New Scoobie!

[thewelsho]

Picked up my new Scoobie yesterday - Oh Baby!

Do I really have to keep it to 4000 revs for the first 1000 miles??? Really Really?

Hope to get out and about at some events!

Later!

Don't rag the hell out of it for the first 1K whilst it's on the run-in oil. There's many schools of thought as to whether going over 4K should be done or not though.

Hi Alan

I got the 06 WRX with the STi spoiler. I tried putting some foties up, but it wouldn't work. I never got any really good ones anyway, too busy driving around! I'll take some more this week and hopefully get them up.

I have been going over the 4k rev mark, but not for long and certainly not red-lining it. Difficult to practice restraint with all that power at the right foot! I had a Celica 04 and the difference is night and day! I knew it woudl be faster, but i ever expected this!

The more I see of it the more it's growing on me. Wasn't convinced to start with.

[thewelsho]

My car in particular (Silver wheels, STi spolier!), or the 06 shape in general?

Sorry - I meant the 06 shape [:$]

[thewelsho]

Ha! You got me worried there!

When I look at pics of the older model, Iam pretty torn between the two. I guess it jsut takes time to get used to it.

nice looking car you have there.

hawk eye is growing on me.

[thewelsho]

Thanks!

Nice car indeed, but the interior pretty much sucks! Must be the cheapest grade plastics used for the switches and centre console - ach well, can't have it all, can we?

oobster said something about a Hawkeye as well, I'm now guessing that is the shape of the headlamps!
