Geoff,I spotted you on Monday , I guess you had just visited the nursery at Mayland . I was turning into the nursery road as you were coming out (I was in a bright blue Audi , Scoob stayed at home ), I'd just fought my way round B&Q for the second time this weekend ! Next time you're around the nursery pop down for a chat as I live down that road . Oh and did I spot the RB5's up for sale ?

Dave

 

Dave,

Yes that was me, always wondred where you lived in Mayland. Shall pop down next time, funnily enough, saw another scoob whilst I was down there, you may have seen it to its the multi coloured pearlesent one.

Yep the RB5 is for sale. Few things coming along that require an estate car. Arrival of an 8 week old Golden Retriver being one, and fartherhood looming in November being the other. Really want to stick with Impreza, and have a wagon, but wonder if a Legacy may be a better bet, the 3.0 Quad cam jobby perhaps.

Take care

Geoff.

 

'Golden Retriver' ? prepare to have your furniture chewed , Our lab's 4 now so he's grown up a bit now hence the other car I was in Monday is an estate . I would have thought you should be able to get everything into an Impreza wagon (baby stuff included ), and with a little PPP magic lots of fun too .

Dave

 

Dave,

I agree whole heartedly with you regards the wagon. The wife however is not so sure.

I will keep working on her!!!!!

Thankfully the dog does not appear to have discovered the deilights of chewing furniture as yet, although I am sure it will not take him long!!!!

Geoff

 

i just moved from mayland! didnt think anyone else with a scoob lived there! in chelmsford now, recently bought a 95 sti v-ltd, and i love it!

 

does the infamous tiny not live in mayland?? surely u wouldnt have missed him!


steve

 

yeah and theres a few others in Maylan im sure may not be on here though have seen 2 classic turbos around Mayland and also a Sport

 

Oi Wez just suddenely rememeber Paul Burguss told me you had just got a STi Classic so im guessing this is the same Wez then. This is James Freeman btw Pauls mate.

James

 

ahhhh, james. how you doing? is the same wez yeah. you still a bit mental?

dont tell me you've got a scoob at your age, thought i was young!

 

No i havent got a scoob just left college = no money for any car my mate on here Nevetas has one and im at most meets with him so hence the reason im on the board. No not as mental as when i was 12 years old and you used to beat me up on the school bus lol The good old days

Im doing great thanks you? you should pop along to the Southend meets they are a good laugh mate

James

 

make me out to sound like a bully! fail to mention trying to blind me with a laser pen..!

whens the next southend meet then? will come down, heard there was rather alot at the last one....

hows emma, she doing ok?

 

LOL yeah shes fine

Well the Southend ones are the first Saturday of the month and there are loads of meets most weekends specially down south, check out the Southern meets forum.

Enough about our childhood Hows the scoob anyway ?

James

 

LoL, friendreunited DOT com

Yes he's still PURE MENTAL, and now has shotguns to play with

 

emma.....

anyway....back to scoobs

yeah mines great, really pleased. so quick, bit of a jump from the saxo! gonna speak to ray, see if he'll colour code the skirts + i wanna get a new front splitter and high spoiler (sti 5 styleee)

assume i just missed the southend then, oh well, next time!

will take you for a spin if your about. was checking the south meets but couldnt really find any, maybe i'm just dum


wez

 

Halfway House (A127) 13/5/04

Dick Turpin ??? anyone ???

Southend 5/6/04

Poser's on Tour '04' Part 2 Brighton Seafront 26/6/04

Yeah ray colour coded Pauls car for him and yeah and Definalty needs a STi5 Spoiler on there and a P1 style splitter yummy
You going to do many engine mods ?

James

 

shootguns eh, think i'll avoid him then! lol!

gonna speak to ray, i know he did it for paul but dont want him to do it for me as he feels he has to, i know he enjoys tinkering in the garage though!

Looks good as it is but with no splitter, black skirts, low'(ish) spoiler looks a bit dated compared to newer models. not sure about the engine, gonna take it somewhere like extreme scoobies to give an overal check, i know its been de-cated (well legal!) , daaaaaam wide straight through exaust, blitz dump valve, nothing too extreme. dam quick, but already want more power

no ABS or traction control is fun with 280bhp to

gonna make sure she's running reliably before i start tweaking, plus i want to be able to see whats going on, ie boost gauge, a/f gauge, knocklink.

this is all if i dont lose my licence fist!

not that i drive beyond the sped limit of course

 

Yeah get a set of Defi gauges



Also get re-map to run on uk fuel if it has'nt already been done or just use octane booster

Then take me for a spin and i will pass my judgement

Also can your change the fronts easily so they look like the later classics ?


James

 

yah, i need to get in contact with power engineering, to see if the remaps been done. dealer reckons it has and the power engineering paper work says use SUL, no mention of booster, but wanna be sure!

them gauges are nice, want a pillar mount but would prob go for just 2 pods.

how cheap/easy is the facelift then, prob could afford a STi 5 after all these mods!

 

Best to chuck in some octane booster until you're sure I reckon

Dave

 

yeah, i know. like a money pit these cars....worth it though

 

what colour is it in mate ? Any pictures ?
