Strange seem to have seen a few good looking ugly bugs lately and i normally don't like silver cars either but thats v nice.

Haha indeed i was mate, i'll let u off for no chasing me seeing as ur box is knackered. If you get a box from thompsons they sould take it back if it doesn't fit. I thought they were all 4 bolts but the guys in there r pretty good and someone should know for sure. Motor looks good btw, my first scoob was a blue W reg wagon and thats what got me started

I'm heading up for the afternoon session with autoecosse as i'm working in the morning, got an hour slot booked for a measely £20 want to see how different my classic is compared to my old blobeye sti.

Thought u were rebuilding yours ? Have u tried S & I Thompsons ? Don't see what will be different if its from around the same age and spec and ratios are the same ? Steve

U going to knockhill on sat ? Looks like i managed to get an hour session after the sidc day so i'll be taking it for a hurl then.

Cannae beat the smell o v power in the morning !!

Still got it and its for sale. Have to make sure its bolted on well though as its that bloody light it might take off If i can pry the keys out the missus hand i might get you out 1 night

The boots despoilered and holes filled but still needs painted but leaving it til i do the whole car. Thanks for all the comments, i just want to try and be a bit different and not as obvious but the clues are there if you know what to look for in the rear view mirror ! Not sure about the whole matt black idea but certainley not ruling it out as i hate polishing !!!

Try running it without the filter to see if it starts would confirm if thats the problem. Don't have a walbro but fitted my upgraded one with the original filter filter as it sat better in the tank. Steve

Its a jun splitter i think, came with the car. Andy rckons it should be around 370/380 bhp but not had it on the rollers but i believe him as its feckin quick

Like i said it was just an idea and it needs another coat as its reacted a bit with some of the stonechip putty but whatever colour its gonna stay scoopless and spoilerless as sleeper look is where i'm at.

None taken i realise there's many folk who can't understand a scoob without a spoiler etc but each to their own. I personally hate all the wanna be rally cars stickered to the hilt and just wanted to try something different.

I've been working @ a garage doing some holiday cover the last couple o weeks so had a chance to do a bit to the scoob Holes in the boot welded up and filled, bonnet changed and sprayed matt black 2 see how it looks ?!, front grill changed to match the lights and new bonnet as well as changing pads for DS2500's and a well deserved oil change Did most of it myself including the welding and some of the spraying (not the bonnet) and was pleasantley surprised as i've never tackled them before and managed not 2 feck it up ! Still planning a full respray later in the year so thought the black bonnet was worth a shot as its easy enough to change if i didn't like it but i think its kinda cool

I have a 95 STi with full decat 2.5" standard headers , apexi air intake, fmic, 20g, ecutex ecu,300zx maf, 97 map sensor, NGK PFR7B plugs, uprated fuel pump, 550cc injectors. Cars still running strong but im going to be giving it a freshen up and was thinking of future upgrades and was wondering if a 2.5 would be the way to go rather the a forged re build ? What else would be required apart from the standard block ? Any idea of costs involved ? Where best to source an engine ? I would carry out fitting myself as i'm working @ a garage now and then so have access to everything i'd need. Steve

I changed my pump not so long ago and split the old one as the tank was in btr nick and there was just an o ring between the 2 which is worth a try. Mine was from a 93 1.8 gl and i have a 95 STi and it cost £35 from the local scrappy only difference is the shape of the reservoir as some are square and some round.

Bought mine SH from a guy on here but as with anything SH its a gamble i guess but @ least on a forum its harder to be a rogue unlike fleabay etc

Yes, yes and yes. I always try and warm it up and try not to thrash it 2 much and don't go for full power standing starts etc I'm sure the turbos capable of more but think anything else would need an upgrade or ten.

I run a 20g and get around 370/380 bhp with a FMIC, full decat 550cc injectors etc Had no complaints and plaenty of grins and doesn't take 2 long to get going at all.

Was discussing skylines the other day and what all the fuss is about as generally they look a bit bland (IMHO) but thats one hell of a nice car and with the power 2 match by the looks of it.

Why turn a scoob into an evo ?

I've seen this as well on my travels round the city very eyecatching !

Shows just how long i aint been around as i didn't know u had it til the other day. A white classic's hard 2 beat but i may b slightly biased I just want 2 know where you keep finding these minted scoobs ?

Not normally a fan of that much white but it looks very tidy indeed hoping mine will look that good by the end o the year

It is stunning, never driven one and they never sound the same but nothing ventured nothing gained and it is awesome !

FYI Mad Max is on tomorrow night @ 10pm
