Scoobs are awesome, the way they suck you into the seat, its fantastic. My uncle has one, and so does my aunt, aka his wife. I always remember the first time out in his, he said to me, want me to how you what this can do? i was like yeah ok, lets see what all this hype is about, and fook me i simply couldnt believe a car under ?25k could accelerate so goddam fast. And oh lord do they handle good, people who say there slow simply haven't been in one before, they are great cars!!

the previous owner did a really good job of adding the 'scooby scoop' whatever theyre off


looks well sweet, a top purchase. u must be driving round casually then ocassionally think. "im in a wrx, fuck!"

Did you know the bonnet scoop is only rated to 150 mph !!!
Over that speed the bonnet will bend !
Seen it happen @ only 145

I am really not all that suprised by that, my uncles one does 150mph, but simply only coz of the gear ratios, it you adjusted them im sure itd go alot faster and pull it quite easily. good cars.

The early models had weak Aluminum bonnets (93-97).
They added extra strenght to them after that so you might be alright.

Probally why they added the extra strenght then.

hhhhmmmmm intresting
maybe u mean the early ones?? cos on my model it has the new bonnet with the swage lines down the sides, which would give it a lot more strength

intresting if they added the lines to toughen the bonnet up

and to dave
"its like a pussy cat purring in my lap~" lol
