Scooby Pete

Know what you mean with the Hatch, some one asked me if I had a FOCUS!!!!!! Also when I had the Classic every scoob waved, now I hardly get any waves in the Hatch, still love it to bits though :D

that some tasty treats lavished on the car :)

Hey Salsa King, your wind delflectors are they from the Polish company Heko? If so did you get the metal clips to work without modifing them? I have had my clips fall out, so I took them out completly and the rear passenger ones fell off :( Luckily the windows were open and it fell in the car

If you want to find local meets check out the SIDC forums they have a South West Section there. Also try [Edit]Scabbynet[/EDIT] they have regional sections there, the only club i know that meets regularly besides Surrey is South East Scoobies, but again thats even further than Surrey lol.

Rang Subaru and theres no way to change it :( !Removed! Stupid idea, if you have someone with you you can gtee they will grab the handel just as you press the button the 2nd time and the whole rigmarole has to start again!

Oh this would be handy to have as I want to change the way the car locks, fed up with the central locking not unlocking all doors on just one press.

2nd the recomendation for Scooby Worlds range of Exhausts I ran a Scoobyworld AfterBurner, then the Afterburner Vortex. Quite loud. but not as loud as Blitz NurSpec or HKS Super Dagger.

Nice Cars. :)

totaly agree, I think Gambit should have his avatar banned :)

Have you tried Scoobynet? They have a large for sale section on that board. My local Subaru breakers have plenty of cars in at the moment. Call Pete at South East Imprezas 07891129485 he may be able to help.

Nice :)

Dont where I have got this rep from???? I will bow out aswell as I don't have a clue. Maybe contact your local Subaru specalist??

Welome :) If it were me I'd go with the larger STI/P1 type Spoiler.

great work so far :)

Brakes is deff 1 area I won't go "Cheap" on. I'll always go for EBC stuff, to me thats cheap compared to AP and Brembo :)

Sounds like you did the right thing and walked away. There doesn't seem to be many later ones about at the moment. There's a few on autotrader. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used/cars/subaru/impreza/postcode/tw75as/radius/1500/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/sort/pricedesc/body-type/hatchback/page/2 I'm sure you'll find your car soon :)

could always use a bit of black tape to cover it up :D

Hm @ 21 my cars would have been a Fiat Super Strada 85 then a Ford Orion 1.6L So badly wanted an XR2i or Escort RS2000 at the time.

I did a 114 mile round trip Motorway and Dual carridgeways and got 28.9mpg on that one. :)

Welcome, Nice car :)

I guess it will depend on if they took it to a main dealer for servicing. Tbh I'm not that knowledgable about it, I bought mine without any thought about it just did the regular checks when buying a car. Luckily I know the dealer that did all the servicing and rang them up to confirm. Also like Jay will get it on the rolling road and remapped just to be sure.

The engine is know to suffer from ringland failure. This was posted on my local forum by an owner and very knowledgeable guy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subaru added the ECU re-flash/amended map to the 'service update' rather than doing a formal recall. The issue only occurred on some cars in some situations i.e. when you hit or got near the rev limiter, so a full recall was not considered necessary Some updated cars (both standard UK STI & 330S) still suffered from ringland failure after the factory re-map, so a bespoke map from someone decent (like JGM) is still a must on the pre 2010 cars if you like to give it some and want peace of mind My 08 hatch STI is making 370bhp and had been absolutely fine for 2 years/30K miles of spirited driving following JGM's fine work --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I own a Type Uk which has been PPP'd (Prodrive Performance Pack) which takes the car upto 330bhp. I believe this is the same mapping as the 330s. The main difference between a 330s and Type UK is that the 330s has Recaro seats, a starter button, Sat Nav and is badged 330s. These badge cars are all Factory cars. The type UK is the same car just without the extra options fitted. The PPP is a dealer fitt option which is just a remap of the ECU. So not all Type UK will be 330bhp When you do buy a car, take it to your local Subaru specialist and ask them to check the mapping on the car and if nessecary tweak it.

Owen depending on distance it might be worth coming along to the surrey Scoobies meet. They meet up at the Fairmile in Cobham, near Sandownrace course every 2nd Sunday of the month. http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/forums/index.php
