Default New Member looking to buy first scooby

Hi guys, great website you have here

Anyway im looking to get my first scooby.
Iv just sold my 635bhp mr2 turbo and im looking for something more usable/reliable with more seats
I like the look of the blobeye and hawkeye sti. Ideally with a ppp and some bolt on mods.

Would you recommend going for a 2.5 (i think they are 2006 on?) on the 2.0 (pre 2006?) I had a read through the engine faliure sticky about the 2.5 which was a bit worrying. Also im not sure if i should get a uk car or a import?

Any advice you have would be great.

My names Dave by the way and im based in wales

Default scooby

Hi again. Im based in swansea, Wales.

Yes the mr2 was fun, but hard to keep in a straight line

Havent really thought about the amount to spend yet as it depends on the model.

It has to be a blobeye or a hawkeye got to be an sti and originally i thought the newer the better, but after seeing the 2.5l engine problems I dont know if i should go for the 2.0 instead. Any ideas guys
