 1.2 bar boost making 265bhp.. I had a long discussion with David (owner) at API and he explained safe boost for any every day subaru is 1.2 boost regardless of turbo. Whilst on dyno he was very impressed on how this car had been put together, they said that the car had a lot more to give and found 260bhp easily! He said the only thing holding the car back was the small standard turbo. The guy who owned it before had taken the large turbo off and reduced power because his wife used to use the car before he sold it. Dont know how much you know about subaru but the TD04 turbo is a fast spooling turbo that doesnt have much turbo lag...the issues with the TD04 design is that it doesnt have much power after 5500rpm it kind of plateu's out..hence why you see so many scooby owners dropping TD05/06 and VF34/35 turbo's on their wrx's!! Which pushes them into 300-400 bhp...

This car used to run 320bhp and there is an old dyno sheet to prove. I understand you want to do mods yourself but the thing about subaru's is the mods are never ending...You can easily lose £10k in a standard scooby from scratch...This car has already had round 7-8k spent on her! The best thing about this car is its all ready for big boost...if thats what you want. It has all the engine set up ready for a bigger turbo and re-map. (depending on boost maybe a different clutch). The issues you get with a lot of scoobies is that they are modded by guys who cut corners! They just shove a great big turbo on wrx's and re-map them without changing engine internals and if you ask any subaru specialist garage they will tell you this and its an easy way to blow an engine.
