Well, except for a post regarding the surging on my car, I am a newbie on this forum. Seems to me like its full of Scooby mad people like me!!
I have a MY 99 GT (thats what the WRX is called here is SA) and I have owned this car for 5 months now, I can say that I am totally hooked and I love my car to bits!

This really looks like a cool place and I will be posting more in the future. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I live in South Africa, but I am of Italian origin

So tell me everybody, whats hot and whats not here??????

 

I'll tell you what's not hot......Co55ie. Read the M3 post if you want a laugh!!!

Welcome aboard, would say we might bump into each other at a meeting someday but I can't see that given where you live

 

Thanks dude, well I actually like M3`s and Cissies, but I happen to like Scoobies more, so I guess its alright. About meeting at a show, well you never know!!!
Thanks for the welcome.
What car you have??

 

UK Impreza Turbo MY99 with a scoobysport back box and a dawes.

Agreed to buy scoobysport downpipe and centre section today.....can't wait

 

Thats cool. I bought mine stock standard, well, I have done a lot on it now, including a PPP ECU and 3" straight through performance exhaust with twin downpipe, sounds wicked!!......

 

Nice, change that ECU though! PPP is for girls

 

I know, but we dont have much choice down here

 

John Banks/ECUTEK could sort you out with a TEC2 ECU I'm sure.

 

I know, problem is that our local currency sucks and anything ex UK turns out to be damn $$$$$$$$

 

Ah, bummer. You've started modifying already though so the slope will get you..........it's just a matter of time

 

There is nothing wrong with the PPP ecu
If you care to check out Banzai magazine when they had the scoobynet rolling road day (its the one with the norris designs evo5 on the cover ) you will see a MY00 which is running a PPP ecu pushing out 280odd bhp
Good eh

Tony

 

Saxo boy, I have done a lot on the car so far, here is a rough list:

3" exhaust with twin downpipe
Cold air induction kit with K&N airfilter
PPP ECU
Electronic Boost Controller
Leaded compatible Lambda sensor (to run 102RON leaded)
STi boost gauge
STi clutch kit
STi rear wing
STi front lip
17" Prodrive P1 wheels
Goodridge braided hoses
STi rear light clusters
Front and side clear indicators
Brake booster support bracket
DBA front discs

Still wanna do a few things, eg VF23 etc etc.........

 

102 RON....not fair!!! I see the mod slope has already got you big time

 

Yep, we can get 102RON leaded racing fuel from the fuel depots, only thing is its bloody expensive!!!

 

Do you have a flame throwing Alarm system or are the reports I have seen of them in SA make up?



Welcome by the way

JGM

 

Flame throwing alarm I got to get me one of those Bummer if you set if off by mistake though!

 

Yeah I have seen pictures of it..

You try and break in and it blows flames out the sides.. the pictures showed it fitted to a BMW.. I am sure it was a photoshop jobbie but it said they were available and legal for use in S.A.

??



JGM

 

Looks like the BMW GTR featured in this months EVO has had one of those bad boys fitted!

 

Hi Pitzi,

Welcome to the madhouse mate, glad to see you made it on here at last, seen one or two of the other SA guys posting on here as well.

BTW you should post your pictures in the members gallery if you havent already.

cheers

chrisp

 

No dude, I aint got a flame thrower, but somerimes I really wish I had!!!!

ChrisP, thanks for the welcome mate, you will see my reason for my "emigrating" on the Cartoday BB site. Hope it will be better on this side!!

Only problem I am experiencing is that I cannot access the BBS codes or smilies, I get an error on page.

Will post the pics when I can access the BBS

 

Hi, Just wanted to keep this thread up the top as everytime I look at the title it reminds me of Dr.Nicks catchphrase from the Simpsons and cracks me up!

 

Strangely it reminds me of the Jive Bunny track which has "come on everybody, come on everybody, lets sing this song" on it...

Dunno why as it clearly says "Hello everybody"

Did I type that out load?

Doh..

JGM

 

Welcome mate!
Mossman


Where abouts in Italy are you from ? I lived in Sauze, nr Sestriere for two seasons! SUPERB

 

Hi Mossman, I am born in Roma, but unfortunately only lived there up to the age of 5, when my parents moved to africa.

Can anybody help me with the BBS codes or smilies, I cannot access the pages, it gives me an error message?????
