Looking good Rich Did I ever mention i've driven that car ? (only about 20 times)

Maybe, but at least we sing stuff relevant to fitba

Seems pets are a popular theme on this thread, so here's my dug, Kyle, a 2 year old Sheltie.

Never realised there was so many reds on here COYR

1. If your sidelights won't switch off look for the parking light switch on top of the steering column . 2.Use the search function on the forum before asking the same old question . 3. The best first mod for an impreza is the exhaust (backbox at least) 4. Buy a classic 5. Make sure you get regular quality oil / filter changes every 3 - 4000 miles 6. Always run the car on good quality fuel - V Power/BP Ultimate/Tesco 99 and add octane booster for safety in an unremapped import 7. Avoid "chip"ing an impreza - get it remapped by an expert like AndyForrest (Apexi for classics, ECUtek for newage) 8. Sell the Newage and buy a Classic 9. Always wait till the engine is nice and warm before giving it full pelt and let it cool down befrore switching it off 10. Upgrade your brakes before modding the engine 11. A VTA dumpvalve isnt really a good idea unless your car is getting remapped to compensate for it. It will momentarily make your car run rich as the ecu gives fuel for air which has been dumped and not recirculated. All you are missing is the gay noise. 12. Solid rear droplinks and a decent suspension geometry set-up are probably one of the best sub-£100 modifications you can do to a standard car. 13. new ages will undertseer when at the limit 14. If you have a classic get Strutt Braces. The improvement is outstanding! If you have a new age...no luck! loL! 15. Clean out the boost solenoid once in a while and dont fill engine oil right up to max. 16. Go to the SIDC track days at knockhill, you get free tuition from an instructor if you want (plus ensure you wear Cat boots far better that way!!!!) 17. Love every minute of driving and owning it (it will make handing over the credit card much easier 18. Goto meets/Knockhill/Crail and tell us who you are?We don't bite sometimes 20. Join the SIDC and you'll get discounts on insurance and dealer supplied parts in addition to track days. 19. For some obscure reason there is a lot of mention of goats & homosexuals in here. Do NOT let this put you off our forums. 99% of our members are "normal" but we are all fans of The Hoff. 20. Always prefill the oil filter when doing an oil change 21. Dont believe everything you read on the forums. 22. Send off for a Shell card 23. What ever BHP you get, you will never be happy 24. BLUE is the best colour. 25. Is your car standard? - leave it that way. 26. Watch out for the Impreza's "lift-off" oversteer. It's wicked, particularly on a wet Knockhill! 27. wave to other scoob drivers 28. never buy a set of lexus rear lights[+o(] 29. sidc love some photography of your beloved 30. dont sell your scoob you will regret it and will end up with another 1 31. The best place to hang out on saturday nights is at OSIDC 32. Modding is for MEN 33. Going JDM is for winners..........leave the chocolate UK's to the Willy Wonka lovers! 34.^^Andy speaks the truth, JDM is the way forward!! 35. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid and don't mod what doesn't need modding (dump valves etc) 36. NEVER let the other half known how much youve spent on the car.she will be jelious! 37. Dont go to Halfords for your servicing parts - they are more likely to give you filters for a lada or skoda. 38. the bright button really does just make the clock brighter 39. Never believe anything read on Ebay 40. Never buy a impreza when you get 10 spare ST2 (spaceman) 41. CLASSIC ARE The GREATEST IMPREZA BUILT. 42. Try not run your impreza top end as the boxes dont last long(went through 3 last time) 43. Believe the petrol gauge - yes it does use that much! 44. if you have mudflaps watch when reversing near kirbs or they get caught on wheels and bye bye back bumper 45. Your steering wheel lock isn't broken, you're supposed to have to turn it 180 degrees before it engages. 46. Boost solenoid 'chatter' isn't necessarily indicative of a fault (although the Scoob moguls say it can be eradicated the by above-mentioned cleaning). 47. Uneven tyre wear is common. 48. 10 miles use out of a set of newage shocks isn't unheard of - but if you're still under warranty, they're covered. 49. The rear proximity alarm (on newer Imprezas) tells blatant lies in the rain. 50. Door panels dent quite easily. 51. It's won't stop entertaining you on twisty roads! 52. Never use the standard horn in an aggressive manner in a road rage situation, you will just look silly!! 53. You will find that Classic owners are really insecure: they talk about how good their cars are over their Newage counterparts. They be fooling themsleves but they soon realise not to listen to what TheWelsho has to say 54. Welsho knows as much about cars as Fish know about Riding Bicycles ! 55. you will find most newage owners have a huge chip on there shoulders because A) they have lost 3/4 of the value of there cars through depreciation over two years B.) they weigh a bloody ton C) they are almost all are blue with gold wheels D) they are jelous of there classic brothers who continually spank them round knockhill 56. Try not to hold your foot to the floor and do 140mph + for mile after mile, they dont like this and tend to go POP, Take it up have a play and bring it down again. 57. If water/coolant pissed out of the front bumper at the passenger side, then you have more than likely over filled your coolant (overflow pipe) and not burst a pipe. 58. You will find that Classic owners who have bought Newage quickly revert to classic's as they find out VERY quickly just how good the classics are compared to floaty newage boats 59. If in absolute doubt, ask the question. someone will know! 60. If you intend to mod your scooby to anything over 400bhp, you'd better off starting with a newage STI.Atleast you'll never need to replace the gearbox unless you are pure brutal. 61. Don't post Ken Block's Gymkhana vid. 62. Forget all this "Classics are this, New Ages are that" rubbish. ALL Scoobs are feckin ace

How about this one ? http://www.plush-toy.co.uk/acatalog/Scooby...L_Soft_Toy.html

These guys are only 2 mins from the Harbour, i'm sure they'd be able to help you out: Aberdeen Autobody & Mechanical Repairs Poynernook Rd Aberdeen, AB11 5QX 01224 588500‎

Very sad news indeed RIP Dougie.

Get well soon Dougie, here's to a full and swift recovery.

Aye Mark, those be mine, got them round about September last year. You go for for the 18inch variety as well ?

I've seen those wheels before somewehere Great choice Mark, they look lovely on black Scoobs

Looking good Gordon, just what i'm after next Is that the HT Autos one ?

Must be the season for it. Amazing the difference such a wee mod can make, now for the splitter and foglight covers.

Merry Christmas every one

Glad to hear your OK Di, as has been said, cars can be replaced, people on the other hand . . . . Everyone over at Aberdeen Scoobies sends their best wishes. Ari.

Thains ? pah, awa and bile yer heid min

Rowies from a baker in Nairn ? Scandalous !!!

Yup made it Stracathro ok, to be stung for V-Power to the tune of £1.27.9p a litre Only stuck in a tenner so went and filled up back in the 'Deen today at a full FOURTEEN pence a litre cheaper, how do they get away with charging so much down there ?!?! Cheers again, that Fiesta on the trailer we was behind was the most rallying action I seen all day

Excellent stuff Grant, you deserve a knighthood for all the sterling work you've done sir. Surprised you declined to mention any of this while we were all in Craigvinean though . . . . . PS I WILL make up for the lack of "rowies" yesterday.

Shame not all of us were there in time to witness this event Scoobykev, was that yourself who led us up through to Coupar Angus (Black WRX and a Green Passat) ? If so thanks a lot mate, was much appreciated

This maybe sounds a bit daft (i've got my tin hat and flame suit on lol) but is there no way, seeing as it's the 1st anniversary of the deaths, it could be awarded posthumously to Colin, Johnny, Ben & Graeme and displayed somewhere as a memorial for the duration of 2009 ?

Would seem there's more than a hint of truth to this rumour . . . .

Right got it now, feck me what a farting aboot !

AL where does that table come from where the emissions for a WRX are 242g/km ? All the ones i've seen are 219 for a WRX and that's also whats on my V5 which I assume is what the DVLA will go by. Confusing stuff this !

Seems a bit unfair if it's a '52 plate, however I think your right in thinking it because of the date of registration in the UK ? I've a '53 Plate WRX SL and this is what mine comes out at: Subaru Impreza Saloon (00-05) 2.0 WRX AWD Turbo SL 4d Rates effective from 13 March 2008 Date of Registration - 1 Jan 2003 – 1 May 2005 6 Months - £115.50 12 Months - £210.00 Band - F CO2 (g/km) - 219 Rates effective from April 2009 Date of Registration - 1 Jan 2003 – 1 May 2005 6 Months - £165.00 12 Months - £300.00 Band - K CO2 (g/km) - 219 Rates effective from April 2010 Date of Registration - 1 Jan 2003 – 1 May 2005 6 Months - £170.50 12 Months - £310.00 Band - K CO2 (g/km) - 219
