Cant believe i like the bolt on arches but they look well on it. Nice motor

Cheers, we needed to go wide and a 22b style kit is just too expensive, this looks mean as well which is great.

 

[Nazor]

yeah i thought to myself a wrc kit would look awesome but like you say would be really expensive. its subtle enough too but gives that meaner look

Is there a chance that spoiler could affect your quarter mile times? The car looks fantastic.

It could yeah. We are going to be more focused on the track next year rather than drag racing. Its also easily removed and will be if we do run quarters.

that sounnnnnnnnnnnnd

Sounds even better in the flesh, the camera we have isnt the greatest for sound

Needs a load of graphics or something to complete the look IMO, as those arches and the spoiler just don't look right as it is.

Lovely motor though.

 

[scubbay]

Dunno what a spiker is but I accept all comments. We have a way to go to achieve the vision but this is a big shift for us. Different front bumper is on the cards, but hey we can only do what we can afford.

Looks awesome, sounds unreal I would only get a 2door Scub al day long

Wish my auld fella was into cars as much

Only thing that would annoy me is the angle of the spoiler and is that hood spacers

Bar that Sweet esp the arches

Yeah, the reason I am into cars at all is my Dad, its great working and racing them together. The reason why I am now in my final year of studying Mechanical Engineering and hopefully going into the other side of things and designing engines etc.

Con the "hood" spacers are functional as the under bonnet temps are phenomenal on a track event. The spoiler angle although perhaps not the most aesthetic was designed for function.
I really do appreciate all comments and will answer all critique as positively as possible as a third generation racer. My mother and father were pretty handy racers in autocross and rallycross I'm just trying to keep the tradition alive.

Cant wait to see this on track..Where you thinking first? Kirkistown?

I have plenty 17 inch racing tyres here for sale lol

Think Kirky and trackskills will be the first port of call anyway.

Haha unfortunately not allowed in the road car class for sprints, hence why you got them lol

 

[Lappintyre]

Quite a few changes since I last seen it, looks very well and mean as!

 

[Mark_C]

Nice, now get rid of the stoneage GT35 and get a precision turbo on there!

 

[jincam]

Unbelievable scubbay as said a few decals on her would look well reminds me a bit of foresters imo

Nothing stone age about it, its the billet Blouch/Scoobyclinic turbo, not the average GT35. Speaks volumes for them when almost all of the top Subarus in the UK, including one which consistently runs 8.4s quarters has two of the same GT30's on his and is now upgrading to GT35's.

every been in a car with a proper gt35 on it chum ?
or put another way - how many "my garrett turbo failed" threads do you see on the mlr...
that'll be approx none
as opposed to the weekly "my fp/hks/s205 etc etc etc just shat itself"
