Nice one!

Hope you've done your research Tara on the costs of modding a scooby especially if it's not been looked after.

Good luck!

Nice one Tara! Pics asap.

As above, seriously high running costs.


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

Get some pics up Tara once you have it,  still got a soft spot for the classic shape scoob,  I miss my wagon :innocent:

My mate Steve is getting his back this week sometime,  its a canary yellow STI 5 Ra.  Its over at HDC Subaru at the moment Howard certainly knows is stuff when it comes to scooby's.

Then the car once built back up and on the road is going down to Tim @ Roger Clarks for finishing off, Once this car is fully prepped there will not be much that will keep up to it. The engine and box are bullet proof the engine is group N rally spec. 

If anyone is interested In a quite frankly super rare Spec 5 RA in even rarer canary yellowI can get full details but its not cheap although you will not need to spend any thing on it and if used on track you will have some good fun.

He wants wait for it.........

As above not cheap to run and make sure it's a good one  that does not need an engine rebuild or big money spending on it oh and check the clutch in top gear for slip too, lots of other checks too. Just sold my sti last week so know lots about running one  :smiley:

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box
