Hi everyone

I'm looking for my 1st scooby and at the ripe old age of 50 it's never to late to be a boy racer ha ha ha or a petrol head as I've always been

Got 7-7.5k to spend but I'm only looking for a STI blob eye (scooby blue with gold wheels) as I just don't care for the bug eye look yuk yuk yuk but that's my taste and hope I don't offend any owners as taste is taste.

I'm in no rush and I no what I want and I'm willing to sit tight till the right one comes along as I've been and done the panic buy only to regret it later and I suppose age as something to do with me being a bit more picky in what I'm after.

Right enough of the waffle

Hi and welcome to SES

Thanks Sam for the welcome :22b:

As I can't access the for sale thread yet if any members are selling or no of anyone selling what I'm looking for can they PM me if it's allowed and if not apology,s

Welcome Garry, you'll get lots of good advice on here re your next purchase . I'm sure someone will know of a good blob STI for sale.

Offence taken :nono: pmsl !!!

Hi and welcome to SES :ok:

Hope you find the motor you are looking for - keep us all informed! :ok:

Hello and welcome to SES, blob Sti is a good choice, a Widetrack version would be a wise move if you can find a good one in your price bracket (2005>).

Welcome to SES. Hope you find something soon that meets your requirements.

Hi and welcome good choice of car to start off with but black is the new blue btw .

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and advice so keep it coming as im the oldest scooby noob lol

You're not as old as some people on here :whistle:

If I was in the market for another one I'd certainly be looking at a blob STI unless I could find a really clean bug (looks aren't everything, just as well in my case).

Hello and welcome, (59 year old blob owner)

Hello and :welcome:

Thanks again for the welcome and good to no I'm not the on 50+ on this forum and a blob sti is the only way for me to go 👍😎

Howdy do and welcome to the over 50's club :grin: :five:

:welcome: to SES. From a 59 years young WR1 driver...:doubleup:

It's just a number..:nod:

Good luck with your search. I didn't get my first Scoob until I was in my mid-40s, so a few of us were late starters. Mind you, that was nearly 17 years ago! And I'm by no means the oldest on here.

Widetrack blob a good choice if you have the budget.

Hello and welcome - from a BUGEYE owner!

:welcome: to SES fella ;)

Again thanks for the warm welcome everyone I feel loved at last lol

Search still ongoing and im now open to even the bug eye monstrosity (tin hat at the ready again :-0) lol

With the right front Grille and a set of STI lights the Bug-eye isn't actually 'that' ugly! A std WRX front end on the other hand!

If you can find a good prodrive Bugeye it should hold its value quite well as well.

Now that looks really really nice and im impressed honest.

Agree the stock wrx bug eye is fugly as hell but ive looked at a few sti versions and im liking what im seeing :-)

You never no I could be converted to the bug eyed side after all my slander earlier on ha ha

Must admit, the bug eye grew on me when my brother had his.

What do you think guys as ive just brought this absolutely stunning scooby and trust me the pictures do not do this car justice and the interior is just as lush aa the outside :-)

Oh and the good thing is I've got a 5 hour journey home so we can get to no each other and to say im excited is a blinking understatement guys.

Will sort some more pics out later and now best I concentrate on what I'm doing and where im heading or I could end up in Scotland lol

Welcome to ses. Nice choice

Mmm nice looking car

Oh look..............a bug! Ha ha ha

Joking apart it looks mint and very tidy! Congrats and be sure to pop along to a meet soon :ok:

Get choice, the S202 grille is imho the best grille for the bugeye.

Now for the decision - fog light covers or not?

Nice work, that looks lovely, really good choice, nice wheels and Defi gauges too do I see?

Nice purchase there, looks in great condition :ok:

Not seen that style of splitter before with the indentation along the centre on a bugeye, looks good.

Welcome and looks like a nice scoob you ended up with :doubleup:

The bugs definitely a grower, really disliked them right up until the day I ended up buying one!

Thanks guys she is (A BUG BUG BUG BUG) very nice and taking a bit of getting used to :-)
Just washed her today as she was filthy from the trip but looking good I might add.

To me the blue is a tad darker on the actual car which is an added bonus I can tell u :-)

Thanks again for the messages guys I feel privileged as a complete noob..

Have no idea on a s202 grille but will have a look

As for covers NO

Could change my mind as I like that look but we are all different and have different tastes but u can never rule anything out

Thanks alot and your eye sight hasnt failed u and yes defi gauges with the box of tricks for it down by my seat :-)

If I miss anyone out I haven't replied to my apologies and again thanks for the messages :-)

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Thanks mate and no exactly where ur coming from with the bug look as I just didn't like it full stop lol
And like you I've ended up buying one 👍😎

That looks great from the front too, as others have said splinter looks great I like!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great,I really like that :ok:

Thanks Rdlangy

I no we had a bit of banter over the fugly bug eye but I must admit I'm taken by it big time and don't no if it's the added splitter at the bottom but it really works on the car.

It's in very good condition but has a few marks here and there which are age related which I really hate that term for them lol as I've been looking for a while now and it's age related marks here and age related marks there and why don't they say it's got a few stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet which mine has and oh it's got a little blemish here and there and I little light scratch as mine has and being a darker colour it shows but only close up.

The interior is what impresses me as its near on flawless and with the added defi gauges and the box of tricks that goes with it and a nice turbo timer that adjust to how long the engine needs to shut off and has a mode to change it to for battery voltage/RPM 0-60 timer which I doubt will ever be used and it might have a few more things but can't remember off the top of my head.

Garry

:welcome:to the club Garry

Thanks mate and to be perfectly honest that really sold it to me as in it being a bug eye which I wasn't keen on at all but that splitter makes the car IMO oh and the speedlines oh and the colour blue lmao :-)

Thank you :D

Not sure if you mis-read or if i'm mis-reading now.... but bluebugeye was saying you have the s202 grill on your car now (rather than it would look good with one). :)

My fault as I totally mis-read his post ha ha
Im a serious noob with a scoob :-)

A quick wash after work now that looks better :-)
