I love the colour. :mrgreen:

Stunning bit of kit matey :nod::nod::nod:

very nice, i like the colour as well :)

don't want to know how many hours went into that to transform it from the rolling shell into the car it is now, serious amount of work!

I like the colour


If you dont like it, you could always swap scoobs with me

Thats an amazing transformation mate, hats of to you :)

Its sort of like WR1 colour, like marmite you either do or dont.
Besides that,its a wicked car for sure,very diferent in that colour.
:10:

:drive:
loving the colour:agreed:

491hp not too shabby either:10: bet its as safe as houses too:razz:

MrsX leaves our car like that too:wink:

Enjoyed the ride round Goodwood on monday in it :smile:

I only stopped at 491 as it broke a rear driveshaft on the dyno.. no had time to get it back on there again.. it is quicker now than it was then.. and stripped 5th last week.. oops..
but it sat outside ready to play this weekend :)

Simon

wasn't actually that bad.. I had it up and running within a month of starting just using my spare time and drove it from Kent to York for Scoobyshootout. Funny enough the shell came from york. Then the usual changed and alterations whilst it is in use.

I have since gone from the 2.5L to 2.35L and had the engine bay sprayed whilst the engine was out. Can't decide whether to put the 2.5 in the daily driver or not at the moment.

I also have a GT35R turbo in the garage for it but cannot decide whether to stick with current setup as is feels so nice at 500ish.

Simon

You know you want to go 2.5 with the T 8-)

Hello Jgm. I can see you like your Scoobs 8-) Can i ask why you havent botherd with the Evo's ? Ie owning one, i can see by your website that you map them. :doubleup:

Simon did have one and saw the errors in his ways and came back from the Dark side .
So remember it is not to later !:razz:

I had an evo 6 for nearly a year.. was a very nice car but I never felt attached to it in anyway.. went well.. handling was superb.. dunno why.. maybe too many scoobs (had 5).
I had a scoob and an evo at the same time and just found myself going for the scoob keys all the time..

Simon

Thats fair enough mate. I put the Scoob down as a better day to day car :doubleup: Now can i ask i have a std Evo 8 Mr 340. what sort of figures can you squeeze from it? :idea:

Is that a 2.35 stroker kit ?
If so do you get an occasional puff of smoke on start up, which I think is due to the extra stroke exposing an oil way by the gudgeon pin or sumink !!!!

Thinking of building a stroker, but not sure I could tolerate the embarassing smoke on start.

its not a stroker kit as such.. in that I didn't buy a kit.. but yes it is a 2.5 crank and custom rods and pistons to suit in an ej22T (closed deck 97mm block with oil squirters).
The block was machined to take the newer crank and I have 14mm WRC spec head studs and the 2nd wildest cams I have ever played with.. lol
I have carrillo rods, je pistons. I went over board really and just went for best of the best..
it is 600+ capable.. cossie baffle plate, baffled sump, cossie cambelt guide, kevlar cambelt, vernier pulleys, cermaic coated headers, turbo is standard fitment but I rotated it anyway..
I don't get oil smoke no.. this engine doesn't use a drop.. yes the oil control rings pass the gudgeon pin inspection holes.. but doesn't appear to be an issue..

as to embarressing - the twin plate clutch is very very loud on this one (os giken) and the cams mean an idle of 1200rpm.. currently I am altering the driveway so it gets parked up on a raised bit of the drive which means diagonally two wheels off the ground spinning or a run up lol.. neighbours love me.

Simon

probably got build pics somewhere if interested (but it might just be me that eats and breaths this stuff everyday and then comes home and does his own :))

can't beat build pics:nod:


get'em up:grin:

Build pics would be excellent.:doubleup:

simons scoobie
 

very nice car mate hopefully mine will look like that one day....
and hopefully go like it too

looks good mate nice colour too :10:

Nice looking car, it turned out nice :doubleup:
Now i see where they got the colour for the WR1's from, yes get those biuld pictures up.

Simon,
I posted on 22B but maybe you can help here.
What would you recommend for a rebuild STi 8 block, that currently has good crank and block but knackered pistons.
I would like to go largest capacity possible for the extra torque.
considering doingitmyself as would like to pick up some mechanical skills.
Done most things over the years as you know but have never stripped or rebuilt a block.
If you wanna start this as another thread in technical, we can do that.

2.5 crank, custom rods and pistons 2.1L... I would only bore it for the next pistons.. won't gain by boring it larger due to the bore thickness..

If you don't do many miles and want torque go 2.5

Simon

just remembered this car is in the "R" in this pic ;)

i thought i'd seen it before, i wasn't far away ;)

excellent read mate, got any more plans?:drive:

as always.. wider track and I have a GT35R in the garage along with twin scroll tubular manifold and rotated up and downpipe.. 600bhp potential :)

600bhp sounds like a nice round figure :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Very very nice mate...

Could you do mine next..... lol

yeah sure, I'll sort you a quote ;) :D

unlike me to tease....... but..... changes are a foot ;)

Not fair :mrgreen:

What you up to now I wonder :ninja:

And very nice they sound :geek:

shhhhhhhh........ ;)

what plans you got now mate? :ninja:

Must be a very loud thing :norty:

what you got now?

Your secret is safe :nod:
