hi new to the forum and to scooby ownership, my names cal from leeds and i have just bought my first scooby, bought the car as a project off a mate, it is knocking at bottom end and i heard that the shells are a common fault so took the risk and bought it cheap.

hi mate, from kippax
im needing a clutch kit,one of the bottom engine mounts, intercooler pipe (plastic one from intercooler to turbo) so far lol

 

clutch wise most people use exedy (depends what power your after)and theres usually a group buy on scoobynet which means you get it alot cheaper,theres loads for sale stuff in the selling sections.
parts places there is scoobyworld,scoobyparts,scoobybits,scoobyclinic,ja p parts and loads more I cant think off
get it up and running and come to one of our meets

 

Hi there matey, welcome to the WYIOC! I think that might be my old scooby ya have there!

 

Parts wise if you wana go used there's a good breakers in mirfield!
This is there eBay shop but they haven't got anything on at the moment!

chieftain333 cheers im going to go for exedy as i have heard they are good, just clicked that link for aztec and the clutch kit is at a good price so far so good i heard parts were stupidly expensive but not found it too bad so far, thanks for all comments

 

Sure i've seen this car in Lofthouse/Rothwell, Enjoy

 

Welcome to the forum

 

you might have bud my m8 had it before me and he lives in next street, were from kippax so not far,

 

An when I had it I wa Wakefield an our lass lived in lofthouse outwood area!

 

might be a daft question lol but is it quick? and does it drive well lol as i havnt drove it yet, just took the risk and bought it as a project lol

 

Seems to be lots of impreza owners in our area, but i don't see any on the road

 

because no-one can afford to put the fuel in to get them moving

 

No Andy, I got petrol just no clutch or gearbox in it

 

you`ll get there soon enough fella,bet your itching to get it back!

 

Deffo mate, I tried my best to keep up last night
Managed to stay in front of Gary though so dint do too bad

 

yeah well thats not hard.....gary drives like a girl,I bet some one a pushbike could keep in front of him (sorry gary)

 

been a busy night tonight, strip the engine down, removed both heads, split block in half, remove pistons and got the crank out, only found one shell that had been damaged so hopefully the crank shouldnt be too damaged, but i wont know until i take it to the engineers tomorrow so fingers crossed, heres a few pics





the boot at the minute lol


and after a quick tidy up
just take in that this is only half of the engine except the pistons theres double of everything here lol




and this is the offending object that was causing all the knocking and the reason i have had to strip the whole thing down lol



but hopefully all will go well tomorrow with engineers. We use them alot through work so they said they will do me it cheap, also if its repairable they already have a crank and conrod from a scooby they did a couple of years back that the guy never came back for so they will do me an exchange as their crank is all repaired and reshelled and ready to be fit

 

wow thats properly gone!! good luck getting it all back up and running again

 

cheers mate i need the luck lol

 

all the best cal,im new on here too.from dewsbury...

 

cheers bud, cant wait till mines up and running then i can join in the yorkshire meets

 

Greetings Guys....

Best of Luck with that Cal.

Have you searched the parts section on here for a long engine? might save you a few pennies... just a thought..

HTH

no mate but its worth a look thanks i got a realy good deal (i think) for £300 im getting a reground crank, new bearings, 4 pistons and now he has chucked me 2 heads in that he has skimmed and pressure tested and checked over valves etc .. which i think is a realy good deal, just need to sell my car now because im dying to get the scooby on road

 

Did you swap the modine ? You don't want any bearing debris spoiling that re-built motor !

dunx

P.S. Re-mapping is very model specific, you need to add more details of your car on t'other thread !

 

not yet bud just sold my other car so im buying the parts i need now but i will be replacing it, also i will be looking into and uprated oil pump as these are the reason the bearings go arnt they? i dont realy know much about these engines tbh its the first scooby i even look under bonnet on lol it was an impulse buy always wanted one and new i could fix it, so any advice would be very appreciated
