well guys time to for me to move  on My 02  bugeye wrx goes on friday 18th August,had it for two years,spent a whole shedload of dosh on mods, rear spoiler, front sti8 scoop ,chipped, re,mapped  full magnex exhaust,turbo up pipe, dump valve k&n filter de catted ,colour coded side valances, morrette headlight conversion,etc etc

Have a whole heap of  original parts ALL FROM 02 BUGEYE WRX ,CD/RADIO.  FRONT SCOOP.  REAR LOW LEVEL SPOILER, FULL EXHAUST SYSTEM INCLUDING CATS  , HEADLIGHTS,   REAR LIGHTS, BRAND NEW WRX MATS(COST £85 SCOOBYWORLD,SUBARU BLUE,  DARK BLUE CONTRASTING STITCHING, RED WRX ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER MATS), SIDE MARKERS, Black mud flaps with aluminium fittimg kit (never fitted brand new)  brushed alluminium bezel for dash (never fitted brand new) ETC ETC anyone interested can have the lot for £150  a bargain.

my next ride is an 05 BMW M3 SMG (Estoril Blue),as much as i loved my scoob i,m looking forward to picking up my new car next week,any opinions on the Bm  figures quoted the car as 346BHP standard,had it out for test drive and it,s pretty quick . different power delivery from scoob,also paddle shift takes a bit of getting used to,

Nice cars the M3, a couple of leagues up from the Scoob in every area... although performance may feel a little toooooo smooth after a re-mapped WRX.

Watch yourself in the wet.... When they kick, they kick. [:D]

Cheers,

Good luck with the M3,

 

I had an 03 same spec and colour, the estoril blue is stunning. They are great cars even though they lack the cross country ability of an agile AWD turbo car. T/C control does a great job in the wet.

Tip 1. Launch control. Switch of T/C and press the sport button. Move the rocker button until the gear shift is in fastest  position. Press the small gear stick full forward. Press the accelerator fully to the floor (Will limit at 3500rpm by ecu) then at you leisure let the stick go, if its damp f***ing hold on tight and prepare your self for battle[8o|].

 

If its dry you will get a perfect racing start with minimal well spin and within a second or 2 you will be flipping the right hand paddle for second, third, Great fun. although your clutch may disagree! Try it once you must![6]

I have had a shot of my friends M3.  Real fun in the dry, but just dangerous in the wet.  Even with the traction control on!

Thats why I would not get one though....The Scooby is predictable in all conditions, while the M3, or any rear wheel drive is just dangerous if you push it in the wet!

I work for BMW and an E46 M3 with SMG is an awesome car, superquick and civilised if need be. Very few probs with them, although they are expensive to maintain.

Have a good time and if you get stuck with anything just shout.
