H Wrx Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Picked up my new black STI Type UK yesterday from Forfar and landed right in the middle of a convoy of Scoobies heading North - guutted couldn't play as the car had only done 26 miles at the time ....d'oh! Assume the convoy was made up from members from here?? Certainly some nice looking and sounding cars! First impressions of the STI very good - certainly seems a load quicker and smoother than my 54 WRX - 6 speed box going to take a bit of getting used to though - lost count of the number of 6th to 3rd changes in the first few miles!! Also makes one hell of a judder when you start reversing - anyone else noticed that (it says it does in the manual - something to do with the central diff but it does feel odd)!
RA Dunk Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 what time was that at? it might have been us []
4Hero Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 6th to 3rd, I know how you feel, it does take a bit of getting used to.. I get a bit of a judder in 1st sometimes but net reverse. The gearbox/clutch is taking a bit of time to get the hang of compared to my 53 wrx.

What do you think of the tyres it comes fitted with?? - got a feeling they will be pricey to replace..Oh well!
RA Dunk Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Quote It was about 3 o'clock(ish) if it was just south of portlethen it was probably us then, we would have been almost back in portlethen by then, sorry ya couldent play as there was much fun to be had []

The tyres are amazing, went on the september run (2 days after picking mine up) and they are very grippy indeed [] A few people have said to watch what you are doing in the winter/ice/snow though.
euan_r Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 yes it was us indeedy. remeber the car well. a few of us just thought it was someone out for a saturday drive to the shops and came across us lot. lol

Anyone got any photo's from your run - saw a few getting taken??
RA Dunk Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 hmm i think craig got some, saw plenty flashing coming from his car, (not the other kind of flashing lol) should be some intresting pics lol []
craig mac Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 H Aye that was us m8 [] I think i have some pics of your motor too. Was there 2 madders at the front? One in a JDM sti, and another spitting flames? Oh and there was this other couple in a white WRX Type R? CraiG PS. Maybe just as well you could not play, as there were a few "slighty modified" Sti's[]
kloon Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Aye that was us alright, I was driving one of the DBM Turbos H, have to say yer motor looks sweet as a nut mate [y]

Probably right about playing but a 2.5 STI makes a good starting point to begin modding!!

kloon Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 "Other couple" ? [] I could see Wuz and Steve were getting along, but that's going a bit far is it not ? []
gogsie Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Oh you missed the flames - they were awesome. Wife seen them and said we need to get our car doing that. I was chuffed - I thought stage 2 here I come until I explained how much I would need to spend above what I have already spent since buying it. So needless to say I will have to wait til the new season, by then she will have forgotten how much I have spent.. Nice car BTW. Enjoy
