matmidgley Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So, I have had my scooby for about a month. Completely standard apart from tinted lights. here So far I have had the cambelt kit n water pump done and given her a service. Fitted a Ninja 2 backbox but found it still too quiet, so went stainless from downpipe back After that was done my forge dump valve had been delivered so fitted that also have now also fitted a STI rep spoiler next plan will be, tinted windows on the rears. lowered and new wheels, along with a decat for the downpipe and a remap but holding off till after xmas to continue or at least I will attempt to hold off! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmidgley Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 been quiet for a few months now and earned some more pennies to spend :) Upgraded the Stereo for the app radio 3 and the front speakers and tweeters to some alpine ones with a x over, and also fitted my Vibe sub that I have had in every car for the last 9 years but still going strong :) , was pretty easy removing the trim and running the wires front to back was all done on a Saturday at work. I have the last downpipe decat to fit on Thursday, I have also just ordered my walbro 255 to be fit on Thursday as well. Friday I have a slow 2hr drive to get my car remapped by Andy Carr at TEGSport will post the results once done I still need to black out the windows :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmidgley Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 ta, but after reading many posts about the walbro pump im attempting to cancel that order as its from eBay, even tho the seller has good rep I dont wanna risk buying a dodgy one. need to look for an alternative or at least a guaranteed genuine seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Rcm pumps are good, a little more expensive though, ash has a scooby worx pump in his running 360 bhp and it he says it's ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmidgley Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 been playing a bit more, ordered brake discs & Pads from godspeed and some HEL Braided hoses from scoobyworx. along with oil, gearbox oil, coolant and brake fluid. ended up with some race dot 4 fluid as they had no 5.1 in stock at scoobyworx. got around to fitting the dics a few days ago the callipers defo need a repaint, the old discs were still the originals and were a real pia to get off then decided Id have a play with some vinyl inside, my firsts attempts I used a hair dryer and the result wasnt great. So I picked up a heatgun and tried again. the pics the colour looks much lighter than it does in real life still have the oils to change when I get chance although its only done 3k miles since last service. but I will let the garage mess around with fitting the hoses and brake fluid and coolant. and will probably get some lowering springs so he can do it all at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmidgley Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 ordered a piller pod, boost guage and tein s tech lowering springs this morning. will post pics once fitted :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
