My Dream is to buy West Surrey Racing as they are down the road from me, convert them to a Scoob Chassis and enter the BTCC. All I need to do is win the lottery, convince Alan Gow to allow 2ltr flat fours and we are a go.

Anyone changed from Blob/Bug to a Hatch?
I can't really comment as I went from an 16 year old classic straight to Hatch so it's like chalk and cheese. Only thing I would say is go for the STI over the WRX, I so regretted not getting an STI when I got my classic. The STI is so much more car. I'll be happy to give you test drive in my hatch. Next Surrey meet is 12/04 but I dont know if I'll be there tbh.

Saved £100+
You should have tried companies like Keith Micheals they spec in Subaru and tend to offer better deals than compare sites as the compare sites cheaper option tend to be a much higher excess and don't give all the bells and whistles.

I do you an offer for Sky half price for a year :D- Newbie in Surrey
Welcome along, have you ever heard of Surrey Scoobies owners club?- BBC: BRING BACK CLARKSON
Hamonds been doing stuff for Nat geo for a couple of years whilst still under contract to the BBC. Tbh I think Sky would shy away just because of the controversy Clarkson may cause. Look at the Andy Gray Richard Keys affair, there has been other talent sacked from sky for much less than Clarkson ever did.- Boost gauge/gauge pod help
I've had my Depo gauge for installed for 2 years+ and not had any issues with it. I know quite a few memebers went with Depo and not heard of any issues from anyone. You sure they just weren't trying to sell you a more expensive unit, after all it's in their intrest to upswell you to silly price gauges. If you think these are hard to install then you should look at the Defi range, you can't just buy 1 gauge, you also have to have a seperate interface between the sensors and the guages. Installation is quite easy the hardest part is feeding the wires through the bulkhead and routing it through the back of the dash. Where abouts are you I'm sure someone local may be able to help you with the install.- BBC: BRING BACK CLARKSON
To be honest I don't think sky are interested, we've not heard anything at work.- Paint correction on my classic
Great job a good days cleaning can be one of the most satisfying jobs on a car :)- Fastest colours?
Scoobs are of course WR blue, even though I've had the slower silver and black colours, never had a blue one though.- Forza Horizon 2 Fast and Furious expansion pack free ti 10/04/15

Kyosho Mini z 1:28 Hatch with my own decals. Here's a pic of the small 1/28th scale scoob I've just finished tarting up.- Show us you model Scoobs.
As the title says post up pics of your model scoobs. Autoart 22b and 2003 Rally De Corsa- A model impreza
Autoart are the best but they haven't produced any scoobs for awhile so it's a sellers market. They do various sizes 1:16 1:43 ect Here's a list of subaru models, rather than buying direct ebay is a good source for them. http://www.autoartmodels.com/product.web.ViewProducts.do?field0=pd.brandId&key0=41&orderBy=ps.rank,pd.productCode,pb.brandNameEn&sortDirectionStr=1,1&st=make.title&localeId=en- Short throw lever
I had a B&M short shift on my classic, that was just a rejigged gear stick with the points of attachment adjust to create a shorter throw. It wasn't the best option but it did make a difference. After a while it became sloppy and kept jumping out the gear lever receiver. On my 08 Hatch I went for the more comprehensive Kartboy shifter which included replacement bushes and give a much more positive action. Down side is that the urethane bushes have increased the amount of noise the gearbox transmits to the body. But then it sounds more like a straight cut rally box lol. I got my Kartboy from AS Performance http://asperformance.com. Give them a call as they are very good and always willing to give top notch advice. Here is a link to a thread I posted with a video of the short shift installed. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/5625-kartboy-shortshift/?hl=%2Bkartboy+%2Bshort+%2Bshift - BBC: BRING BACK CLARKSON
