New Scooby owner

[mariocinq]

Well i thought i would register on here since in two weeks i will be collecting my second scooby, my first was a Phase1 Impreza GL wagon around 5 year ago, it was just a 2.0ltr Non turbo but i gave it everything off a turbo bar the engine, insurance due to being young stopped me.

 

Now i am old enough and my premiums have come down i have decided to buy a fresh scooby, i have decided to be a little different and not go down the Impreza route again.

 

i will get some pics up once i have collected the car when its ready.

[rubix]

welcome to the club fella.

 

So what are you getting ?

 

Look forward to the pics

[scooby gee]

welcome and looking forward to seein some pics

[LaneyWRX]

Hiya and welcome... pic's please :)

[mariocinq]

i will leave it for the pics, but so far in the 4 years i have been trying to buy it off my friend i have not seen another one on the road or for sale anywhere.

[Gambit]

Welcome mate and I 2nd and 3rd 4th the pictures. When you get her. And good choice ;)

[mariocinq]

i have had many cars but recent i had a P10 primera and currently have an S60 turbo both of which are nothing compared to what i am getting.

[Gambit]

Now your making feel like a kid before Christmas ;) I want to see the pictures now. So when is the big day of pick up and ownership ?

[mariocinq]

two weeks tomorrow, would be sooner but i go away a week today for a week so i will go collect it when i get home, needs the brakes sorting then its ready to go, barely been used over the last couple of years, it does have a few mods but one i think i need to to is get a TD05 turbo as i believe its had one and been set-up for it but then had it removed and then not re-mapped for smaller turbo so its running a tad on the rich side of life. going to take it and get it Dyno'd asap and find out how she is running and what i need to get it 100% right.

[Gambit]

Sound's like a good one mate. And yep get the bigger turbo its the way forward ;) as long as the map fits anyway. Sounds like you have done your reading up on these car's too. So any mods planned before you buy it other then what you have put ?

I know you have some we was on about this the other day funny enough ;)

[mariocinq]

aside from finding a bigger turbo, it has all the mods i want for it, apart from a non turbo bonnet and wrx seats.

 

first port of call is to get it running 100% as its not at the moment but cant say more than that until i have collected it and had a dig around abit.

[Gambit]

Well sound's an Ideal Project car. And some pictures from start to finish will be a must now ;) one thing I wish I had done with mine :(

[mariocinq]

oh there will be lots of pics from start to finish, the body work isnt exactly the best but thats what i like about it, its sleeper lol

[Gambit]

Can you do body work yourself then ?

I some times think these types of cars are the best as you know what it's had done and you have done it all yourself

[mariocinq]

i have known the car for, like i say, about 4 years and the current owner has known its about 6 before that, it has all its old MOT's.

 

yeah i can do my own body work but like i say, think i will leave it abit tatty so when i wipe the smile off Mr M3 it stings that little more lol

[Gambit]

Hahaha fair enough :P

[mariocinq]

wish i had it now, i am dying to get some pics up.

[Gambit]

Well as soon as you do make this the 1st place to post them, then facebook or where ever ;)

[Jay762]

Wotcha and welcome - are you buying a 'ute' by any chance

[mariocinq]

i wish, that would be beyond cool, would love to drop an ej20 in one of them and keep it looking like a farm vechile lol, what i am getting is cool but not that cool lol.

 

do the letters BC mean anything to you's???

[Gambit]

Before Christ ? :D

[mariocinq]

Right so cat is out the bag, what i am getting is a 1993 Legacy turbo 4x4, not many left and they are getting rare, now mods i know it has at the mo are Cat-back for that scooby grumble, FMIC its a large one put on to replace a knackered water cooled top mount and a piggy back ecu. that is it, oh and its not in its original colour, its now metalic deep red, oh and its on Impreza 16's.

 

my Plans are to get it checked over buy a tuning company and get it Dyno'd to see what its producing as its got to be up on stock, but its not running 100%, its very rich atm and i fear its down to its had an 05 at somepoint and some-one has either blown it or removed it and replaced it with an 04 and its still mapped for the higher boost levels. time will tell but its going on a dyno on the 2nd June if not sooner.

 

Pics to follow once i have collected her.

[Gambit]

Sound good mate. And as we knew to this point sounds like it does need some work, well problem solving doing 1st then the work, but like you said could be just the map needs sorting out. I would say rare I never seen any around where I live a few Legacy estates  and foresters, rest made up of a few Subaru Imprezas

 

And look forward to seeing the pictures now just to see the colour :D

[mariocinq]

well that "howmanyleft" site says there are 78 of the Legacy turbo 4x4's left ut i have never seen another and i have been looking for one for the last 4 years lol. might go up to see it today and do some bits on it and if i do i will grab some piccies.

[Gambit]

WOOP-WOOP !! Pictures get them :)

78 I guess that is maybe I never see them too ;)
