What's the benefit of a transmission mount Snoop?

Does it have a stereo with USB? Scoobs do typically come with rubbish speakers and head unit. You could save the £1k for any surprises

Here you go...he's all the way through it but 8:10 roughly

Ah right interesting. You said wrapped...is It wrapped in plasti dip? I originally asked as I saw a documentary at (in think) the start of the year with a scoob in very similar colours...I didn't think it was a standard colour so wondering if it was the car from the docu

I thought all P1s were WR blue...except for the prototype white...is this an official colour or a re spray?

As far as I'm aware we don't have any rules like that. We're one country...so your car is either legal or not legal country wide...anyone know any differently? It's not like the US with state laws.

Thats a very nice offer :)

and you also need something to do when you get it :) always nice to have a good fiddle ;)

P.S. looks a nice car :)

It shouldn't matter if its a £1k car or £15k you should still be given respect and service. I hate it when you've spent time going to a shop (and your case even booked a appointment) and then whoever phones up from their sofa gets the attention of the attendant, wheres that rant thread again As I said in the other thread. I've not had a huge amount of contact with him. He did answer my calls promptly and answer all my questions in a friendly manner - perhaps when you were there in person I'm not sure how Hurst are post sales. I think I'd ask who has had a problem post sales and how was it dealt with.

Dempsey, So are you referring to Hurst when you are talking about the bug guy not interested in selling? Quite surprising to hear that if it is. From what I've heard about them they are usually really good. Perhaps you caught him in a funny mood or you gave the impression you were "yet another tire kicker"...not implying anything mate just trying to reason it away

All the searching I did they seem to have a good rep. I saw they had a car I wanted but by the time I called they Hey had sold. Looks like a Hurst photo in your AVatar

Yea when I was looking for mine I resigned myself to booking a cheap hotel and doing Wales and Birmingham area one weekend. I found one 75 miles away in the end. Worth bearing in mind it's a slow time of year....thing could pick up mid Jan [emoji3]

P.S. I think I've read a thread about your car already. Stunning!

My mate is in Essex with a highly modified Nissan Skyline. He's got a fully de-catted exhaust. I can ask him tomorrow where he goes if you like, I think he is around Southend on Sea....so may be too far?

The other to go for is an AA check...not as good as a Scoobie specialist but should give you piece of mind...especially if you don't have money to sort anything major :) Let us know how you get on :D

You are perfectly right on that...I moved with my company to India for 20 months...I came back and gave them my previous 20 month old NCD letter and carried on with it.

The only guy I use is Dan at Surrey Subaru Specialists. He's in Camberley which looks about 1.5hr drive from Bedford. You could always give him a call and see what he says. http://www.surreysubaruspecialists.com/contact-us/ He's a great guy and expert at his job. I do a 100 mile round trip to get my car serviced by him. Insurance. Not sure I understand, So you don't have a full year NCD yet so they won't give you proof of anything? If you have a year they should give you proof of it which you can give you your next company.

I don't think you lose your NCD over night mate....I left the country for two years and still used mine when I came back ;)

If you really like the car, it seems good for the money and it's got a nice documented history (???) then I'd go for it...but I'd do it thinking I'm buying privately and assuming I'd get no after sales support at all. There are companies like that out there...I'm always reading about Cheshire cars. You could pay someone to check it over for you? Scooby specialist would be good but if not AA?

Very nice. Almost tempted myself.

I wasn't intending to pass you off...I just wanted to point out you shouldn't just listen to any old muppet (me) on the internet you should ask the expert mappers :) I don't want to be held responsible ;)

The WRX-S will still only have a tweaked map that was the same on all the mass produced WRX-S's ( One that needs to cope with all conditions and types of fuel ). So I'd expect a remap specific to your car to bring out the best in it. I don't have any experience of remapping a WRX-S...it's just I can't believe you can't make more BHP than my 2ltr car :) Also, not sure how safe it is to tinker with a 2.5 either with all the stories I've read of standard cars giving up the ghost after 30k miles

That's good to hear. He remapped my car a few weeks ago and he looked shattered
