I'll add Jordan to the list! http://www.ranker.com/list/who-do-you-want-to-host-bbc-top-gear-/matthewgill Looks like Chris Harris is going to be the new stig then?!?!

The fastest stock bottom end Subaru in the world has a 2.5! It has over 600bhp and was run hard for a couple of years before the owner wanted a forged engine. The tuner who built it says the 2.5 tolerances can be a bit hit and miss out of the factory but when you get a good one they can take good power. Another US tuner claimed it was poor ecutek/open source or un-mapped mods mapping that was killing 2.5 lumps coming into their garage with many having failure on the cylinder nearest the hot turbo/up-pipe/downpipe. Apparently the 2.5 is more prone to boost creep and det due to more gasses so a good mapper is essential. These are all US spec Imprezas though

Scoobyclinic took my subframe brace off my 2003 WRX when I took the car in for weight saving, they said it was part of what they do to save weight. I felt no difference in handling but tbh I don't push my car on UK bends.

The WRX is a great car, so much more efficient than my old EVO IV and my mates EVO V. 35mpg v's 23mpg and my 240bhp WRX killed my 280bhp EVO and when I got it to around 285bhp my mates 380bhp EVO 5 couldn't live with it. I'd love to know accurate transmission losses for the WRX, STI and EVO as there's definitely a difference between the 3.

I have it too. Pretty loud. I wouldn't map for a cat back either or the decat up-pipe. I did fit a sportscat downpipe and checked out the fueling and it needed a tweak.

My TD04 was quite noisey at 1bar but my TD05 at 1.3bar is quiet as hell :(

I've still got the original clutch in my 332bhp 03 WRX and I launch hard at the drag lights at 6,000rpm.

My wife passed her test last year and bought a 190bhp MK4 TDI. I loved it she hated it, selling it after 2 months, I was very very sad to see it go. 66.6mpg and tons of torque at 1800rpm

A slightly better response than the 1st one!! "We publicly apologise to Ben Newbery and offer to pay for a full check-over of his vehicle at RCMS in Leicester." Wasn't that kinda my suggestion?

what kinda mm can you get away with raising if you find yourself hitting speed bumps before you have to align again? 0?

They really are alienating their company from the Subaru community. I wonder if their shop sales are doing well enough to make them not care about the garage side, I can imagine they want to operate more like AET with Turbo sales being paramount and the tuning side saved for high end race cars/demos etc. I must admit the tuning side of AET has dropped in quality too.

This has been set up though for customer feedback: https://www.facebook.com/Scoobyclinic-Chesterfield-pothole-bashers-club-438565056349664/?fref=ts

I see SC have disabled visitor comments on their FB page.

Put some Water Wetter in today!

I can't help thinking Kev is thinking this is mainly a battle against the EVO community, especially with many SC fanboys (as I used to be) seeing it wrongly and posting support/distortions. His pride is also stopping him holding his hands up in a battle with someone he's obviously taken a dislike to.

Kev's ill-written response has gone down like a lead balloon on Facebook, MLR and SN. ...and he can't understand the furore? Half of the disdain is now aimed at Kev!!!

Just admit a member of staff was out of order, all at SC were appalled/shocked and he has resigned, Then offer some form of compensation for the stress on both the customer and his car. Maybe pay RCM or a tuner of Ben's choice £1000 in which Ben can redeem there etc. The Facebook page response has aggravated more people. Something Kev will no doubt put on "joining the bandwagon"

The actions in the video aren't acceptable or defendable and from my experience of SN, MRL, youtube and facebook reactions 95% condemn SC's actions and reactions. It is sad Kev's honest staff may suffer, especially Pat the Map who I've always declared is the best in the business.

Interesting statement by Scoobyclinic's Kev, they clearly aren't facing up to what has happened and using a spin that will only exacerbate matters. .

So basically Ben was too Cockney and I was too anti-social, ok.

...and that freezing waiting room!!!!

I had an experience at SC before over a sudden radiator gush but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Though I did have a break from them for a few years after. This new incident and other accounts I've read about over the last few days on MLR etc (inc physical threats) have put me off big time.
