I guess this answers my question as to whether you've sold it or not lol.I'm having a proper hard time selling my scoob. My current thoughts are to put a quieter exhaust on it (or add a silencer?) and de-spoiler it. Then get the wheels done in anthracite and then put my wife in it and sell her fiesta.
I get to keep the scoob, she will then drive it (she won't drive it with the exhaust and spoiler!) and I can sell her car to fund the van.
What do we think? Would a quiet exhaust and no spoiler ruin my love for the car??

Thought you had sold it through ebay?
Let's be honest, it's stupidly loud how it is. Get a quieter one on it.I'm thinking that once it's quiet, I will lose a part of the car that I love, the bobobobobobobobob that they make sounds epic with a big exhaust.
(Or desaust as my boy says)
Lol. It wouldn't last 2 minutes on the standard map and it sure as s**t wouldn't be running as well as it does.Of course it's been mapped. With what it's got on it, it would have blown into a million pieces by now if it wasn't!
Rich is just a spastic with a s**t sense of humour.

Assuming your wife keeps it for 6 months before she reaches her limit and wants something more sensible, will those (de-)modifications make it easier to sell come the summer?I'm having a proper hard time selling my scoob.

If yes, make the changes now and complete the sale. Cherish the memories of it at its peak, don't dilute them with compromises.
If no, something else is the cause for the difficulty moving it on. Address those issues and make the sale.
Not sure what the rules are like on sn for advertising other people's cars but your welcome to send me the advert and I can copy and paste it on there for you.

Wanna swap it for a 330i touring?
(joke)
(I think)
Strip the goodies off and put it back to standard, reduce price and make it up by selling off the goodies which will fly out.
Surely the hassle of buying all of this/swapping/px far outweighs just selling it as is.Couldn't you just buy a standard ECU from eBay and chuck that on with the Std TD04 and exhaust ?
Well... I have to admit I've never been a big fan of Scoobies (admittedly having only ever driven a couple of boggo standard WRX models and a very poorly WRX STi a few years ago). But last night my mate came over and I went out for a blast in his STi UK Spec PPP. It's running a few mods and tuned / tweaked by Jolly Green Monster. Wow - what a machine. Even in the s**t weather we're having at the moment it was incredibly composed and, although I'm an NA purist at heart, I do love that push-in-the-back feeling as it comes on boost. I'm just gutted I caught his new ChargeSpeed carbon fibre front lip on the kerbside as I reversed it out the end of my street... Luckily no damage done. I've asked for another go when the weather is a bit better.
It's tastefully modified (in my opinion) and I wouldn't say no. I'll try and get some more pics up later this evening.f**k that's nice. Made me want one again now!
