Laser Geometry Alignment check and adjustment to the correct settings has to be the cheapest [£80 to £100] and best value for money mod you can do to a scooby. You can't benifit from extra power if you don't have precision handling...

there's a thought!

That's not a modification.... that's high-tech maintenance! You're not changing any bits, are you?

I want the Volk Racing LE37T wheels - http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/parts/rays/vr_se37.html - but I'm pretty sure those prices are per wheel. So it's not gonna happen.

Bit of a fantasy engine really...Probably a legacy 3.0 block, bored to 92mm so it can use STi 2.0 pistons, thus giving 8.0:1ish compression. That presuming they fit the rods...I never had one apart, so I'm just guessing

Then you'd put two umptytroidal turbos on it, no doubt . Sequential or in parallel?

Would the 3.0l block go in the scoob's engine bay? Wouldn't you be looking at even more of the understeer that you hate?

I'll make it fit...even if it means putting the radiator in the boot

I'm still toying with superchargers . It would depend how well that extra 1.2 litres pull at low revs off-boost. One big turbo...or Two small ones, or maybe one small and one big, hmmm

Understeer well they already do that, so it'll never be perfect. Could fit some fat tyres on the front and some skinny one on the rear - should balance things out

Uprated headlight bulbs or some treatment to the dash to stop it reflecting and distracting when it's sunny.

Can't decide between a full set of Defi's or a PRodrive WR wing.

...but I'd settle for all the nuts and bolts being tightened up properly...

CARPUTER

7" Touchscrenn with P4 2.8Ghz cpu, wi-fi, cdrw, sat nav, ECUTEK - delta dash (road dyno ECU tuning software).

Best upgrade ive done yet and best of all it looks stock when the screen is modified to fit in the 2U space.



Delta dash software running above



Side shot

Eibach lowering springs are next along with geometry then finally a re-map at TSL.
