Scotty's trouble was mostly a leaking coolant system.

What sums it up generally in my opinion is :
More power = more trouble.

Steve PPP's is virtually standard WRX with 90K plus on the clock and my WR1 is also virtually standard neither have had any issues.

After having now done 10 trips to the Ring as far as I know the only scoobs that haven't made it back are ones that have been modified running bigger turbos and then been remapped.


With bigger power yes its nice to have, but, everything else has to be uprated to suit.

A cost effective mod that people tend to not bother with is to get a baffled sump.
