and still have the money left for fuel for about a year maybe 2

 

seems to be something fishy with it! anyone notice on the last photo there's a grill in front of the fmic but it has no grill in the earlier photos? or is it just the light that's deceiving me.

 

Domino is a well respected Admin of our local site, not sure on his exact spec but i will point him back in the direction of this thread so he can answer any doubters.

 

I saw this ad on ebay too and email the guy about how he got 500bhp out of a SC400. This is what he had to say...

"Honestly don't know mate we were all suprised when it ran on the dyno we put it down to the car being a 3.0 instead of it being a 2.5"

I was under the impression that bigger displacement made less lag but bhp stayed the same, anyone know if this is true?

 

Well a bigger displacement can result in more power but you are still limited by the boost pressure. Unless his intake is really good or the mappers don't calculate the efficiency correctly or his engine has a ridiculously low amount of friction it's unlikely.

 

3.0?? WTF?

Doesnt mention that anywhere on the advert and who the hell would want a 3.0 4 pot?

 

is that the owner ?

didnt read that part so it's a 3.0 ?

 

More like HOW the hell has he got 3 litre's out of a subaru ej lump?

 

yep +2 bryn ask domino to reply mate

 

i wonder if its using a ez30 six pot sc40 though ,

just reread the spec list ,thats a no then,

 

Something doesn't add up here I think

 

Lovely arty-farty atmospheric pictures.Ideal for a perfume advert.F*cking useless if you want to sell a car.

 

ring up tileys of bristol,,subaru main dealer and ask them how much steve davies (me) has spent with them and im sure they would be willing to give you a rough idea on the spot,,,,60k is just my receipts form them and ill post up a pic of one bill from them tomorrow just to show you one of the builds i had done and iv had a few,,,and as far as spending money on scoobs ,,,,one of my mates spent over 80k and didnt even finish the project and another mate that i know has spent more than me on his classic

 

and just for everyones info im still not finished and im planning to spend a lot more getting the car how i want it,,,research and development costs money and im planning on keeping the car so what iv spent doesnt matter realy

 

so your not selling i know cost mount up can you post some better pic's and full spec please would love to come and see it some time

 

sonicvr6, just to clarify domino46 is not the owner of the one for sale on piston heads,hes replying to mattyb1983 about spending 60k+ on his scoob over time.
mattyb1983 asked about his spec

 

I didn't say in my post that YOU have not spent a huge amount of money on your car fella. I actually said that 9 out of 10 people who quote huge figures are actually way off what they have actually spent.
You don't need to start posting pictures of bills etc chap to prove your spend..
Would love to see a spec list though fella, you must have one hell of a motor after 60 large....

 

+1

 

It's running a stock wrx box cv's just blown supposidly a 3.0 scooby clinic conversion and it owes him 100k his a local lad says its 500 on a sc40 lol his had all sorts done to it but done 5-6 times over pics equal fail car looks nice that about it

 

3.0 linerd cdb block he claims

 

sorry been a long day lol and i know how cost's mount up mrs informed me today that we've spent 4k in the last 6 week's on are's and you know what i didnt even relies

i want to do that can i get one of them magic turbo's that give 100extra bhp to go with it ?

 

I agree that costs do mount up. 10K is pretty much a given in these to see a reliable 400. But we are talking house money here chaps.
With 60/70/80K spends then you really will have one hell of a motor in your garage.

 

tell me about it to be far i'm not sure what everything come's to the bloke that stared the build on my car spent a fair bit plus what we've done think it's upto about 12k minus all the bit's that have been sold as upgrades have been done and we're almost there just need's the simtek mapping hoping to see 400bhp or close to it then just a paint job and maybe meth if i dont see 400 but all thats only 1-2k more and thats for 400bhp!!! and a full paint job for less than for less than 16k with buying the car in the 1st place

 

here you go guys jsut a bit of the paperwork for my car,,,,all the blue and yellow ones are main dealer,,,iv only taken pics of a few of the bills as im not going though them all just for your benefit ,,,iv left out all my other ones like RCM and stuff as the 60k that i spoke of is what i have spent with the main dealer and doesnt include the 11k when i brought the scoob,,,you can do a bit of adding up with just what iv took pics of

 

Domino FTW

 

just to add they are old pics of the car as you can see my old tiny brembos on there lol

 

Strange thread this.

I quite like the look of the original black car this was posted about. Am also intrigued to see a full spec list of the car and some proper rolling road graphs. Can see how a 3.0 litre would make a little more power over a 2.5 but it seems unlikely it would make 100 more than the turbo has been previously rated and tested to.

Be very interesting to see some more detail if the seller is reading this?

By the way. GLWTS. Lol

p.s. Nice Blob mate!

 

to be honest if i even thought id spend that on the scoob when i went to buy it i prob wouldnt have bothered but i love the car now and spending money on it feels like i buying my kid new things ( i havnt got a kid),,,,my mrs is very good with everything aswell and when i told her im prob looking at spending another 30-40k she didnt even blink so i got her a 1 carrat diamond ring and asked her to marry me (that was 4 weeks ago and im still chuffed about it)

 

Has that guy used the first camera ever invented to take those pics ?
What a shame its a smart looking car he should have spent £5 more on a throw away camera it would have done a better job...

 

Give £25k to rich at FBtuning and he will build you a 600+bhp monster.

With 50k I'm pretty sure you'll be heading towards a super car spec

This guy must have been giving his money away without any research
