What are your best tips for happy scoob ownership? Here's my go

1. Use Optimax
2. Be careful how you close the bonnet on the 2001MY+ 'cos they're ally
3. Clean any bird **** off the paint straight away or else it will get marked.

ok here goes

1) Always start your car with the clutch depressed
2) Always allow the engine to warm up, at least 15 mins
before going over 3000rpm
3) Always allow the car to cool down after a hard run
2-3mins of off boost driving by 30-60 secs idle should do it
4) Always use a good quality oil + genuine filter
5) Always have fun

 

1. Always lock your doors.
2. Don't stop if approached by blokes in balaclavas.
3. Keep a baseball bat by the seat, in case the opportunity to play your favourite sport arises....
4. Fit a tracker.
5. Always tell relatives of your whereabouts....

 

1. smile at other scooby owners - lots of fun
2. keep your alloys clean at all times
3. anything less than a 7mm layer of wax is just unacceptable
4. stop once in a while and take a look around - you're lucky

 

drive ti don't pollish it!!!!

yeah i washe my car to find three bird shi* marks on my roof it has clear marked it and it was from when my car was in the garage for three weeks. damn it!!! what can i do??

 

1.Ask boss for pay rise as car drinks lots of petrol
2.Ask boss for pay rise as new found power eats tyres
3.Get yourself a personal nurse as brake performance may cause heart failure.

 

Who was it? Not mine, but worth repeating:

"Keep it shiny side up"

 

1....Enjoy it
2....Slow down for GATSO'S
3....Go to a Cheshire Cruise in it,and realise how lucky you are
4....Dont adjust the length of your actuator rod 2hrs=no gains
5....Dont race Saxo's with L.A.D written on them
6....Got to get a Graham Goode backbox
7....Learn how to speak tacktfully to the filth
8....Dont think your better than everyone else

 

1. Never go in a faster car than yours, as you'll always be wanting more power.
2. Don't try to keep up with the Jones's with their new STi7's.
3. No matter how much faster others seem to go on track, don't try to be a hero and keep up, go at your own pace.
4. Don't tune the non STi's to the hilt, get an STi instead
5. Don't listen to a word that pslewis says

F

 

Why dont you race Saxos with L.A.D on them, are they quicker ?

 

Quicker is a relative term - buy an STi

 

1.take the window tint off(wrx import)
2.have as much fun as you can when driving it
3.DO NOT let the other half drive you scooby
4.dont race police cars
5.change your timing belt before the due time
6.dont use modil 1 0-40
7.dont get car jacked,fight back

 

Stick petrol in
Drive
........and repeat

 

Don't post in threads where you have to provide lists......

 

do not remove the tinted back windows on a type R

modify it and use it

 

My ten pence worth
1/ Ignore P Lewis attempts to put you off gold wheels
2/ Ignore P lewis attempts to say the new model is ugly
3/ Ignore P Lewis, he might go away
4/ Have fun in your Turbo's and WRX's
5/ Try a Forester S Turbo at some point in your life

Best wishes to all.....Blutes

 

L.A.D tuned saxos are good for about 170bhp so will have a similar/better power to weight than a scoob.

 

Maybe young gun, but can they handle the bends in the wet like a Subaru. My Forester gives those Saxo boys a real shock I can tell you....No offence intended, but try the Audi BBS or Citroen(do they do one?)...Blutes

 

drive until it gives you diahorrea.
preferably by the side of the road. aiiee

 

The impreza can handle corners well

Power out of them!

 

Don't take your foot off the gas if you understeer

 

my gf didn't wash the bird crap of her car and it's made a mouldy stain! rusted into it!

 

Saxo site is saxosportsclub.co.uk and there are some people on there with 200bhp VTS's which would murder a standard scooby over a 1/4 mile. They would probably be useless in the wet though cause it's difficult enough to get the power down in a standard VTS with only 130bhp!

 

Never run a standard exhaust!!

 

...or standard headlights

 

Never run, the Scooby is faster than your legs

 

Take it offroad (as I did last night) - what japes!

 

James.thx for the understeer advise. Got me into a slide 3 days after purchase of my MY98. totally buckled a wheel. could have been worse. Lesson learnt.....'don't lift of if understeering!'
I think the PZero's had something to do with it.

Never race an Evo.....you WILL loose !
