Hmmm so im the closest then! 167mph in a subaru imp turbo (with breathing mods) and Z rated tyres (good job and its scary at that speed before anyone asks!) Tony!

I think the advantage of 4wd would have whooped a fwd car (being the owner of both an AWD and fwd car). Tony

Ben j, there is an S2000 round here, to be honest with you, standing start i know id be quicker (i can get into the 13 sec 0-100 mark quite easily) and my in gear performance would leave one standing, on the road though i think there wouldnt be much in it, if i got in the right gear first i...

Anyone remember the one in the Bond film??? Tony

Someones having you on then Girl racer! ive seen a few red TMEs so there are definately more than 5, if anything the black ones are the rare ones. ScoobyP1, the P1 isnt limited to 155mph, this has been proven (like the MY00 turbo is limited to 147mph, try off the clock at 7k rpm!) The...

LOL! just read that advert, so you advance the timing? hmmmmm me thinks that can lead to some serious engine problems! you may as well say "hi have 7 xtra bhp for 1k then see your engine blow up with a melted piston or 2" And the increase of BHP..... bull..... i like the "top speed" increase...

Me thinks that unburnt petrol v cat converter means bill to company for new cat converter! Tony

Nick, they just normally say what they have (ie a uk turbo) but when you ask questions about will part x from an MY99 replace part y on an MY96 for instance you generally get a good idea what they are talking about (sounds silly i know but some parts dont fit older scoobs from newer cars) but...

Nick, there were lots of differences between the MY98 and the MY99 (the engine for instance), but Model years were like the evos, everyone was different as they evolved, unlike some of the cars i have owned (peugeots, renaults etc)..... MY is a difference, simple fact. Tony

Theft is still theft though guys, in most cases the culprit is local and if you find one with your reg number on someone elses car i think id take them back and ensure he needs more than center caps when he gets back to his car (like a tow to the garage to inflate his under inflated tyres)...

Simon, its because driving is more "fun" in an AWD car ;) Ive owned quite a few fwd hot hatches and to be honest with you, none of them has the ability of a scoob on the road, if you lost it in a hot hatch and lifted off, you would normally end up with lift off oversteer and put you through a...

Arjun, its designed in to the car, it is theoretically suppose to make you take your foot off the brake pedal, as in quite a few circumstances ABS doesnt stop you (quite the opposite in fact!) this is why it vibrates. (BTW before anyone asks, they can actually make ABS work without the...
