A trip to a breakers in search of a starter motor has ended up in buying ANOTHER project car This one me n Greg (Bigwig on here) decided we was gonna share it as a track car to abuse the fuck out of...

And its a Scooby

A 1991 Legacy Turbo 4wd Estate 200bhp of 4wd Boxer lovelyness.

Best thing, no joke, it cost us 250quid So 125notes each

One wing is rusty as fuck and needs changing, bit of surface rust on top of windscreen seal, engine mounts are a bit soft, exhaust is blowing slightly, VERY slight rad leak, and it needs a DAMN good wash, but aside from that, its sweet as a nut!

When we first started it it sounded awful, thought it was big ends, but it was a sticky lifter and totally stopped all of a sudden, and has never came back, so thats cool.

Nice enough sporty interior with Momo steering wheel etc, good nick but filthy at mo.

Full history up to about 15k ago too.

Goes well, no smoke, sounds awesome, esp on the overrun.

Plans are clean it up, replace wing, remove tow bar and roof rack , matt black it (dark green at mo), lower it, fit my SX's old side exit, my spare front mounter (and then sell the std chargecooler setup), a cone filter, up the boost, and razz the fuck out of it

NOT spending much, but luckily its all haved as we gonna share it as a 99% track car, so its ok.

Handling feels strange to me, feels floaty on the rear, even though you can feel the front pulling too, but maybe its cause im not used to 4wd's much and its jus how they drive, i dunno, maybe rear bushes are shot, or maybe its jus cause the tyres are half flat (as they are ).

Either way, at 250quid its a crazy bargain

Heres a few utter shite pics as it was dark and there now 4 cars on the drive

 

Fuckin mint bargain there mate cant wait to see this progress should be a right laugh for ya both nice one

 

Bargin!

 

haha mint, do you use ratttle cans to paint em matt black or a tin of paint and roller???

 

rattle cans, roller would be a nightmare gettin in the nooks n crannies i reckon n look awful

 

LOL!!!

Should prove fun!

 

Bargain project

 

Saw it in daylight this morning, looks pretty cool, its growing on me even more!

Cheap fast modified cars you dont worry about are SO much more fun than expensive ones

If anyones after a fast 4wd turbo motor, deffo check the insurance on one of these, trust me, veeery cheap for whats basically an Impreza

 

Good idea to have it sandwiched between two cars - every little scrote in cheltenham wants these cars.
Bargain though!

 

Yeah man, jus call me Stavros Johnson from now on

 

lol! Seriously though i was on about the lil fuckers trying to steal these

 

Yup, they fit cashpoints in the back pretty well, and quick enough to get away from the police...

There 3 of em down at Buckies last time i checked...

 

reg number? lol!

 

Whats that pic from?



Not the same one, this ones got a roof rack

 

My mate sent it me ages ago bragging they all got a scooby lol.

 

yeehaaa!its gonna be ace!just wish it was motted now as my beemer just broke! but its a billy bargain!cant wait to beat it senseless!

 

You'll be wanting to get some whiteline stuff then:

http://www.whiteline.com.au/

They do loads of stuff for scoobys.

 

cant afford that shit

 

I had one of them. Superchipped and fitted with a full Hayward and Scott exahust from turbo back, no cats. Went like stink

Don't cane it in 5th gear. I did and broke 5th dumping the throttle on the motorway at 80mph ! After i got the box repaired i replaced the turbo to system pipe removing the cat and the restrictor plate This made it much smoother and stopped the huge rush of power that bust the gearbox in the first place.

Enjoy... i miss mine for the fun but not for the fuel bills !!!

 

Pikey cunt

 

why spend shit loads on a 250 quid car though?when second hand impreza stuff will sort it no end? this is budget budget budget (which is sometimes hard to do when you get enthusiastic! )
its gonna be cool

 

Fair enough. I'm just trying to make you both enthusiastic and spend money so I don't feel as bad about my budget projects which I end up speading a shit load of money on.



BTW your both Pikey cunts!

 

No, we just know what you can do without being a mug and spending a fortune on shite like most do.

My S13 for example.

Its not gonna be a shed, its gonna be a badass car for bargain money.

 

good old harry bucklands

 

wasnt from buckies mate! they dont let you buy cars off em, they jus scrap em, if they did id own a 30k mile chevette by now

 

yeah this was from twiggies,but theres always legacies at buckies to pillage from for parts!

 

Keep the roof rack and invest in a wicker hamper!

 

agreed!!!

 

No chance, with the bonnet scoop, alloys, and turbo badge, its too obvious, not to mention the noise.

And round here they too famous as pikey-mobiles, so couldnt make a sleeper if you tried.

 

That much of a pikey, Steves got a 900+hp Liner build... Yeah total "PIKEY"

 

Cool project.

 

Yeah, I was really serious about calling them Pikey cunts due to the at the end of my post.

I was commenting on them owning a Scooby Legacy because all the Pikeys round here own one, capisce?

Anyway It should be a good project, good luck

 

ur a nutter mate! another one!?

sell me your 200sx, iv sold the hachi

 

Big Wig that siggy is quality

 

Love the car

 

Looks better now too, jus need Greg to upload the pics whenever he comes online!

@ admiring the removal of the roof bars in this pic

 

That wasnt me admiring them, i was ripping the fucker off

You cant REALLY remove the roof bars, they a factory option thats meant to be there for ever, but we saw one earlier that didnt have them, and looked WAY cooler, so we took (ie forced ) them off.

Prised the plastic covers off the allen key bolts, then after a LOT of effort with levering with screwdrivers all 8 bolts came out.

But then the centres wouldnt, and there no bolts there, turns out they riveted

A bit of pursuasion (ie twist it like fuck ) snapped one of the 2 rivets either side, and then hacksawed the other off.

Job done

Roofs not too damaged

Looks loads better now

 

so what are the plans for it?how bo you modify these legacy lumps,as there isnt much stuff for them?
