you could have least found the pic of them with the scooby blue one,,,

He isn't going to clinic i don't think.

Because its all been said before, he refused to show the boss the video when asked. So if I went to your boss and said you'd done x/y/z and gave no evidence would you expect to be fired? The last time something like this happened a guy claimed to be on site for 45 mins waiting for them to 'shovel their face' as he put it, the security footage then showed he was on site for 2 mins 45 seconds. Have a read. And after think about how you'd react. http://www.scoobynet.com/dealer-and-third-party-supplier-queries-3/750117-scoobyclinic-dont-need-our-cash.html

that's total garbage, the only time anything like that has been ever said is when people have gone around spreading lies and no matter what is said they don't stop. How would you react if someone was doing that?

A 20 year reputation blotted by one incident, the difference is i've been around long enough to see cowboys come and go, plus crap mappers turn out dozens of !Removed! up cars yet people still think there good recommend them and they end up with a !Removed! up car, just like pigs found out. I don't like people being ripped off and it winds me up.

Based on one incident i'm guessing you do everything in your life yourself?

Depends how willing you are to travel, Andy Forrest, Scoobyclinic and engine tuner are the only 3 i'd ever use. Paul Blamier is the other one but he now works for Ecutek so doesn't do public mapping.

welcome

It varies greatly from year to year, but a rough list (taken some from above to make it as complete as possible) Different manifold some years have no/single/double avcs Suspension brakes pistons are different as said but new age don't have true forged pistons, they have hypereutectic Interior DCCD/no DCCD Bodywork difference, high level spoiler, roof spoiler on hawks. Wheels PCD is different on some years R180 vs R160 rear set (r180 is a stronger diff and different hubs) Cams ECU is the same but different map Exhaust is the same bar a cat removed on the STI Intercooler Injectors turbo So simply put alot beyond the engine as well

welcome :) by the way, they arn't a money pit at all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ok they are but we as owners just ignore MPG and use SPG, smiles per gallon ;) lol

Anything tbh, there pretty rare so anyone looking for spares will be interested. Usual is engine and gearbox though

ouch, not good news. If you have room to break it prob get more breaking it, but will take a while to do it and for the parts to sell

make a good little upgrade from a td04

Ah fair doos.

The calipers are the same as yours arn't they so a bit of a pointless swap like for like? Could do with putting on braided lines as well

Expensive for what it is but there's worse out there

Ah bummer

He's their specialist in jap cars, he's been away for a couple of days so will be on the phone constantly unless you catch him at just the right time

Rods are good for around 400, where as you can push it to a safe 450 if you do them as well. While its apart it makes sence to do em at the same time if budget allows. 450bhp 2.5 makes a cracking drive ;)

piston and rods wont be cheap, but well worth doing, pistons especialy.

no comment,,,,,,,,,,

without further investigation could have been any number of things

that looks more like it detted its **** off rather than ring land failure

Try Keith Michaels insurance, gary moulson is the guy to speak to.

STI turbo is a VF35. Your turbo will be your limit, as far as turbo's stay clear of ebay one's. Brakes i wouldn't bother with K sport, well known issues with dust seals. Decent set of D2's or similar will be same price and has proper dust seals. Or if you want the best a set of AP 4 or 6 pots are as good as it gets.
