Welcome again Kev.

Just a few things to remember with your Scoob.

They sup loads of petrol - just as much to do with the right foot

Dont say you'll leave it standard - 'cos you wont

When you first drive it you'll turn into a babbling idiot telling everyone and anyone that who will listen how great it is.

Your mates will think your weird and disown you when you go the whole hog and turn up with a Subaru jacket matching cap with a Scooby Doo dog on yoru back parcelshelf.

Prepare for an addiction - although an enjoyable one

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I can't wait until next Friday to pick the car up and its staying as it is for a while until I get used to how rapid it is. I've also got a FTO GPX which I thought was quite quick until last night

It has red top engine, running standard ecu and map but has different downpipes, scoobysport exhaust and K&N filter.

Roll on next Friday!!!!

The STI red top is a cracker - when funds allow get a remap, you'll notice a big difference. (well i did anyway)

How much will the remap cost me?
Will I need a replacement ECU or can the standard ECU be mapped?

The stupid questions have started

Then you have one of the best mappers on your doorstep.

Bob Rawle is a very well respected mapper.
