This Could Get Espensive :(

[tiny gsy]

While parking the scoob at work on thursday lunchtime, It tried to die on me and then developed a rattle

Until then it hadn`t been driven for a week as I`ve got a little runaround now that I bought for £100 and the only reason I`d taken it to work was to get it weighed so that I could register it locally. Unfortunately I didn`t even get it weighed. At the moment its sat down at my gran`s house in the corner. Now all I`ve got to do is decide whats next. I am tempted to sell it, and to that effect I`ve emailed www.japperformanceparts.co.uk to see how much they`d give me for it. At the moment that is only one option though. Another option is to rebuild the 2.0 litre thats in it at the moment but with uprated internals as I believe that if I wanted to rally it I would need it to be 2.0. The third option is to go for a 2.5 litre which although I wouldn`t be able to rally it, it should give it enough power and torque to hillclimb it instead which I`d be happy enough with for now at least. Either way I can see that neither of these routes is going to be cheap I`ve got a turbo waiting for me as well at Aj`s.

Any ideas?

I hope you dont sell her & manage the rebuild mate as I know this is the scoob you have wanted for a long while.

Fingers crossed.

im trying to persuede him to do the rebuild Steve.

Althought the 2.5 option is a good one it still means a lot of work. His best bet is perhaps send the whole sacr away and have the work done the fly over and collect. Id love to be able to help him more but i have mine to do.

Tiny helping out so i can teach him basics of scooby engine.

Tiny, if you gonna hillclimb it you will need a cage. No doubt about it. Its a modified car so they wont let you run without one. You can still sprint it but you wont be eligeble for any records... that wat i hope to do.

nice one mike

is the "showboat" class a definate go then? what are the regs for it?

[tiny gsy]

Don`t worry mate I know it`ll need a cage and buckets among other things. Its just a possible/likely future for it if I decide to keep it. Have been into Bluchip today and they`re going to let me know approximate costs on a rebuild as another alternative

I just wanna get it rebuilt and run in before playing....
