marko72 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 What do you have planned for your scoob for 2012? Im thinking of a few cosmetic tweeks, brakes, and planning on trying to keep her as nice and shiny as I can. Machine polish time I think. Nothing too brave or extreme so far. What about you?
rig-pig Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 pinks and a bigger turbo then more suspension mods
scouk Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) New speakers & possibly head-unit Boost & Oil Pressure gauges Gearbox Oil change Rear anti-roll bar Replace all roll bar bushes with polybushes Anti-Lift kit Give it a damn good polish since it never got one last year See how much rust there is behind rear bumper Hopefully get back onto the remapping stuff again, not been back to it for couple years. Edited January 1, 2012 by ScoUK
davey l wrx Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 New speakers are top of the list, new brakes - already sat in the garage waiting to be fitted along with the DiPol gearbox lock for extra security. Possibly some whiteline goodies as well, anti-lift kit, roll bars, etc.. Already got the machine polisher waiting to be used...
plodster Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Upgraded suspension by the sounds of it.... Upgrade speakers Catch tank Anti-lift kit Straight centre pipe (decat if I can) Mesh lower grille Improve cold feed to the short ram intake Kevlar pads Oh and a wedding
wrx kenny Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 5 speed ppg or sti 6 speed not sure which way to go yet. kenny
Scooby Dooney Doo Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Uk300 boot lid and prodrive spoiler + a few more cosmetic parts, I'm happy with its performance for now so just going to enjoy it for how it was intended
scooby222 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 finally get round to fixing the brake vibration and depending on how much that costs..... Replace all roll bar bushes with polybushes rear anti roll bar drop links carbon diffuser silicon hoses and thatl do nicely - definitely not 1000cc injectors,z32 maf,avcr and a remap.....
marko72 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Plenty of tasty mods to be getting on with for folks, nice. I forgot whiteline front droplinks Edited January 1, 2012 by marko72
davey l wrx Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 oh just remembered about the carbon scoop i have in the garage to go on.... Might be a test fit and see if i like it... Could get expensive if i do cos i'll just end up buying more of the lovely weave
jd Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 hopefully a full cage and swirl pot setup. competing in a charity hill climb in June which is for road going cars, thinking I will be bitten by the bug again.
marko72 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 Maybe an air freshener for me There ye go Matty
monsterenergy Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Only last week I thought about suspension mods and maybe a forged upgrade and stuff for the Hatch - but now hope I'll modify my hatch into a new car via trade in Still undecided what make or model, but it's between 3... I'm already excited!
scouk Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 modding a 1 just seems wrong.... spend more, then lose more lol Modifying Limited Editions is just wrong in my book.. You own it because it's special.. Modifying it so it's unique to, you looses it origonal identity.. YOu can achieve the uniqueness with a standard model, why destroy a Special Edition.. <flame suit on>
scooby222 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 go for the PPG kit Kenny you know you want to
motormee Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 tackle the rust bubbles on my rear arches side spats and pi splitter re-spray my 17" OZ superleggras (however you spell them lol)
fmj Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Having completed my epic suspension upgrade (every sinlge nut, bolt, bush and component) last year. I am now waiting for a carbon fibre STI 6 spoiler for my classic to replace the GRP version which has cracked paint and rusty water dripping out of it from shitty cheap screws used inside where it fills with water.... I do find myself constantly spending money replacing things that ought not to need replacing! The next plan is a big brake kit and then a semi clossed deck forged bottom end with a bigger turbo, braded fuel lines and 740 injectors. P.s. ref the rust if its anything like mine you need to look right up inside the arch where the strut is mounted to the chassis. You will probably find the outer side is completely made of rust causing water to get inside the arch and run down behind the outer arch pannel cuasing more rust there. Edited January 3, 2012 by FMJ
Vimmy Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I have a second hand intake manifold (with throttle body/iacv/pcv valve still attached) to clean up/paint and rip apart to work on a parallel fuel rail mod as well as get ready to fit a set of Carl Davey manifld spacers. Possibly to look at a port n'polish of the manifold too, time and wife permitting...
Ovv Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I had planned a set of BC Coilovers, exhaust and remap but looks like my only mod will be a change to a diesel car, how boring.
p555uls Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) 2012 im looking for carbon fibre grille,another air filter(just to see if i can make more noise )clutch and lightened flywheel,maybe some 19's so i can get the prodrive 18's refurbed,and was thinking of another remap with antilag,that should keep me happy the 4 times a year im home to actually drive it lol Edited January 3, 2012 by p555uls
smiffy852 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Got a milltek cat back and a scorpion de cat on its way then eventually upgrade the brakes to EBC discs & pads. Girlfriend probably won't let me get anything else lol.
Scooby Dooney Doo Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I have already started, ordered satin black vinyl wrap for my roof and gloss black wrap for the misses car roof, just hope I can do a good job now :s
motormee Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks for the tip FMJ. I was supposed to do it this year but ran out of money and good weather.
davey l wrx Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 The Hawk is in for an oil change and MOT, new brakes to be fitted and the DiPol security lock. Asked for a quote for Whiteline antiroll bars, anti lift kit and adjustable top mounts... could get expensive soon!
