there are quite a few threads on scoobynet about 172 s scoob not shaking them off there tales and other scoob drivers know how quick the 172 is against a scoob i coudnt get more than 2k for my 51 plate prices are plummeting high fuel costs insurance and so thats why i bought a pocket rocket insurance halved fuel cost down happy days touch wood
 
Ive only had my 182 for a couple of weeks and I was toying with a scoob! Glad I stuck with the 182 though as it seems like a great car so far.

I looked at an 02 WRX but then realised it wasnt quick enough without throwing money at it. I'd still love an STI and I'll get one at some point but they're are so much more than WRX's!
 
Hi Nick,

Im selling my van and getting a FF 182 as a daily driver. The scoob is staying for me though as thats my real toy :)

Let me know how you get on with it

Frayz :)

vs a stock WRX i can imagine the Clio feels amazingly alive.

Hopefully my impreza should still be king of the hill on the drive ;)

try one and see but i think yours has been mapped and runnin big power cant remember everybodys car on there but i try too punctuation eh me being a mod lol
 
Im a member on Scoobynet too. Had a few thought they were great cars tbh. Which impreza did you have matey?

Dan.
 
Yeah thats one of the reasons i left the turbo scene, that and getting banned lol. I had an 03 sti ppp, superb car, quick, nice looking, oh and the sound mmm. But running costs is mental. Enjoy your car matey

Dan
 
i will get another scoob one day, probably a bug sti or something, i came from a classic wrx 260bhp as standard...can't fault the clio but damn i do miss the flat four burble :)
 
Mine was completely standard when i got it. Stick a JMS induction kit or similer on it, wouldnt run an open i/k tbh, not my cup of tea.
