It's occurred to me the all Scoobs are soon to be pretty rare........ 1993 classics are now like 16 years old..... When do you think we'll all start talking about restoration rather then modifying ? My old boy used to own old MG's, Lotii Elans, Mini's, Scimitars etc and he basically restored them all and drove them as they ought to be driven. Question is :- When will we slide into the pipe and slippers phase and old be like auld badgers at an auto mobile club ? A concours competition, a picnic and them some pimms. OR will we still all be belting round KH and trying to get 2000 bhp out of these beauties. I ask this question as I am slowly modding but also doing a lot of preventative maintenance and replace dubious bumpers, re-spraying sections and rust proofing right now. It's basically future proofing. I notice guys like Arch spend a lot of time scrubbing and undersealing etc. Cheers Aristotle

An RS is white would be nice ( err.........with 4WD and a burble !) They are deeply impressive, look imposing and the evo journo's seem to love it ( brown envelopes to evo towers or the birth of a real weapon) Cal

Well worthy of a Megane RS v Focus RS debate :- Bloody good driving in here ! Anyone tempted by the RS or R26 ? Cal

bump ! keen to fit but car is just back from some nice mechanical and cosmetic work so I'd rather not go drilling unless I need to ! Pics to follow - have now spent waaaay too much money on the old gurl ! Life's too short

Very yellow, very fast but utterly alluring ! Been watching this thread from Paris on the iphone and have not got onto a keyboard until today - lovely motor Grant. I am hoping "she" will be deployed like the Japs intended her to be I NEED video footage though. So can you and Imy get yer derriere's down to the Clyde Tunnel and acquire some flash media ce soir When she's been seen by the Doctor F I look forward to seeing the fun pedal getting well & truely buried. This car /driver combo should be called FRUIT & NUT'ter Cal

Just noted that you have a Firestorm BB - it WILL be loud then ! You'd be better off getting a regular 3.5" H&S BB in this instance

It will be a tad louder but not too much more. You'll hear the turbo spooling more which is a very nice sound. My advice would be to fit the decat downpipe and if it's too loud tehn get a resonated centre section ( i.e preserve power via decat downpipe at the expense of noise loss)

Oh man that Hakosuka GTR sounds unreal ! How could we forget the Group B Audi's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEK7POxpVeE Turbo spool of the Type 25 Racecar Blitz Magic V8 powered E36

Forgot to add the joyous TVR's and decatted Tuscan

GT-R with aftermarket zorst GT3 RS with Sharkwekrs Exhaust V8 Caterham Levante RS4 with Milltek system Let's hear some more pipes please !! CGS

Always love these pics ! You must have a serious image library by now ! Anyone clocked the subtle decal above the Bruces Taxi Yellow Evo ? It's a shame it's a bit of a true statement in this instance Big fan of the mid-spin pics and anything involving flames ! Every thought about making some HD movies from your chosen vantage points ? Keep it RAW Cal

Folks, Looking for some simple help here......... Bought said flaps and they fit a treat at the front However, according t the instructions for the rear flaps they are affixed by 3 holes............looking @ my 1993 import I only have 2 holes. I am happy to do some drilling but wondered what others have done here ? Does the later classics have 3 holes for the bracket ? On the piccy below the flap at the top is for the front ( 2 holes for the black plugs) but the rear has 3 ...... It's the V2 ones I have bought ( http://www.performancecreations.co.uk/vers...hdnVersionID=26 ) I went for my own white smaller Prodrive stickers incidentally... Tried calling them but phone rings out Cheers Cal

As they say on the NASIOC forums ...... " do not like "

Equal Length headers Grunt ? Sounds like it on the video clip..........sounds absolutely sexual !

That is a special beastie Grunty ! Nae so sure about the alloys but it's part of the appeal. Sounds like it will go like smit of a shovel though..... I think I have the DVD somewhere if you want the original for nowt ? Can we expect to see the Bananamobile @ KH sometime soon Respect once again for the purchase ! Cal

I dont really care about todays game but it shows how dull and lacklustre the performances were that no one single person has posted since the OF game..... Peace reigns in Scottish Scoobies !

If someone finds that thread for me I'll give them eternal respect

Gotta respect the chappie for flingin' in a 20 G despite early ownership and warranty issues ! http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1699044 It's pretty to rare to hear of any new style STi to have radical mods like that Cal

What year is your classic ? Mine is an MY93 and has 4 bolts so my STi4 spoiler was a direct fit....... You'll find another two bolts under the black rubber dampers - use pliers to get them out. Remember to seal the gaps somehow otherwise you'll get water ingress which will corrode your boot Cal

I love his his advert says " NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE"..................how ironic ! Hope you get your dough.

Thumbs up for FancyPlates.Com too.........I hated the long ersed number plate on The Patriot so got L9 BPM on Ebay for only £99 ! Just fitted them tonight :- They'll cut ( neatly !) to any size you wish All legit but no BS Standards mark either - passed it's MOT with Weeb's funky ( Standard Ireland ? ) font too Cal p.s I also have an non-ironing board for the first time in 4 years of Scooby ownership - fitted this week but needs painting

Loving the new pipes -sha'mokin' !

Liking them a lot..........very nice alternative rather than the default PFF7's. They look very rally slag ! Tell me you intend to get a nice H&S back box though. That "boible" has to be released ! Cal

Not turbo charged but very rare and muchos track focussed ! http://www.fd2-owners.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=833 Darn pricey but mighty fine - may as well spend a few bob and get it supercharged ! CGS

Newcastle to IJMuiden is excellent.................enjoyable sail with good overnight sleep. Then a bit of Dutch scenery ( and the ferry terminal in IJmUiden is only 15 miles away from the Zandvoort race track)............after that it's MEGA autobahn time with loads of unrestricted quiet sections. Lots of sweet asphalt in the Eifel mountains after that. Hull to Zeebrugge means sloooow progress past Brussels. Guys I know who went this way were bored to tears with the traffic. Just my 2p worth CGS
