Default Looking to get a scoob again! help/info pls!

Hi guy/gals been reading on scoobynet again as im looking into one im currently driving a clio 182 doing a few track days this summer i hope il be hoping to do the same in the scoob so looking for opinions on coilovers for fast road use and light track,I have had alot of great cars in short space of time i had a WRX STI 8 PPP (53reg) blue i loved it, It was standard apart from vortex BB

This time round iv got a little list of things id like to do to the next one i want to get it the way i want this time!

looking for an 05 reg Blobeye low miles standard or lightly tuned,

What i really wanted to know is the difference between the one i had and the 05 regs what extras/changes did they get??

im in kent area is there any places that are well know for parts and tuning etc

i will add more questions no dout!

look forward to getting myself a nice one soon and get to some meets!

cheers
Jay

I don't think that many changes were made to be honest,
the only ones that i can think of are,
wheels, pdc changed from 100 to 114
track, rear track was widened
diff, 2005 has dccd
I think that's about it mate.

OK thats great just wanted to know even if it was minor changes is the diff control like in the 2008 hatchs? can you move the power front to back?

What sort of price should i be looking at for a nice low mileage one? 2005 reg 10k-11k?

cheers

Yes you can move the power distribution bias back and forth to suit different conditions/driving styles
take a look here this will give you some idea of prices
give Rich a call he knows his scoobs and hes a very nice helpfull man.

That's Ashford middlesex mate near Heathrow,
when you say Ecutek do you mean a remap if so JGM (jolly green monster)
he's the man when it comes to remaps,
and the best bit is Simon is a great bloke (nothing is too much trouble)
and comes to you.
