I must admit I am leaning towards an EVO, especially now I've read all the negative posts for the Scoob I think pretty much everyone is in agreement that the P1 looks well but at the end of the day, what good's that if it's sat on your drive with a fooked engine This Evo 7 has got me I must admit, just how I'd want one TBH

evo every time mate imo

Good choice mate the evo 7s are coming down on price too

RichardPON

I'd have the EVO every time.

However, the slating of the scoob is a little unjustified.

A lot of problems tend to be caused by the owners - I've lost count of how many times Scoob owners have put oiled filters on their cars, against Prodrive recommendation - IIRC, Prodrive recommend an ITG panel ONLY and supply it in their PPP upgrade packs.....

Plus those running their imported STIs on 95 RON and going on flat out top speed runs..........

Scoobs with chocolate engines? Pund for pund, I bet more cossie engines have let go more often........

Ever been down the pod and got that stench of clutch up your nose??? 6/10 its from a scoopy...!!!! ( saying that 4/10 are evo's.!! ) Having driven both toys, i must admit the evo has my vote.. theirs not much between them in speed but the evo has the cornering mastered.! ever thought in trying a wrc 205 gt4? They can run pretty much standard all day at 300bhp.!

RS_Cosworth330

Went for an Evo 7 in the end and it's absolutely awsome, well happy with it [img][/img]

good choice then, as long as your pleased

Escy

I'd have the P1

scoobydan

go scooby you wont look back
every cars have there problems even fords

RS_Cosworth330

You've obviously never been in an Evo then

MikeR

Good man, i obviously dont need to tell you what i would go for

Your sig does give the game away slightly Mike Love the Evo to bits, very very impressed with it so far

robrs

P1 for me - surely they're no more unreliable than a Cossie? Piston failure was a common problem with them though.


How about a poll?

Escy

I've never been in a P1 either. I'd personally prefer the exclusivity of the P1. Also, i'm not a massive fan of the Evo 7's styling. 5's are the best, then 6's.

Evo everytime for me

aduz

guys i think his mind has been made up

very nice car mate

RS_Cosworth330

Thanks very much aduz, I absolutely love it

RS_Cosworth330

I did half consider a Tommi but when you sit in one then sit in a 7,8 or 9 straight after, the Tommi almost feels pre-historic compared

radiant red

p1's are pure sex on wheels

rs follower

any jap stuff has got a crap interior but the seats in the p1 are far nicer from the looks of it the engines scare people, one weak point i know of is the maf sensor it killed my engine (type r lightwieght jap p1) but with good mapping can out last most engines acceleration is stupidley fast in mine. too many evos poping up the p1 one is the rs500 of the scoob world origanal and the best! jap one accelerate faster tho

aduz

i would say the 22b is the rs500 of the scoob world imo

Redkop

You beat me to it.....

"the p1 one is the rs500 of the scoob world" has to be one of the funniest statements I have read for ages

BTW very nice Evo, RS_Cosworth330 - you made the right choice

cfoster

Evo 7 all day long mate! One of the best cars ive owned and would definitely consider buying another one in the future.

heres the old beaut!!

What gauges have you got in your pillar pod?

timb551

What about a Scoobie 22B, i love the look of those, saw one in the flesh the other day, look nice and wide.

evo for me! not a scooby fan and aolt have done engines round here and im not just talking tuned ones either.if i had a scooby it,d be the 22b.
but the evo is a far better car all round.engine,handling and looks(just with it a 7)prefer the 6 and 9

Redkop

He has already bought a VII now

cfoster

I had a Greedy Boost Gauge, a Phoenix Gold digital voltage meter direct from one of the amps in the boot and moulded a tweeter onto the bottom of the pillar!

Car was running Gems management (als etc), tubular manifold etc etc..!

Chris

timb551

ah missed that post lol

oh well, enjoy it lol

Redkop

I have got Defi BFs (boost and oil temp) in mine and the tweeter was already in the pillar pod that I got.

cfoster

looks smart mate! Is that pillar a standard one thats been modified as the tweeter cover looks factory

Bullett

Redkop

they look lovely in there mate.they are expensive guages aint they?where do you get em?

Redkop

Both original pillar pods on the car have the tweeters as standard. The gauges are mounted on a pod that I got from Gaz@CPP - he supplies them with or without the tweeter.

Redkop

New, they are expensive, but I hit lucky, someone had just posted them for sale on MLR together with the Defi control unit and GReddy oil adaptor plate and I got them all for less than £300

I had already been in contact with MikeR about getting new from him, so when I saw those advertised, literally minutes after the guy had put the ad on.... I snapped them up

cfoster

ah cool, looks real smart. I'm sure ive got a couple of factory a pillars floating about somewhere with a centre panel stereo thing! Could be an excuse to buy another one!!!!!

Redkop

Do you need an excuse?
