What Bits Would You Add Tooo make It A Little Better??
Before I got my first Scoob, I was pretty much into SAABS.
Then I saw the light!
I was on a long trek to Lincs from Worcs today, there and, back in a day and, the bum ached a bit after this trip.
I remembered that the SAAB seats were the "Canines Gentilia" in comfort & support.
Then, I got to thinking, (Being Dead Honest With Each Other) what bits would you add to your Scoob, (If you could) to make it, absolutely the Top Bit Of Kit Around?
So, I'll start the ball rolling, with putting Swedish Seats in place of Scooby seats.
What other bits then??
Regards.
Alan MaC

Would depend on the model you have
My MY06 STi I love seats in mine, did 600 miles in 3 days no problem
Red led rear lights not shiney silver Lexus style
Folding Heated door mirrors
Rear washwipe on UK's
Better security
Non sqealing brakes
Better Audio
or just faster and better handling
so we can still moan about something LOL
IMHO

Agree with T5NYW on the audio point, I mess about with mine constantly then usually end up turning it off. Thats next on my list of "fixes".
I generally like the rest of the car though. I'm not too bothered if its not the fastest or the most powerful, the main point for me is that its still different enough that it doesnt look or sound like every other bland-mobile on the road these days.
But I couldnt agree more with Prasius on the paint comment. They've just re-surfaced a road near me, and I trundled down it at about 10mph the other day, only to have some stupid kent in a range rover go roaring past me at 40-50mph.
It now looks like my car was involved in some kind of drive-by shooting, I'm gutted.

Good Stuff.
Any wag on here, good enough with computer jiggery pokerey, able to visualise some of the suggestions so far (ones that you can see, how do you show paintwork before & after?) and turn them into images that we can see?
Recarro seats, Saab Seats, Hi fi's, Wheel arches, spoliers etc.
Thanks.
regards.

An ANTI-chav/pikey/thieving-scum/boy-racing-idiot magnet.
Oh, OK then, being serious .... Turbo spool from <2.5K rpm and an exhaust system that's quiet unless giving it the beans.

The paint thing.
Heated electronic folding door mirrors.
Heated front seats.
Gauges as standard.
Front splitter as standard.
All things I came to expect when owning a 350z and that is in the same price range. The stereo, satnav and leather interior on the spec D are good so no complaints there.

YES!
Hardly asking for the world is it?
Pushing out the boat a little more though..
Auto-window wipers would be nice.. and yes, I was one of those people who had a 306 hire car and said "wow, what a stupid idea.. whats the point in that!? I know when its raining!" - and then fell in love with them when we hit the first bit of drizzle!
Folding wing mirrors. Oh - and the JDM rear wash/wipe on all Imprezas please (ahh.. thats why they're making a hatchback!).
