Back in a Scoob

[leeds_182]

Just got back from picking this up. I needed something i could put the dog in and take the kids to school in and this fitted the bill.

More details tomorrow !

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Wagontastic !

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Great choice.

I used to think the front end of these was horrendous.

 

[Donny_Dog]

1:38AM - you nut case.
Slow, heavy & old - and the car is as well.

Slow? With not too much money these will run at 350/350 all day long. I used to rip the arse out of many a Porsche in my Wag.

That is true BUT his comment is currently correct. They are very slow as standard (no idea if this one is)

Ive always proffered the estate versions.
Whats the mpg like are they as bad as everyone makes out.?

You're so right there buddy. Still nice to listen to the bubble as you potter along tho

 

[Mr Plums]

Why do you change cars so much mate? I get attached to them and try make them the best I can and find it hard to part with them.

 

[imprezaworks]

so you did buy it

Life's too short. I have decided I need to sample as many cars as possible.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, I took the plunge.

Had a couple of bits done so goes ok.

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice.

 

[yeecup]

Nice purchase! Once you've owned a scoob u always go back. Such great all round cars

 

[lewisredfern001]

Just out of interest what does one need to make 330+
I've just picked up a completely standard one

A miracle and a set of optimistic rollers.

Quite a bit according to the above.

Stop being so vague and put up some more details.

Depends on the clio

Lovely though. I have a real soft spot for Wagons, I want @TheEvilGiraffe 's wagon.

 

[leeds_182]

Let the mods commence!

 

[Cub.]

Lols! You could put your head in that!

 

[leeds_182]

Lols! You could put your head in that!

I did a genuine lol when I first saw it.

Only on a scoob.

 

[Daz.]

How much would 350bhp cost in one of these?

A lot!
The gearboxes are only capable of 300-320 if you like driving hard.
If you're wanting 350 and the torque to go with it, an STi 6 speed box will be needed.

My old one had 320bhp and the 5 speed and it was plenty. Went like stink! Lol

 

[Mar172]

There's a nice one running around 390 for sale at r&w motor company I keep looking at

 

[182Trophy]

Let the mods commence!

Almost as big as katie hopkins arsehole! Almost.

That's a bit of a myth to be fair. Andy Forrest mapped my Wag to 350 in 2009 and I only sold it last month. It 's still running strong to this day. Ask him now and he'll tell you 380ish and you're starting to push it. Thats plenty for a road car. If you want to go six speed Sti box, you'll need the shafts, diffs, hubs blah blah... You're looking at a 3grand bill just for the tranny. Then if the box go's £1500 for a replacement. Stick with the 5speed, cost pennies if you're unfortunate enough to blow one. They're very map sensitive tho so I wouldnt go changing intakes or boost pressures n stuff without a check of the map to see if a tweaks required. This is where so many go bang and they get a bad rep for it.


Want to buy a set of snowboard racks for it BTW :smile:

 

[Daniel]

When you say 'a bit of a myth' I asked on scoobynet when I was researching buying mine, and that's what they all told me.
Maybe a bit like this place and cambelts! Lol

 

[James]

I've never seen so much scaremongering than I have on scoobynet lol it might all be true but f**k me do they take every opportunity to shoot people down

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Scoob 1.0 .. 315hp /430nm ate my box. Twice.

Scoob 2.0 is running standard power......

PS Oli.. Hands off.

 

[coleman]

SN is a mappers dream, adjusted your seat? might want to get your map checked. Changed your wheels? might want to get your mapped checked.
Only ever really gone on there now for the Projets part.

 

[Ray Gin]

Nice wagon. A set of gold revos would suit it IMO.....

Previous owner of mine told me don't go over 320bhp regardless of what anyone says. I guess driving style comes into it a lot and lets face it, if you're driving a modded Impreza chances are you won't drive like a granny.

 

[leeds_182]

Ordered the rest of the exhaust today. Non res centre section and decat down pipe should be with me this week hopefully.

Bring back the burble.

 

[leeds_182]

Gave it a wash today;

 

[imprezaworks]

i like it

 

[Dano']

I often think of selling my scoob, it's costing a fortune!

But then I drive it and think nahhhh haha

Mines 320/290 and pulls like a beaut! The smiles per gallon are worth it all day long!

Nice purchase

Amazing cars, 2005 DCCD 6sp widetrack Sti with standard engine I was running 375/340 but that wasn't enough so got to work building a 2.5 fully forged engine over winter with a GT35 and that made an absolute stupid amount of power until I can dig out the dyno photo I will just say it was over 500hp

 

[leeds_182]

I had a widetrack sti. Best scoob without going JDM.

Yo!

 

[-Dan-]

100% best out the factory, nicest looking and best spec with the strongest engine,

JDM is good but the noise you lose I lost the Burble with the equal headers but it made the power which is what I wanted
