Finally threw the towel in during August for keeping the 600bhp JDM Spec C Impreza just for competition stuff..... I had not even done any competitive racing this year! Too much stress and I couldn't be arsed anymore.

I had to replace it with something else so went out purchased another scoob!

A very very nice unregistered (in the UK anyhow) standard 2005 JDM (so 2ltr) Hawkeye with just over 8k miles on the clock:



Had it 6 weeks and already had the spanners out and done various things....... it went on the rollers the other week and hit 400bhp so plenty powerful enough for a "road car".

I just hope I don't get the itch and whip the engine out / go mental AGAIN!

After nearly a week of of crappy diesel van driving, it felt good to get back into the 5 series this evening:

Picking up this next friday, the wait is killing me

AUDI TT 1.8 T Quattro [225]

Very modest car compared the other's on this thread, but to me this might as well be a track day 944

When did you start cutting hair Daz?

Only kidding I would buy a 225 at the right price in a heartbeat

I released i would be the but of those jokes, "perhaps night school"

This was the right price, + its had all the recalls done, and comes with all the option's that were on the earlier S version.

had a couple of sporty cars in the past. Capri 2.0s, XR3i, Fiesta ST, but this is just nuts, easy to drive tootling around town, but quick enough to give me a huge Clarks'n style grin when driving it like a .....

Any 2 seater that has a soft top option is an instant hairdresser car

The leather and interior trim is excellent in the TT.

Taking a break from the gaming scene for a few weeks.... I decided to start throwing some cash into the Scoob again.

Bored of 400bhp so:

New turbo, intercooler and inlet system.

Getting the intercooler and inlet system fitted on Monday / Tuesday and getting it remapped on Wednesday.

Target will hopefully be 450bhp.

That will do me for a few months.

[gradius]

My first car

[Pete]

Nice, you gonna add any go faster stripes, leds & other bling

[fagin]

Target now reached.... 450bhp.

Should keep me from boredom until next Spring.

[Jan]

guys , don`t wanna scare you , but all of your steering wheels are on the wrong side

[fagin]

Target now reached.... 450bhp.

That didn't last long.... bored already and going for a bigger turbo again in the next couple of weeks!

Had a play with a motorbike today.... I think he had a heart attack that I kept up his **** from 40mph to xxxmph. I know he was giving it death as he was in full "chin down" mode.

I bought myself an old Scooby as well now I am a daddy. Mine is just a black 04 STI (UK) with the PPP 305bhp. It lacks the straight line speed of my Vette and VX Turbo but it has 4 doors and makes things easier for me! Hopefully it should be OK when the snow comes as well!
