Default New member from Belfast saying Hi

Joined up a couple of months ago and have been lurking in the background but just thought I'd say hi from Northern Ireland. Bought my 2004 Impreza WRX back at the end of November. It's WR Blue with genuine 18" ProDrive's, Apex suspension, and Scorpion exhaust on it. Will get some pics up soon but plans are to change the exhaust system on it (or at least cat-back), panel filter and remap, Whiteline ARB, strut braces front and rear, change the colour of the rims and just enjoy scooby ownership

Business. I'm training the motorsport rescue crews at Kirkistown.

The weather's pretty crap over here too.

Ah nice one! Haven't been to Kirky in years!! Pretty small track but not bad. Might have to keep an eye out for a "Run What You Brung" type track day there this summer

Hi Gary, I too am a new Scooby owner from Antrim. Glad to see a neighbour on here!

I left my new baby in with Michael White at OMA Mallusk yesterday, really nice bloke and his Legacy he had on the ramp is stunning 800bhp and a 9 and a bit redline! Might be worth giving him a call if you need any work done, he seems to know his stuff. Mine is just in for a health check and some other bits and bobs.

Health to drive her!

Thanks guys! Good to know I'm not the only one on here. I tried to register with Scooby Irl a while back but my account was never activated, never received any activation emails either so I just left it. Will get some pics taken after I've given it a proper clean, nearly impossible to keep clean at the moment

Welcome along GaryH.

Scoobyireland you'll find is pretty dead anyway, not a lot seems to happen on there now.
I myself am no longer an Impreza owner, I sold up and shifted marques last summer.
Had been with Subaru for 15 years, but kind of fed up with the brand now and more so the attitude of Subaru UK.

Michael White does indeed know his stuff, Ali Burrows is another.
What do you boys all drive anyway?

Yeah I got that impression. What do you drive now then?

I drive a WR Blue 2004 WRX, took a while to find a clean example that wasn't hanging out it's a**e, some dogs about!! Happy enough with my purchase, this is my first Subaru tbh, some mods planned but nothing major. Would like to get it up around 260ish bhp which should be easy enough
