Just got my Scooby Back from having Body and Paint jobs done.. Very Pleased with the outcome... Need to get some Clear Front Indicators Now

Yep... Emails are best... That`s how I got in touch and got booked in earlier this month..

Oh Yesss..... That`s The Way I`m Looking To Go.... That`s A Stunning Version 1... They Are So Rare In Red Early Type-RA`s do look good without the frills. This Is Mine As She Is Right Now, She`s No Rust, So A Good Starting Block

Aye, Just had a looksee at it... Yep, it`s a very nice one indeed.. Version 1 Type-RA`s are getting few and far between now, so a good clean one is always special to see But I`m thinking of taking mine back to the no side skirts, no boot spoiler look of how they originally left Subaru

I always go to Norlins @ Dales Ind Est Peterhead He`s done work on my previous cars and always does a good job and reasonable price...

Well, my car is under way for getting a her new lease of life... Was down at Andy Forrest on Monday having a much needed Re-Map - All Good, 100% better performance and drivability now Now booked in for some body work jobs 27th June... Having My front bumper`s crack repaired and re-sprayed, also having my Number Plate Moulded into the drivers side fog lamp area. (I have no fog lamps anyway), got a fog lamp cover for the other side which is being re-sprayed too... I do have a wee choice to think about...... I have new STi Corner Spats for the skirts.. Do I Have them sprayed and fitted, or do I go for a bodykit strip.... Side skirts off, My High level boot spoiler taken off, then have the holes filled, smoothed and become spoilerless and skirtless..... I Kinda fancy the idea of taking my Type-RA Back to it`s roots of how she should originally have looked...... As it`s a Version 1 Type-RA and a very Rare Red One, I`m thinking this is the way to go.... Then, it`s a few wee jobs ready for her MOT in September

I didn`t have a Dyno Run, so, new BHP is not known... But I have Dyno Print of the car when it was on the old Map, boost was 0.85bar... And it was 300.3bhp........... But the car just wasn`t running good back then... Mapping on it was very questionable I did find out I don`t have the Turbo I thought it had... Which is a good thing, as I`d hate to advertise her for sale and sound like I`m telling Porkies... The guy I bought it from said he thought it was an TD05 18g or maybe 20g.. But turns out it`s a TD05 16g.... I`m not too upset about that though... She pulls well with it.. My new Map, with the low boost setting which is now 0.95bar, Andy I think says I should be on a healthy 330bhp.. And My Higher setting is 1.2bar.... But for me, today wasn`t about getting bigger BHP.. It was getting the car to behave the best it could..... Which Andy has definatly succeeded with... I will be having her on the rollers once I`ve finished a few more jobs. She`s having a wee touch up in the paint department... Also thinking of stripping her back down to Original (No side skirts, no boot spoiler etc)... Also a few jobs before her MOT in September... At least I know my car is healthy... No scary problems hiding away..... Which for 18 year old thumper ain`t bad...

Just back from my trip down to Andy Forrest for my Mapping Session. My Red 1993 Version 1 Type-RA I have an Apexi Power FC and an Apexi AVCr... Andy found out straight away that the Map on my car wasn`t doing the car any justice and was wrong. I kind of thought that anyway, cos the car had never driven like I expected it should. So, he set about getting rid of that and giving me a new custom Map This had been my first time with taking one of my Scooby`s for Mapping and it was very interesting. I was chuffed that no scary nasty suprises were lurking in my set up.... Apart from Needing My spark plugs changed, or the Gap checked on them. I have a higher boost setting on my AVCr, but I`ve to sort the Spark Plug Issue before using it. But to be honest, my lower boost setting is so responsive and snappy I`m over the moon with it..... It really was like driving a totally different car home.. So, Thanks Again Andy for giving my 18 year Girl a new lease of life....

Everytime I`m thinking of Selling the Impreza I have at the time, I always say....... "Right, that`s my last one... Audi A4 TDi Next"... But I keep going back and getting another Scooby.. I`m on Scooby Number 5 now.. LoL....But when I sell this one in Sept..."It`s my last one and I`m getting an Audi A4 TDi" Which means I`ll be on Scooby Number 6 in October ... LoL I`ve always Fancied a Type-R.. So good luck in fiinding yourself a Cracking one Joe..

Never been a true fan of the Blob... But that`s not to say I dislike them altogether. But, aye, This is a nice one.... A Very nice one... Alot of time and money gone into it and a very quality looking car as an outcome. The rear spoiler, Hmmm.... Very Marmite.. You`ll either love it or hate it I guess. The Price... £17,500.... Once a car has money thrown at it and it`s no longer possible to compare and price it against a similar aged car, it`s totally down to a buyer, if he likes and wants it enough, then they will part with cash.... Would I part with £17,500? I wish I had that sort of money.. LoL. For that money, I Think I`d prefer an Litchfield Type 25

I`ve read somewhere (I think it was on andyforrestperformance.co.uk) that sometimes The CEL will blink when knock is detected Yep, it was on Andy Forrest`s Page... Here`s the link to it http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/16253.html Read the section below the photo... Hope this helps

Yep, definatly looking forward to the drive home afterwards. I`ve never taken a car for a mapping session before, so really looking forward to see what goes on... Just hope my car doesn`t give any nasty suprises

Yeahyyy!!! That's my car booked in for a mapping session with Andy Forrest on 6th June. Getting my Apexi FC re-mapped and my AVCr set up properly. Even though it's my 5th Scooby, it's the first I've ever taken for mapping It's been re-mapped previously by the garage that fitted it`s upgrades, last dyno was 300.3bhp So hoping to squeeze more and have her running much better. Very reasonable price too. Was pleasantly suprised.

LoL... I`m a light sleeper.... PLUS I sleep nude... AND I have no problem in running straight out the door wearing just a baseball bat.... They will have 3 things to think of... Either I`m wanting a game of rounders.... Or, I`m gonna shag them, Or they can just get the **** away from my car before an angry nude t**t of a man with a baseball bat hits them all for a home run..
