I saw you at the traffic lights near Maridian TV studios 4pm. Scooby looks good with the P1 front end.

hi colin, sorry didn't see you i must be blind not seeing a big purple scoob!

well with the p1 lip i'm more individual so thanks for posting here, well impressed that i was spotted!

I wasn't in the Scoob as it is off the road with a blown gearbox, thats why you didn't see me.

yeah, read about that, 3rd gear on a hill?? did it drive back?? what were you in?? got a gearbox??

colin c

I was in a green Micra which I had bought for a run about just before the gearbox problems. I was able to drive home minus 3rd gear. Not worried about the gearbox at the moment, going to decide what to go for over the next few weeks, maybe an STI RA box and diffs, dont know yet though.

So Colin, any mods planned for the Micra then?

colin c

Chris I have found a HKS turbo kit that takes the Micra upto 65 bhp.

Cool - but can the chassis handle those dizzy heights of power?

colin c

Possibly not, might have to fit a set of KW coilovers like Paul and Len have got and also a set of AP 6 pots to tame the power going through the front 155/13 tyres.

Have had the Micra for over 2 weeks and it came with 1/2 tank of fuel and is still on 1/4, if that were my Scooby that would of been the best part of £40s worth of Optimax out of the exhaust. And also £221 fully comp insurance before the turbo is on.

As it's such a nice sunny day I might take the Scooby for a blast, still got 1st, 2nd and reverse at the moment so might aswell make the most of it.

Colin.
