blitzwrx Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 hi everyone another newbie hear thought i should join up just got my first scooby so thought i would share it with you all i have had it for a few weeks now and the modding bug has already started with the addition of some front and rear struts (thanks to gus the bus) and a VERY VERY loud blitz nur-spec exhaust i really like the car but i does need more power which will come in the future i would have had a sti but insurance is a bit of a prob as im under 25 anyway hear are a few pics of the beast and a couple of my last car that i traded in as the finance was too much on a new 300bhp modded focus st. cheers colin and a couple sf the st
scouk Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Welcome to the SIDC colin!! Nice looking car there! very clean! Good job! How does the impreza compare to the focus? I know a guy who changed a Electric ORange Focus ST for the Impreza and he confesses tha the impreza is a much more drivable animal... A lot cheaper on fuel as well apparently! (Not sure I believe the 2nd part)
blitzwrx Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 the focus is a very quick car and feels alot faster than the impreza also it is really easy and comfortable to drive even in standard form. the fuel part is false the st was much much better than the impreza i still cant belive how much more the scoob uses. but the st i had was also a animal to drive as it was modded from the standard 225bhp to 300bhp and also had around 350 tourqe so was full of wheel spin and tourqe steer but dont get me wrong i love the scoob and i feel it is much more of a drivers car and im sure with a bit of cash and modding the impreza can be just as fast or faster...

Nice cars, both of them. I have to be hoenst and say that I the the looks of that ST more though, great looking car. My mate had an ST. After he got that I felt the need to get behind the wheel of soemthing faster than what I was currently driving. I can't say for definate, but I'm pretty sure your Scoob will handle power-upgrades better than your ST. You will find a lot less torque-steer and wheel spin if any, as you'd have to be really givin' it some to do that. Welcome along! By the way, what mods did you need to get your ST up to 300BHP?
stubaroo Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Alrighty Colin, I delivered your strut braces m8. Still not seen your motor in the flesh but it sure looks good in the photos. Anyway welcome to SIDC there are loads of people on here that will give you good advise on releasing the full potential of the Scooby. Got question, not sure about something, just ask. By the way the guys and galls from Fife meet up on the 1st Thursday of each month if your interested in meeting other owners, look in the events threads. Stu.
blitzwrx Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 yeah big thanks to stu aswell cheers mate. as far as mods on the st it was lowered one off hand cut satin stripes and wheels to match, lowered on eibachs, power mods were k+n cais induction,magnes 3"turbo down pipe,100cell sports cat and full 3" system, up-rated I/C and a dreamscience pro re-map running the newer ds mod-b tune. but as a result of these mods there wasnt much more you can do to them without spending mega cash and at that there is no piont as the front wheels cant handle it anyway even with a lsd fitted (which is what the new rs should have) there is a limit.
marky.t.s Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 hi and welcome mate,nice scoob........focus looks better though!!
colzo Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Hello and welcome mate. I also like the Focus ST but I'm sure you will enjoy your Impreza mate. From another Colin
boris b Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Morning and welcome mate. Nice scoob you have there..
