Tuning Scene
Currently working on a project for college on the UK's tuning scene at the moment I researched on http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk website to look at marquees I personally like such as Skylines, Impreza and Evos. When you compare rough numbers it is saying Evos have approx 5k cars on the UK roads, Skylines there are 2000 and Impreza 25k. I then looked at a typical UK model such as Ford Focus ST/RS and their numbers were 42k. I thought R35 GTR industry was huge but that site says there is 1000x(ish) cars registered on the UK roads surely that cant be right.
What tuning scene or car marque do you think is booming the best in the UK at the moment?
Is the Impreza tuning scene dead or flourishing?

Aye what's the point of tuning when the eBay ad claims it already has 450bhp?

Plus with all imported parts getting the governments own added on as well, things are just expensive.

I paid £1600 on a Mk2 Golf 1.3 60bhp 4 speed 13 years ago! Still didnt stop me getting my old man out in the snow to fit GTI bumpers and lowering springs with me
There is such 'privileged' thought patterns on modifying cars these days, especially on Scoobynet. One lad on here the other week was having a go himself, ok, so he made a few changes that made his car look like a bit of a dogs dinner, but he got slated by some instead of encouraged and steered in the right direction - with things he could do on the cheap.
Seems that once you have pound notes in your pocket, you forget the times of doing everything on a shoe string budget, making a few mistakes and enjoying it! My first Golf had Neons ffs and i LOVED them, but then my next Golf ended up wining best in class awards at shows, because the Dub scene, back then was nice, friendly and all about having a go..not just getting the cheque book out like these days.
