if you had £20,000

[wrx sti 320bhp]

if you had £20,000 how would you spend it on your scooby
and who would you trust to do the work and why ??

[Hongkongfooi]

hmmm 20k huh

I would get engine tuner to put together either a cdb 2.35 with a twisted kit and gt35r or a full cosworth engine with same turbo.
I would add ast susp, ap brakes fitted by Brent at smd.

Get a good set of tyres and geo setup.

I reckon you would have change out of 20k....just.

Both firms mentioned have excellent reputation....imho

not that I dream much

[centurion73]

20K mmmmm

Well it would have to be coilovers, followed by tailored interior (seats, door cards and carpets etc), then some brake upgrade all round (nothing to flash 4 pots and discs), refurb my alloys. MMmmmm

Engine upgrades - None

Paintwork back to prime and re spray the whole car in red

(make the car look like it just left the showroom)

I still have plenty of money over but I be happy ...

I give the rest to SES fourm to use to promote the club and help out the fourm members who needed it most..

Where would I get the work done..

So many choices ... I have to get back to you on that

Yep, I think that just about covers it!

20k

Probably i would don't invest any money to wagon,maybe just i would brought KAPS 6-sequential transmission(used),Syvecs...

And all other money,probably new project Classic Wagon for start and build Track wagon or EVO.


Jura

[DukeBoy]

I would just put it all into more shares in Shell V power.

[Moley_WRX]

Use £15 of it to place a for sale ad on Pistonheads/Autotrader, and then get my Porsche, lol

HHHHAHHAhahHAHAHAH Love it

As Moley said.

[RobEvo5]

3rd what Moley said.

20k into a scoob and it will still be scoob, and unless you intent to use it to race/rally/track would be wasted IMHO.

But if I already had said porsche or exotica.

And 20K was pocket change and a play spend on a scoob. It would be a trip to one of the trusted specialists and just say I want the the fastest, most reliable daily driver that could double up as a track car for 20K firm and just leave it in there trusted hands.

[ralliart didz]

i would get my evo gta

Would rather spend 20k on a Scoob and it still be a Scoob than 20k on a Porsche any day!!!

2nd that, although a GT3 would be nice!.

[centurion73]

I changing my wish if I had £20,000 I would ....

Buy this, ok I have to haggle a little..

Damm I forgot it was suppose to be on scoobie, well my answer to that is, by buying this I m saving my scoobie (preserving it and keeping the miles low, thus having it longer)

No thanks, don't think you would get one for 20k either

[RobEvo5]

20K into a scoob plus say 10K on a base scoob and your looking at 30K.

Agree about 911's and unless its a GT2,3 or a turbo they are just girls cars.

But Horses for courses and everyone has a different requirement, but at 30k I would much sooner have a new shape E92 M3 saloon.

Or leave the scoob alone and keep it as is, and get a 2nd toy car for 20K. Caterham etc.

caterham style would be where i would go too, pref bike powered..

[AndyWRX]

20k mmmmmmmmmmmm

Think id get a new engine, new set of wheels and a splitter then leave it as it is as im quite happy with it at the moment

With the rest id get another rx7, build a quad rota engine and use it as a drift car

[centurion73]

I had another rethink and if I had £20,000 for the scoobie I would buy £20,000 of Unleaded from ESSO, so I could drive around as much as I wanted in my car. That I think is the best option for £20,000 on my scoobie hahahaha

lol with the way things are going your probably right, put £20 in the scoob today and the needle hardly moved

What porker can you get for 20k

[Moley_WRX]

Lots of 996 3.4's, but the Turbo's are still £23k+

(hence i'd sell mine and put that money with the £20k to get a decent one)

And where are you going to find the next 20k when it breaks

[Moley_WRX]

Insurance prices would have to go up, lol

[scoobycoops]

£20000!!!
I've effing spent close to that just to maintain mine??!?!?
( for "maintain" read "tweak, abuse, over rev, tweak, spank, slide, tweak, learn, learn, scream, etc, yet - strangely, still not exceed it's limits)

Ok. I'd prob standardise this one and retire it as a run around and start again on a new victim!!!!!!

[tbtstt]

I would go to Prodrive. £20K there would probably buy me an air filter, a decal and a cup of tea. Be the fastest cup of tea I've ever had though...


In all seriousness if I had £20K to spend on the car then I would most likely leave my Scoob as is and pour the 20K into a weekend Type R.
