Hi All

I am absolutely delighted to be able to show you the first pics of the new scoobysport A8 suspension kit for the Impreza.



These are the final development versions and not the actual final production units, but I don't think a lot will change now so this should give you a pretty good idea.

More information to follow soon, and if you're going to the Autosport show, be sure to check them out.

All the best

Simon

Look v. nice.

Are there other nice new shiny products hiding on your web site without a clicky link to them? (apologies if I'm being dense and missing something from the home page) I seem to remember talk about a very interesting sounding TMIC coming "around Christmas" . . . . .

Hi hades

thanks

The TMIC, and the active diff controllers have taken a back seat in order to get these finished, but they are still coming.

Hi Simon

Where do we find you at the Show ?

Stand Number ?

I'm there tomorrow with a hectic schedule but it would be rude not to have a look

Look out for Nitron's stand, which is very close to prodrive aparently. We don't have our own stand.

Cheers

Simon

Phil

I'll look out for you


SIDC was going to have a stand then we saw the cost

Found them

Adam M

they looks very impressive, been waiting a long time.

Cost ?

Simon are these something you have specced Nitron/Guy to produce or are they the "std" Nitron Impreza damper but sold exclusively through you?

Not a dig, a serious question.

FWIW, when we were looking at dampers for the Westie, the only ones we thought were better were Eibach (not the cheap road kits, the proper race ones) and Penske.

I'd say Nitron are more than a match for anything by any other company imo. quality of them is superb

Estimates - please don't hold me to it - of retail are £1500 for single adjustable plus £500 for 3 way.

Craig. They are specified by ScoobySport, and produced solely for ScoobySport and developed in conjunction with scoobysport. Spring arrangement, rates, and damping characteristics are 100% scoobysport, some of the construction methods such as swivel connectors for hoses, and the very clever clevice deisgn are 100% Nitron.

Deal with Nitron is that they can produce the system for other car makes once the scoobysport system is launched for subaru

Cheers

Cheers Simon,

But the ones shown above are adjustable and have what appear to be adjustable top mounts and remote bottles. How much for those, retail, including VAT ? Ballpark will do.

Cheers

Ian, just like simon has stated the picture above is the 3 way adjustable unit (£2000 ish), the single unit (without the remote bottle) is roughly £1500.

Cheers,

Rob.

IWatkins

Rob,

Er, Simon didn't actually state that the picture above, i.e. the A8's, *was* the 3 way adjustables, but thanks for clarifying.

Cheers

Ian

Rob D

Ian, sorry my post didn't quite come out right , I was refering to Simon prices, however I'm assuming from what he has said the above picture is the 3 way units.

Simon can u confirm?

igratton

Good choice Simon, Nitron are very very good dampers.

Phil

Well they look good in the flesh too

But despite several visits back still didn't manage to find you Simon

Andy Walsh introduced me to the guy you have been working with so I didn't leave dissapointed

ex-webby

Thanks for the comments

Ian, yes the picture above is the three way

Again, please don't hold me to the prices, they are ball park.

Cheers

Simon

IWatkins

Thanks Simon,

Yes, I understand ball park.

Cheers

Ian

Adam M

if simon, was there, I doubt very much you could miss him!

Phil

LOL

Actually to quote John Felstead when I meet him yesterday I said I was looking for Simon he did say he was a "big fellow" and I wouldn't miss him

Chelspeed

Nitron are sharing a stand with Emerald, stand 10401. In the main door (Hall 9) then walk between Lifeline and Alcon and they're just in front of you, technically in hall 10. Prodrive aren't there this year.

I have a set of Nitron on my Caterham and they're the bizz. Guy's a top bloke too.

Is there a discount available if I try them out first as an independant? If they work on the 'Ring then they'll pretty much work anywhere IMO...

johnfelstead

i think i said Simon looks about your size Phil. Bizzare how we parked almost next to each other and arived at the same time after not being able to bump into each other at all last year.

There is a good discusion going on at 22B about these too in the chassis section.

OK Phil give us a laugh, how much would it have cost to have a stand.

Phil

For a half decent stand i.e. not put away on the corner you were looking at least £5k

Just had a Nitron fitted to my Kawasaki ZX-7R. It's a very well made piece of kit, and has transformed the bike.

Not as well known as Ohlins etc yet, but I'm sure that it is only a matter of time.

Ouch

CraigH

That's the only problem with Nitrons. Quality is superb, the units are excellent, they're easily a match for Ohlins, the just don't have the market awareness or image yet....

I certainly wouldn't swap ours for anything bar Penske or Eibach race units.
