Told the mrs I needed to find a Shell garage as we only had just over half a tank and the scoob don't run on anything but v power [emoji6]

 

 

Seeing as were away on hols in sunny Cornwall , i found 1 on Google maps and plumbed it in on the sat nav then set off to fill her up ....

 

 

2.5 hrs later ,via lots of twisties and a "water splash" (fjord) [emoji41]

 

 

i finally returned grinning like a Cheshire cat with just under half a tank [emoji15]

 

 

Guess I'd better nip out and brim the tank again tomorrow [emoji23]

  Soffened up the coilovers 4 clicks then Drove 370 miles from suffolk to Cornwall.

 

 

 

 

managed to get 310 miles out of a small jdm classic tank [emoji16]

 

 

 

 

Not bad for for a 360 hp car with a boot full of cases and 4 up [emoji41]

 

 

 

 

Admittedly my mapper' s attention to off boost fuelling (not just pub figures) and the UK ratio 6 speed giving me 2750 rpm in 6th at 70mph helped [emoji6]

 

 

 

 

 In the hatch I sit at about 2750 rpm at about 80mph although that's the indicated speed , because in the newer 6 speeds don't they have slightly longer ratios as the engine doesn't rev as high

I went by the sat nav' s GPS speed readout as my 23yr old mechanical Speedo is a bit out lol . I didn't know they did different uk ratios tbh but know there's at least 3 different jdm ratios (so it makes sense)

 

My 6 speed was out of a 60k 04 plate blobeye uk sti with ppp (so came with the ppp short shift) was lucky enough that it was a full conversion kit including 6 speed fly ,pink box clutch ,slave and starter motor for £1350 delivered [emoji41]

 

did not think the ppp job extended to a short shift. mine is an 08 with ppp. is it easy to see if it has the short shifter.

Dunno how much of a visual difference there is but mine's definitely got a shorter "through" than my brvs old bugeye 6 speed and a mates blobeye uk sti

leather gaiter looks a bit baggy. so might mean short shifter.

Just got back from a hell'va long road trip from suffolk to Cornwall , glad to say my 23yr old scooby ate the miles and didn't use a drop of oil or water [emoji41]

 

The only minor thing I had to do was empty the catch can.

 

Got through a fair bit of v power but did manage 310 miles to the first tank sitting at 70 on the carriage way off boost .

 

Admittedly the mpg went down considerably when i was driving in the twisties but the old girl did put a grin on my face.

 

 

Might treat her to a wash tomorrow as the country lanes and fjords have made her a bit grubby lol 93b4783855805a65607bfd88e2d866f8.jpg

Well after driving almost 1k miles in the scoob the mrs got in it today ,started on the button ,idled for 5 mins then stalled and wouldn't re start [emoji57]

 

Just turns over with no power to the dash ,fc controller,avcr ,afr gauge or lights .

 

But the parking lights ,stereo,multi gauge ,ciggy lighter all work fine [emoji15]

 

So today i be mostly reading wiring diagrams [emoji52]
