So iv owned my first scooby for 8 days now but it's not just the looks / the way it rids or handles or even that flat four burble that they are renowned for. That make them so loved by many but it has to be  the community that goes with them as well that make them special to.

I had the chance to take her out this weekend and every single person that  I came across driving there scooby eaither flashed me or waved I haven't had that since way back when with my fto. And then there this community on here to everyone has been welcoming and any questions iv had has been answered. So to sum up then  owning any of scooby  is awesome and expensive all tho not as expensive as having a better haf and the scooby dosent answer back to lol

Glad you've all enjoyed it 😊 I've had mine just over a year and the flashing never gets old. Just don't ask gambit to flash you. Nothing beats the feeling walking out in the morning and seeing a scoob parked up. Along comes that smug feeling "oh yeah! That's mine". Then you start attending meets and shows. It's a whole different feeling sat in traffic caused by 120 Subarus...

 

I've had a good little group with me down south in Kent. All top bananas. They even came to my wedding 😏

I'm sorry Phil but get ready for some serious brown  tongue time lol  she is properly smart I had to look twice on the reg to make shore it was 52 same year as mine.

But I can't belive the difference in was wondering if it would be worth me doing mine up fully or to maybe go for a new one as mine needs a little tlc but having seen your's  on the same year I'm inspired now to just dig in and spend the 12 -24 months and give her the fully attention she needs. 

A special as you have dun a few things that iv been thinking of doing for one how easy is it to remove the air vents in the bonnet for a bigger sti type. Doe's it pop out or is it a hole new bonnet as I'm thinking of replacing mine and getting a roof scoop to. And the other was taking off the bar's on the roof bar's and smoothing them over.

All in all mate she's a smart motor well dun

Welcome, good motor and yes we all love the YEAH BABY THATS MY TOY!!! Meet cruises or a drive out is ALWAYS a great feeling....

Scooby ghost, you've got my car in the second pic the Silver Classic WRX STI..... :biggrin: funny thing was the one that's 2 in front of me with the blue mud guards had sold it a few days before and was taking out with his girl friend for the last Scooby meet, when we arrived in Brighton we went in the Marina car park and he went at a bad angle and to quick which caused his splitter and bumper to rip off the car!!! Oops !!!! @Scoobyghost

Hi Darren glad you like what I have done...when I was looking at getting a scooby I looked at newer ones hawkeyes hatchbacks and but after driving the bug eye it just felt more like I thought a scooby would, my opinion is make the one you,ve got unique to you and you will get more pleasure than a newer one that needs nothing doing..and bug eyes are going up in value all older scoobys are as eventually there won't be many left as at the min people are breaking nice cars as they can make more money ..yours looks a great car keep hold of her!regarding the bonnet scoop it just unbolts of the bonnet and has a under tray I got a sti replica of eBay £60 fits great did need a bit of preparation before painting ie high build primer  for a nice flat finish but let's more air in and looks mean as hell when sat in the drivers seat.I derailed my roof  had to get roof trims from Japan as there wagons don't have rails cost £180 for two bits of plastic but looks so much sportier..your idea of filling over would look good as well you could then wrap the roof or paint it a offset colour ,I wanted a roof scoop but other half talked me out of it but they look cool obviously you do need  to cut a hole in the roof which also put me of a bit but hey no pain no gain😀First job I would advise is unless you no its been done get the cambelt done not worth risking then some good 5/40 fully synthetic oil and a black genuine subaru  oil filter of flea bay then you can relax and plan your other mods !any time I can help if I can let me no and there are a lot more knowledgeable people than me on here as well so you never get stuck cheers Phil😁

Thanks scoobyghost il give them a check out as I'm in need of discs and pads so they might come on handy. 

Thanks il keep that in mind  Phi thrte will probably be plenty of stupid question to be had lol.  shed had belts and pumps dun last month by the last owner and I got her in for a oil change all most right away. She's new disc's and pads and a service. And them il be looking to start iv got a basic idea of what I won't her to look and go like. The trouble is once I start I get the old tunnel vision think untill it's how I won't it.

I'm up by the east coast just down from Scarborough were would you recommend getting her seen to that will see her right obviously I don't were everyone live but I think I'm going to need to travel to find a good place
