It's not just about handling differences beween the MkI and MkII, it's more about what happens when you get to and beyond the limit of adhesion and chassis dynamics. From what I read, the MkI is not progressive in it's 'break away'. Once you have reached chassis and tyre limits it will snap...

I saw the Lunar grey one at the Motorshow. Under certain light the colour has a purple hue to it and was noticeable under the spotlights. I would argue that it wasnt a flat colour but meatallic and maybe even reflex. It certainly had metallic flecks if you looked hard enough.

I heard something like that too. However, I looked at fitting size guides and Mikes Cobra seats and Sparco are alot narrower than the OEM seat so actually gave more room. Maybe Recaro are different. Of course I could be talking cr*p. [Edited by PaulMc on 02 August 2005 at 1:02pm]

Mitch, I am having the same idea, only really keen on the Sparco and Recaro ranges. Mike went for Cobra I understand. I had a lengthy chat with Yaozza about Sparco fitment and the difficulty was with the subframes and mounting points. Give Yozza a call and see if the Recaros from the Trophy...

Thanks for trying his guys. Look forward to hearing your car Mitch...As are a few others I see ;-)

BTT ??

Any luck with this video footage yet. Maybe Mike can make it available as he is the orignal source

Great, thanks Mitch.

So did anyone get footage of Mitchs Orbisoud shod V6?

Whooh. Thanks all. I look forward to some footage of Bens exhaust on Mitchs car. AS Ben asked if you could get inside and out footage that would be great. Have fun and look forward to the results

Mitch, I know it was some time ago now, but did you (or anyone else) manage to get sound or video footage of the track day and of course the Orbisoud or K-Tec exhausts as discussed above? Thanks

Totally different types of car. You have to go and have a drive of each yourself and see which one YOU prefer. I have had 2 Scoobys incl a P1 and an Evo (preferred the P1) and now want a drivers car where my driving input dictates the cars behaviour and not the 4wd systems. Evos and...

I am 34, 8 yrs NCB, good postcode, garaged and have been quoted £720 on a MkII V6 with a £500 excess. Thats with A-Plan if I recall. Elephant wanted about £790 and £350 excess [Edited by PaulMc on 05 May 2005 at 9:15am]

The Coupe midrange is very, very quick and once on the roll with good 3rd gear gearing accelerates quickly. Never underestimate them. I also dont think that Scoob is standard. It has at least a decat exhaust which gives good results. [Edited by PaulMc on 05 May 2005 at 9:10am]

Been there done the Scooby x2 and Evo route over the last 8 years. The mkII v6 now hits all the right buttons. A REAL drivers car, with a multi cylinder engine and RWD. Something youll have to learn and respect to get the most out of it. Almost anyone can jump in a rally rep and hoon about...
