stiprodrive

thanks for that bit pissed of more mods coming than not shy on the cash

stiprodrive

bohnjegley

Fair play to you mate, dont be listening too much too every one else, do ya own thing and enjoy. After all thats where the smart money is

stiprodrive

Yes you are very right..I am very new with the subaru's, learning as I go along..I have done all the work to the car myself bar from the techinical side ie ecu re-mapping..I have spent a **** load of cash on this car already (costing £30k) with obviously buying the car and all the bits I have spent on it. The car is only 2 months old . Little bit pissed off with some of the coments on here but maybe I am not explaining myself very well. I can only tell all you guys what I have done to the car and what Abbey have done to the car and tell you what they told me. I am quite a genuine guy and have come on here just to chat about scooby's not to feed anyone any bull****. At the end of the day we all own Scooby's so eberybody's advise is very valuable to me. It just gets a little dishearteing when we all are supposed to be part of the same club and so many people just want to slag each other off.

bohnjegley

when i am next down in Bournmouth we should meet up and have a few beers, your car looks the mut's nut's. Check out this months Max power my scoobie is on the front cover.

Jdub

Yea I agree your Scoob does look very nice stiprodrive, this is why I cant be bothered to get my car put on the rollers, always seems the tuners feed you a load of bull.

I don't think anyone on here really meant to offend you. I definatly didn't. It was just the fact that you were claiming something most people on here know to be unobtainable (from the situation) and so came down on you a bit hard. Lots of people post up stupid claims and it just ends up with people who make mistakes getting a real hard time when they didn't mean to!.
Good luck with the car and i'd listen to any advice you get off a lot of the guys on here.. i've had loads of help with my car from different people on here.. and i guess thats what its all about
Anyway good luck with the car

R32 GTR

Dont agree with you there mate.
My wife has the new scooby. Everytime she has put something about her car she gets slated.
Buch of w@nk@rs on here.
Shame because she loves the scooby.

30k to get a scoob to 280-300 bhp? You are taking the ****. You might as well have gone out and bought a spec C for 20-odd grand.

KIPS

people are to quick to jump down each others throats we all gotta start somewhere

rossi_classicwrx

A lot of it depends on how its written though.. if you brag then people always will come down on you. I as of yet have never come down on me and i signed upto this forum when i first got my car. I got loads of helpfull advice of people on here..
Calling people on here ******* really ain't going to get you anywhere. If you think like that.. then whats the point posting on here..
I personally think theres some really sound and helpfull people on here..
Being big headed and cocky is bound to get people having a go..

To think I was going to pick up a book!, one of the most entertaining thread's in the history of scoobydom......

SPEN555

Thats unfortunate. But the way this bbs is going with the zoints etc (wtf is that all about? I've had a few few e-mails thanking me for introducing people and I have not done anything!!!)

I hope she persists as there are some decent users out there just maybe need to do some research to sort the bad from the good?

Something to hide, or full of merde?

Sorry but you come across like the idiot that posted this:

specs: standard bug eye sti 02 model around 270bhp added full prodrive kit with a raid induction unit and a hks blow off dump value added about an extra 53bhp also fully decated extra 30bhp and had chipped !!!!! just needs a couple of boost controllers which ones is best though????? any ideas just had turbo timer put in aswell just to help the cause...... all the work been done by a team called envy in bedlington quite good really but they normally race skylines and supras but really good for prices if anyone needs work done......also needed the ecu upgraded cause of all the extras added... altogether its only cost me £2500 but the lad before me was a top rally driver supposedly STEVE FLECK and all the paper work he gave states he spent over £3000... plus it fully black apart from windows which will be done next on the list.....

maybe the skyline they normaly do uses a diffent amount of loss, no sure, but your car is definately around the 330 to 340 bhp mark, which is a good road car, my brother had one at 333 stage did a 13.00 at pod see what yours can do to check

Now now Mick people in glass houses and all that Just because you were humbled by an Impreza

Trout

I see that the defintion of a ****** seems to include people who give advice based on running the fastest Impreza in Europe, possibly the world, and probably the tuner who has remapped more Imprezas in the UK than anybody else.

Strange definition -

Probably the same w@nkers who drove Keith out of the TOTB Skyline team because he has easily the fastest Skyline in Europe


Steve,

there are some people on here with a huge amount of advice who can help you get to 400bhp if that is what you want.

Advising someone to fit an HKS ECU for example was probably advice from someone who saw a customer who was 'not shy on the cash'.

It is possible to run 400bhp on the standard ECU using the right mapper who is experienced with Subaru.

Look in the projects section and you will see how people have done it.

Sssh mate lest you are classed as a ****@r! Mr.Begley is a very a bitter man. Notwithstanding that Jun Superlemon is an awesome car it was humbled by Andy F.'s Impreza. Then again maybe that was more to do with his driving skills than the car

Trout

I thought that in Japan the Lemon did a low 9s run - or was it in the 8s. All I know is that Tim kept buying Skylines that were VERY fast in Japan but he always got better results with hsi own original NUR Spec.

They are all awesome cars.

As for being a newbie, I have owned Impreza's for nine year's. When I joined this forum and put up a thread I was slated for trying to do something different. People on here are very clicky. I still sign in now and again to see what is going on or search the forum for an awnser to a problem.

R32 GTR

Not at all, I have 2 Scoobys of my own.

Mick

R32 GTR

I have beeten the best time the car has ever done.
10.2.

R32 GTR

I wont be coming on here again.
Bunch of clicky *****.
Very fast to judge others.
Keyboard warriors.

You are the one who bandied the insults. Calling everyone a bunch of w@nkers, don't let the door smack your **** on the way out.

Maz

Quick question for you Mick if you're still lurking, do you concede that Andy's car is faster than yours?

ZEN Performance

Hmmm, let me see, Andy.F at 9.3 vs Lemon at 10.2. DO you expect mick to lie? The Lemon is a full up road car, not a race car.

You don't need to be Einstein to be an armchair racer!

stiprodrive, Just be happy with the 290+hp at the hubs, it's a good figure, and the graph looks like it should drive well on the road. If anyone asks what power it makes, you can say it makes 296(?) at the hubs and leave it at that. There will be plenty of people that will assume near 400hp and those that will say near 350. But you've got your benchmark now so like bohnjegley says, just enjoy it.

Sweepickit

Having called us all w@nkers and tw'ts I think it's best you take your flying banana and **** off. And learn to spell Bournemouth. It's writtem on a lot of signs around here to help you out.

STiprodrive, basically Rannoch said what I would have put, they saw you coming and ripped you off on the ECU and possably some other bits?
Always look into what you want doing by people who do that sort of vehicle all the time and dont just look local, look around the country.
A guy at work needs a clutch and flywheel for his scoob, he was quoted from 975 quid to 1300 quid, i got him a quote of 705 quid (from a main dealer) which opened his eyes (and yes they are probably one of the best if not THE best subaru authorised dealers in the country ) and they also do remapping and other bits
Always remember that advice is free, ring about before buying and those people who normally do work on lots of scoobs will give you the info you need, not out and out guess work or stupid figures and silly bits like "oh you need xxx ecu fitting because its better than your standard one and we can do more with it and we cant remap your standard one etc etc etc".
Enjoy your car (though a JDM one would have been considerably better value and more fun ) and dont go do places that dont do scoobs, its like taking a mondeo to a peugeot speciallist

check your own spelling before telling others( WRITTEM )there you go, sort it out.
