I parked near the afore mentioned car while I had lunch I was in Dark Blue Uk turbo. U waved as you drove off. Just wondering if read this.

Very nice looking motor!

nigel s

twas I, saw you eating lunch, are you Melksham based ?.

Derek M

Well I work In Melksham but live in Chippenham

Have I seen you around chippenham also?

nigel s

possible, although there is another UK300 around that I have seen in Chippenham & Devizes, I think he maybe based at Lynham.

Derek M

I have seen one similar but not sure if its UK300 or not.

You from Melksham?

You running any mods?

SimonH

There is another UK300 that I know of and he is at Lyneham.

Not me I hasten to add

Derek, I work and live in Melksham, don't normally use the scoob for work but as it was birthday over the weekend had to go and spend 7 quid on cream cakes. Mods so far are PPP, quickshift, Prodrive Eibach springs with geometery setup @ Powerstation, big brakes and uprated philips bulbs, think thats about it. :d
What about your-self?.
There seams to be more scoobs around this area in the last few months.

I got Downpipe and SS Back box at the moment. I am quite happy with that at the moment but may go for full decat soon. Quite like the idea of nice back fires and burbles etc on over run.

How long you have the UK300 and did you have a scooby before it?

nigel s

Derek,Had the car since last July,
What Decat are think about?, have been think about this myself, the new age cars are heavly restricted with 3 cats as standard so maybe a S/Sport visit coming up.

Derek M

Not too sure only need the centre section and I think SS centre section is a bit dear for a bite of pipe.
Considered scoobymania,s centre section. I dont think the make of centre section is going to make alot of diference as there is nothing too high tech about a bite of stainless pipe.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

nigel s

Did you have the downpipe fitted or was it on the car when purchased?. If fitted by yourself why scoobysport?. I would have thought one brand of downpipe when compaired to another was a more of a important choice than mid section. Different companies probably have different ways of tube bending and air flow design. Also depends on noise levels generated at steedy crusing speeds. Have you looked at the TSL systems? They seam quite highly rated on here.

I bought the downpipe off a mate not sure what make it is. but it has a standard neck i.e same as one on the cat. So only thing from scooby sport is the back box. I decided to go for that because had heard good reports of the sound and had also heard it for my self on a friend of mines car.
There are probably better downs pipes about i.e. oval neck and twin dump but i got mine dirt cheap and it is certainly better than having a cat and it only cost me 30 quid to get it fitted at the Avonside garage in Melksham.
It sounds good and get nice turbo spool up noise, and it pulls away in first from a standstill alot better i.e smoother with less throttle needed, just makes it a bit easier to drive and off course pulls better between 6 + 7000 rpm.
