Picture of the very beast in question.

Morning all, I recently have acquired an 07 2.5 sti ppp. I had my old magenx system from the turbo back swapped onto the car. It consists of decatted down pipes centre section and back box etc. I have been warned that the dash may light because of the emmission control function on the 2.5. What is the easy solution to stop it lighting up if it detects there is no cat or am i best just forking out for a sports cat? or is it easier to had it and some hard earned cash over to Mr AF for mapping to resolve? can anyone experience share? im a bit wary of the 2.5 as its the first ive had, ive always had 2.0's and they have been bomb proof but have heard alot of chat that the 2.5 are a tad more fragile. I ran the magnex on an 05 wrx ppp and never had any issues nor light come on in the 2 years i had the car. Any feedback welcome. Cheers John

Cheers for the info Gus much appreciated

Thanks mate, i thought that, i just wanted to check with others. im thinking of trading the blobby in for a hawkeye and was honest and said there were no cats on her. now i can bargain to keep my full magnex system and ask if they will swap they systems over as the hawk has a prodrive system. I knew i should have kept the old one but thats what happens when you need funds for other projects!!! Cheers John

Quick question for the exhaust boffins......... are the systems from the turbo back on the hawkeyes the same as the later blobeyes ie will be a straight swap over for the down pipe, centre section and rear box............or at the very least the down pipe section??? Thanking you in advance for your help, cheers John

Please take the time to read this post.............. During 2010 Keyline Builders Merchants who I work for as a Branch Manager are supporting the Prostate Cancer Charity. In this time Keyline want to raise £50,000 and to help in this effort we will be driving from London to Monte Carlo and back in 96 hours in a team of 20 cars with 2 support vehicles. The added twist for us is that we will be travelling from Inveraray on the West coast of Scotland meaning that in under 6 days we will be driving 2600 miles between a team of 2 drivers. As a Husband and Wife team in a Subaru travelling from the furthest away destination to take part in Keyline's challenge, we are seeking your support by making pledges and helping to raise awareness. Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in the UK yet few of us are aware of it. My Wife lost her father to cancer less than 2 years ago, and we really want to do our bit to support a cancer charity as its close to our hearts. One man dies every hour from Prostate Cancer. The Prostate Cancer Charity aim to fund research, give support and information, and campaign to improve the lives of men with Prostate Cancer. We want to help raise awareness and funds in their crusade in any way that we can. We were delighted to be a small part of the McRae Gathering helping to raise £53000 as participants and now its our chance to to help raise another £50000 for a worthy cause, please help us and show your support.

I the range rovers........brother in law has a very nice dolphin grey sport withe plenty of overfinch detailing, its a bit of a beast of a thing but its well nice and would do the job. is that a wee sign from you the scoob may be goin??? or is a fl2 an addition as you'll keep the scoob for the weekends??

My wife has been nagging for a while now about getting a sensible "family car" as the future plans are for kids......... but my better half knows i will not part with my blobeye and i definately not part with the series mcrae she knows me well!!!!!! we will be parting with her fiesta zetec sport.We have been looking at audi a4 s-lines saloons and estates and recently 5 series bmw's eg the 520d's etc.has anyone had any of these models or in your opinion which are the better cars not really sure myself as i quite like them all..........i didnt win the scooby's got 4 doors family saloon and a boot argument!!!!

good job there mate looking good!!

Nice catalunya

This wrapping may be the new big in thing in the modding scene...............or it seem's very popular with rs4 owners, saw this one at knockhill today looked pretty good too

I thought I was doing really well today I manged 146 miles for just over half a tank to knockhill!!! NO PAIN NO GAIN who cares about the cash I like to burn mine on fuel, others like to pi*s it up a wall at the weekend, others on holidays, but i'll tell you something none of the other cash costing activities put a grin on yer face like driving a scooby..........you'll regret it if you sell it bud

First attempt at loading pics here goes...........this is my old gx wagon it was a minter when I sold it

lol part of the 2 scoobs club!!! another here!! unfortunately as you know the gx wagon went to a new home and was replaced by series mcrae #61!!! i do miss my wagon....trying to find some pics of her the now to post

my nephew draws better looking cars. the hatch is growing on me but i dont think this will............but then again performance wise whats under the outside will probably be worth waiting for an make up for the looks or lack of.

silver on the rims ties them in nicely to the body, will look the part when you get it lowered and the skirts colour coded nice wheels quite like them

£250-£500 mate but im sure someone out there will give you good money for it, ebays a waste of time for trying to sell plates better off going through a company or selling it to them direct
