I am back!!!!!

[arthur t]

Sooooooo,

I had a WRX PPP wagon which I sold and bought a S3.... 9momths later I lost £3,000 and struggled to sell it.
Amazing car but Very dull..

Now looking back a Sti's JDM's... So back to the madnesses

This is what takes my fancy at present...

Happy to be back !

[arthur t]

Good work gents,

You are right it's a limited addition PS JDM.

Knew I should have covered the number plate up...

Doh.

Yea it's had some suspension tweets to reduce the under steer,

The twin scroll is Amazing and I know wish I had bought a JDM many yrs ago as the UK turbo is Rubbish as it runs out of puff while the twin scroll just keeps giving...

I am glad you all like the car anyway.

[arthur t]

Anybody who has not had / driven a twin scroll do so ASAP .... U mey sell your car after your trip ;-)

Please do not give me "yea but mine has been remapped & makes 1 Milllllllion BHP" it's not about BHP it's about delivery ..

[arthur t]

Not sure,

But it's great fun to drive ;-)

Looked at the spec C and I like this better due to noise and real life.

[arthur t]

That's right, not bought yet.

Collecting it on Sat... Very excited about :

A) having a real drivers car.

B) having a car that is "different" as I have started to notice that lack of Scooby on the road recently.

[arthur t]

Picked the car up today and have already been introduced to the people at shell....

What a cracking car with so much raw grunt!

It's a real Animal...

[arthur t]

It has this silly little "Shell card tray" which may become very useful.

This is just a play toy and not needed for "normal life" ... It's has to be said the 3" exhaust is bonkers loud at full chat.

Congrats - that's my 'old' car

And yes, it is missing its splitter (I went through a couple)

Yea, I heard.

Seems I have kept it in the Scoobynet family lol.

I have a Massive A4 folder of every past receipt, amazing history.

Did you put the Bonkers 3" exhaust on it!

Got to get mufflers in that, or I could be def in 3 months.

Amazing car, thank you for looking after it before me.

[arthur t]

Tooooo fast??

Nope have not found that yet.

I took it out the other night to do a tunnel run and wow, That engine at full bore is just Bonkers!

You are right, sounds like a jet fighter.

Really cheap to insure as well.

Will keep you informed... Also new front lip bought..

Well that will last at lease a week I think.

Sweet. One of the best Scoobies I ever had. The engineering synergy made for an almost telepathic ride.

And as for that 2l twin scroll...

Enjoy

Hay there,

Bloody hell yours looks clean!

Mines more driven than garage queen, took it to watch Classic Spa 2 months ago and it's quite sensible. You can even fit things in the boot!

I picked it up tonight from Datum Motor Sport, had:
- two new rear bearings
- drive flange
- new oil
- new trans oil
- new Gio setup.

Back on track and driving amazing again!

;-)

Bonkers car, love it!

Who did you go to insurance for? I've had some quote varying by over £300 with mods declared obv from 'specialists' to household name companies.

I am with Direct line.

Seems reasonable at the moment, buts look around when it finishes.

[arthur t]

No the suspension has been swapped back to RB320 setup before I bought it, handles really well.

I am part of a driving club so I drive it only on a Sunday normally, but have already covered some great drives.


It's a 59k at the moment, but will no doubt be going up as looking at more driving holidays.

I had a S3 for 9 dull months, within 9 sec of driving this I was hooked !

The twin scroll makes the car, as I have had a WRX PPP ... But this is just bonkers!

Quite funny as I am a business man, so turning up to a meeting in a suit then getting out of the STi really confuses people.

Question you both maybe able to help with, the rear diff is makes a low rumble, does this have a std STi rear diff? Or is it a special?

Cheers.
