My new car....CAUTION: Horses inside...

[Martin!]

Well, the Clio went on Sunday, and in it's place came this....

A 426.4bhp Scooby Impreza Type R.....MASSIVE spec, of which i'll go through and list later...but yeah, some piccies...well, loadsa pics...

It's an absolute animal to drive lol.

Comments welcomed, as always

 

[Daniel]

I love that!!

 

[fUbAr]

Nice wheels, love the white too.

f**k doing any work in that engine bay though, what a mess! lol

 

[Alastair.]

426 bhp, feking hell

 

[Martin!]

Cheers guys...

fUbAr - Yeah, the engine bay will be getting tidied up this weekend, it's a total mess, the earthing kit can be routed out of sight for a start....gives me at least something to do to it lol!!

 

[JoeyD]

Video's needed!! WOW.

 

[brisa4984]

alloys could do with a change. compomotives but blimey does that look ace! whats the torque?

 

[Ben]

That is a beast! Get some videos up when you can, nice stepup.

Nah, I had Compomotives on my old Scooby, so don't want to go down that route again. Plus, those on this one are lightweight jobbies. The torque is 380lb/ft.

 

[Martin!]

That is a beast! Get some videos up when you can, nice stepup.

There shall be videos at some point, it's an absolute animal to drive on the high boost map when giving it some, but yet quite docile around town still.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i hope you have deep pockets!

 

[Martin!]

i hope you have deep pockets!

Deep enough

 

[vts_saxo]

Very nice, with that power and the type R ratio's acceleration must be impressive!

What specs the engine?

What specs the engine?

Yeah it's pretty rapid mate lol...

Engine spec is...off the top of my head...

Simtek ECU running 2 switchable maps (mapped by Steve Simpson of TEGsport), low boost for pump fuel (VPower), and high boost to run a 10% methanol to 90% VPower mix
2.1 stroker kit
Forged pistons
Steel rods
Knife edged crank
MD321t turbo
HKS high lift cams
HKS headers
ARC front mount intercooler
Nismo 740cc injectors
Fuelab pressure regulator

...and probably more i've forgot

 

[dalla]

What a beast. Must be RAPID

 

[R20 CWH]

very tasty that, engine bay needs a tidy up and your laughing.

Good to see outside isnt a shambles and a chav lovers dream. Quite like the theme it has colour wise.

 

[Alex_X93]

Nice looks like the first p1 was all white too...

 

[Tunst]

Awesome mate just awesome... You bringing her nto straightliners this month?


Can i have a play?

 

[Englebert]

Sounds like a great spec!

 

[Scrooge]

First scooby i've liked in ages.

 

[Ian_182]

Looks pretty good.

 

[Craigus]

I hope you know your way around the engine, lol.

 

[Addz]

Looks really nice that, bet it flys! My mates 320bhp one flys

 

[Triki]

Like it !

Just hope it does not turn into a money pit.

 

[kev182cup]

Wow rebuild much. Lol I'd be scared of it going bang everytime I went out.

 

[daveski]

Stunning car. I like that alot, don't fancy running it myself though

 

[_Tom]

Love it. Nice spec too. I'm with the others. After my bro's STi rebuild costing 4.5k im scared of them..lol

 

[gaz44]

Not a huge fan of these but that looks mint! Rear end is perfect - not so keen on the front end, and that number plate, or lack of it - legal? Will you not get pulled over everytime you go out?

Must be fast, enjoy!

 

[Ali]

Engine bay is such a mess, also needs the plate put back on.

 

[.GAZ.]

Love it!

Needs a Blobeye STI vent.

 

[Luke.]

How much did you pay for the car out of interest? What sort of mpg do you think you'll get??

My mate had a 408bhp Evo 8 and used to get 8mpg and 10mpg on a run

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Shexuwall.

I loike.

 

[Firas]

awesome scoob martin. with the spec on this car i think your pretty safe running this sort of power.

 

[Icarus83]

I've always wanted a 22b, but yours looks great, bet its fantastic to drive.........*heads off to pistonheads/autotrader to see what I could buy lol*

 

[Hixle]

Looks great! My mate's P1 is running standard power and that feels very fast - I can't imagine how quick this is!

 

[Sam]

Jesus. I bet thats a flipping weapon. Have fun in it.

Question. Is that front number plate legal ? Does it reflect ?

Sam!

 

[Martin!]

To try and answer a few questions....

Tunst - I may pop down to Straightliners if Cumbrian Scoobs are there again, won't be running it though....

Ummm...front "plate" won't be legal no, it's just standard font size stickers stuck to the bodywork....

MPG wise, im seeing roughly 100 miles to £20 driving on the high boost map with methanol....and having a play every now and then....

Not saying how much I paid, but it was a bargain

No worries about it going bang....it's just had a fully forged rebuild by one of the best companies to do it....it's safe running that power with the spec, no problem at all.

It's a bit of a monster to drive...you have to think a few miles ahead before planting the foot lol

It doesn't need a Blob STi scoop....it runs a front mount, so not going to spoil it with something pointless

 

[Daz.]

tints hurt my eyes but love it all the same.

 

[Dave..]

Get it covered in subaru graffics and you'll fit right in!

But seriously, that minus spoiler, would look awesome.

Yeah man, Subaru livery is the way forward man, innit

I tried spoilerless on my old one, and as much as I loved the look, it just didn't handle as nice in the higher speed corners, the back felt very light....although it did increase fuel economy, much less drag lol!!
