Scooby Pete

Woohoo another Hatch. Welcome :)

Hello :)

Looks great but as has been said its not a scooby. RWD most of the car's design by Toyota, sold as 3 different cars, Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and the Scion FRS, it's a schizophrenic. TBH I can't see why Subaru got involved in this, it's a complete side step from their existing range and market and the car is not good enough to bring new owners to Subaru. They have compromised the BRZ too much to get any enthusiasts into it. It seems to occupy an even smaller niche market than the Impreza does. They should have put the money in to a new WRC programme. That's what has sold the car in the past. And why do I keep calling it a BRZee rather than a BRZed?

South east impreza's are pretty good. They bought my car from me and I have bought parts from them in the past. 07891129485

Nice car if you are that picky over the paint it might be worth considering a detailer doing a paint correction on the car, much cheaper than a re-spray and a lot quicker.

Car looks so much better :) 2 points you raised in the thread. The classics pre2000 do not have an OBD connector. There are no plugs for diagnostic machines or any OBD equipment. They have a black and green plug under the dash to diagnose CEL's and thats all :( I posted more details on another thread. The bonnet on the Imports were made as you guessed from aluminium so are much lighter and more sort after. UK cars had steel bonnets.

Yeah I remember that, but I'm old too!! How about this? http://youtu.be/okRea54TE_w

I followed this thread on Surrey Scoobies for doing the Engine. http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=35395 Bought the product from polished Bliss cost about £35.00 http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/ It's not perfect but I needed more shade and a few diff size brushes. 1 tooth brush isn't enough. Here's the Before: ] Here's the After.

I gave the car a good going over yesterday. 1st off I washed it with Auto Glym shampoo conditioner, then went over it with Meguiar's mist and wipe quick detailer and clay bar, then washed it again, then used Auto Glym super resin polish and finished off with Auto Glym extra Gloss protection. Took me about 5-6 Hours and the car looks amazing. .

Yeah I was thinking about this and thought it may be the crank shaft sensor or a leak in the induction system. Do you know how to do the CEL check? There is a green male and black female plug under the steering wheel you connect turn on the ignition and watch the CEL flash like morse code to give you the fault. This thread on scoobynet shows you how and has the fault codes as well. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/general-technical-10/793200-check-engine-light-flashing-help-please.html May point you in the right direction. If you car is the later one with the OBD connector you have to get someone with a reader to check the codes for you.

I 2nd the maff idea, See if a mate who has the same maff can come round and swap them over to test it. You can get mafs pretty cheap these days.

Yeah depends on the MOT tester. Last time on the classic he couldn't get the fog loght to work as he couldnt find the switch. Still passed it though. I do hate that I have yellow sides and white headlights. Think I'm convinving yself to swap out for LED's

Yeah I was thinking of Sidelights in White but I think the law says that the have to be a warmer (orangey) type of white for sidelights. Maybe making that up????

I bought a 7440/7443 Red LED bulb from Ebay. Just plugs in to the existing bulb holder. only cost £5 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7443-7440-T20-13-SMD-5050-Red-Stop-Tail-Brake-Signal-13-LED-Car-Light-Bulb-Lamp-/271106943068?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f1f3ba85c#ht_3739wt_904

Nice car, don't see that many in Red :)

Thought I would share some pics of our Monthly meet. Nice afternoon, not a bad turn out, when the weather gets better we can have upto 40 cars turn up.

Thanks for the Kind words. Unfortunatly the Classics is no more :( Crank shaft oil seal let go, replaced the engine myself, that was a job and a half!! Never got it running 100% and decided to cut my losses. It went to South East Impreza's and got stripped of all the goodies. All Ive done the the HB sofar is Clear fog light and a new head unit.
