Unless it sounds like loose nuts in a galvanised bucket sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle, it is probably quite normal.

Im 39 next month

I get mine to bite at 2500 and as soon as the clutch hits the top, floor it. Wheels tend to feather a bit (Slight wheel spin and a bit of squeeling) all the way to 2nd gear change. See Nics video at thuxton and you will see what I mean.

The WR1 looks like a lovely car but the fuel comsumption figures are far worse than the STI, so I think I will leave this one (very quick though)

Thats 6 miles to the Gallon !!

Is it an import, or can it be bought from a scooby dealer ? Also how much ?

Sell the CUP and get a new Scooby WRX STI with the Prodrive kit. Over 300 BHP and sub 5 secs to 60 and around 13 to 100MPH. I could possibly afford to go for brand new in about 3 months. Ive finished looking through my shopping list of cars and this is the only one left.

Just seen the "Spec C STI", it looks pretty mean, its lighter by 125KGs and more power. Could be a good choice I think.

I looked at Evos they are off the shopping list due to 45oomile service intervals. Im not looking at 2nd hand Scoobys Ill be looking at the 305BHP 2004 model.

whats a 22B ?

mine

Im quite keen on the V6 Clio. But the Scooby WRX STI is quicker, cheaper and it has rear seats. I will probably able to afford either of them. I looked at the Evo VIII as well, but the service intervials are 4500 miles and that I recon is silly and impractical. Scooby is 10000 miles between...

I like mine too. Took 2 or 3 hundred miles to scrub them in on the back but very pleased with them now. I run 35 front & 31 rear.

Sell the Cup to buy and Scooby STI (new). I could probably get one in 6 months but not sure if it will be as much fun. Any thoughts ???

cup

mine did it all the time. now fixed by the above mod.

Ive got one too and love it. As cocopops says, a bit loud at 70 + but by no means unbearable.

Lucky I didnt catch him !!!!!!! Clio racing was brill as usual.

I was at Thruxton on Sunday and when I came back to my car, after the racing, someone had nicked one (yes one) of my lovely blue annodised valve caps............What are these type of people on ? I ask you.

interesting point, however:- as the current gearbox requires a certain amount of movement to change gear and the heatshield / exhaust are in the way to properly modify the gear shift distance. I thing B&M have designed in an ideal practical alternative. The standard Gear positioning is not...

Makes you wonder if they put enough oil in the gearbox. Sounds a bit like either layshaft bearings or the main beaing on the final drive end of the box. Had the latter on a rover 414 and it progressively (over about 700 miles) became a very heavy grinding noise that was so painfull to listen...

sorry, no pics. But it does look pretty nice and I am sure they said cheaper too.

they have a new design at Ktec now with a vent in the bonnet - looks pretty cool.

surely you must mean 115 KPH on the motorway (uk) ?

Im running the Green Cotton panel filter with the Hill Power Air intake pipe - seems a very good mix and a noticable inprovement.

Just a thought.... normally on the bank holiday weekend most of the racing in on the Sunday. Qualifying is mainly on the saturday with exception of some of the other racing (Not touring cars). Please can you advise as I would want anyone, including myself to go on the wrong day !

Oh bum ! guess I will be shelling out £44 for 2 tickets again.

cant even find the original post now ........Im either going mad or its too early in the morning.

Does the CD player still work, but cut our after 20 mins. Mine did this when it blew a fuse (cigar lighter didnt work either) it was a 15amp one behind the cover on the passenger side dashboard end.

it is loud on the motorway - but I have heard worse - mine is a quieter version - fitted jan 2004. Brill though, highly recommend, performance gain too.
