OK that would explain the responce. Yes, I know it was from one tuner, and as I have said over and over again. Given the range of models, the volume of cars, the time scale in question, and the failues due to idiots blowing them up, I dont think this is a bad figure (from that individual tuner).
really?i wouldve thought that many in 5 years from just one tuner was quite high but then again i have no other stats from other engine types so hard to compare.
5 years they have been counting them over the fifteen years the boxer engine has been around? The early legacies were 91/92 I think...

Anyway, we digress from a question of reliability or stupidity. If it was phrased we have rebuilt 1000 engines due to them being in a dangerous state of overtune....maybe that would make more sense.

I have no doubt that the EVO is the better car, but is it what I would choose to go to Tescos....no!

Is it a question of cost for me? NO!....christ I could afford to buy a brand new RS4, so its got nothing to do with cost. BUT! Is Mrs Bloggs going to buy a car that costs more than double for a service, no she is not. It is a common sense decision NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR OR PERFORMANCE. IIRC my first service for the WRX300 was free and the second Ł140 at a main dealer. Is Mrs Bloggs going to accept the additional fuel costs, the additional oil costs, the extra road tax costs (due to emissions over 250) and so on. The Impreza is in a different market IMO to an EVO. The impreza is a cheap(ish) performance saloon, whereas the EVO is a weapon of mass destruction. The market for the former is a lot bigger than the market for the latter.

Chavs in their masses choose the UK car when IM flooded the market? You have not read anything I have said have you. The McDonalds tyre squealing brigade are all in WRX imports as these are the cheapest Impreza's you can buy. Unless of course you are implying that I am a chav for buying three UK spec cars, in which case I take exception. I had to wait over a year for my P1, that is a genuine enthusiast not a chav. I didnt even know how much it was going to cost when I ordered it. People forget that in 1999 when details of the P1 were released, the STI was not sold in the UK, and therefore the P1 was the ultimate Impreza.

I didnt know there was an EvoNet BTW...

I was thinking long and hard about the issue of engine rebuilds. People seem to forget that eight years ago there was not the knowledge base there is now. For example I can quote from experience of a tuner who put a CAI and full decat on a P1 and warrantied it without doing a remap. Was an eyelid batted then? No! Because most people didnt even know what a remap was. It is well known now that CAI alter the MAF flow readings, and can lead to det, then meltdown.

Why does Mike Wood say that the P1 was less prone to det than a Type R? Probably because he knows he put a fuel catalyst in the tank. At the end of the day these levels of abuse, would only come into effect at very high revs and high speed i.e. on a track or as some people proudly boast on the roads. Either way their style of driving dicatates the outcome....

Again, given the sheer volume of cars and the number of models in the range, and the ten year period in question, I do not think 1000 engines rebuilt by one tuner is bad at all. Especially considering the amount of engines that went bang which were self-inflicted.

Given that I have seen a series 1 CVH engine rebuilt three times in less than five years, I really do not see where this comparison is leading. If an engine is modified to output power far outside its engineered design, then goes bang, is the manufacturer to blame or the idiot that pushed it too far? You seem to be implying that a Subaru engine has some sort of design flaw, when it would appear it is the people driving them that have the flaw.

Look at Scoobynet today, one of the first posts is 'How do I get 400bhp out of my P1'. Answer, you cant, unless you want to spend 10k doing it. This has nothing to do with Subaru reliability it is all to do with the idiots buying the car. Later on in the thread he is asked why he wants 400bhp, to which he replies 'dunno, I just though it was a good figure LOL'.......

I have said I looked at getting an EVO, I have said the EVO is the better car, what else do you want me to say? Do you want me on my knees sucking your manhood or something? Just get the fuck off my back now
Get as bored as you like, it doesn't phase me in the least BUT you aren't reading what I am saying either! I am just correcting you on your ill-informed running costs of an Evo. Buying a Scoob is just false economy IMO, the only 'cheap' thing about it, is the actual purchase price. They aren't cheap to mod and a PPP costs Ł????k to get a Scoob to 300bhp?

Is Mrs Bloggs going to buy a car that costs more than double for a service, no she is not. It is a common sense decision NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR OR PERFORMANCE.

You say a Scoob service costs less than half of what an Evo one does..... I am sure 1000s of Scoob owners will be asking you where they can get a full service done for less than Ł100 incl. VAT... that really is a bargain price!

A genuine question, what additional fuel costs would Mrs Bloggs have? Do you actually know the mpg you can get from an Evo?

Do you want me on my knees sucking your manhood or something? Just get the fuck off my back now
Tsk tsk how very ScoobyNetish.... Don't let yourself down now with insults, you have been pretty coherent and reasoned so far.......

I am saying that the service intervals are greater in a Scoob and the service costs are less, so taking both into account, the cost of 'servicing' is half. I never said a 'service' was Ł100..... why do you twist every word I say? I quite clearly told you how much I paid for a service.

That's meaningless I'm afraid.... you are comparing modified against standard and they aren't day to day to day driving costs. IIRC a standard STi is 265bhp ish, no idea what a WRX is though. An Evo comes into the UK with around 276bhp.

I apologise for my outbursts, but I have quite enough heckling at scoobynet, without getting it everywhere else I go as well. This isnt even thread related, just a spur of the moment comment that has been taken completely out of context.

As you can see on paper the Evo would appear to anyone doing a google search to cost more to run. If it is not, then I stand corrected. I will quite happily put my hands up and say so if I am wrong. I go on what the motoring journalists tell me....and what my research comes up with. When I saw the MPG, service interval, and emissions of the EVO I immediately looked elsewhere. I even put my name down for a new Civic Type R, but they look like they could be juicy as well...

I agree that PPP is a big expenditure. Half that for exhaust / STI panel filter and remap, and it would be well over 300 bhp. JDM engine are already over this figure as standard.......

We seem to be at different ends of the stick we are poking at each other. I am happy with the performance as standard of a Subaru, as I am sure the majority of their customers are. Whereas you want to debate the tunability of the boxer engine and its reliability, assuming people actually want to do this. I am sure that it is a minority that actually buy a brand new scoob and then modify it as soon as it had been driven off the forecourt.

The only thing I am trying to defend is the reliability of the standard car that has not been feddled with.

I'm sorry I dont understand what is meaningless. These are the figures from the Mitsubishi web site for models from the Lance Evolution Range. These are the cars that are available to buy. These are the specs that I would look at, and IMHO found to be a bit juicy, and environmentally unfriendly.

This has nothing to do with a SUBARU, it is my own reason for not buying an EVO. The two are completely unrelated. I just thought I would add the existing Subaru line up as a comparison. If you want me to remove it from the post, then I will.....

No need to remove it from the post.... what I am trying to point out is that it shouldn't be believed what is written on other bbs about how expensive an Evo is to run compared to a Scoob. They are roughly in the same performance bracket as standard or an FQ300 v STi and if the 2 cars were driven identically - I bet there'd be little or no difference in mpg. The only difference being the 4.5k/6 monthly services on an Evo, but at Ł200 twice a year for servicing [by a tuner, not a dealer], the 'big' service being the 45k one and the AYC fluid only needs changing every 9k, I don't find that excessive.....nothing like the horror stories that are bandied around. Personally though, I would want any performance car I owned, serviced twice a year, I always have done with my Escos.

As you have pointed out what Mike Wood has said though and also what he said HERE I still say buying a Scoob is false economy especially if you want to mod it.

With the price of a new WRX down to nearly 16k, it is good value for money for what it is IMO. I personally would not buy a Type UK STI, especially at the price IM charge.......

It probably is false economy if you are buying it to mod it.....but I wouldnt be buying it to mod it

In all honesty I would not consider any car with emissions over 250g, just in case the greenies do win and road tax goes up to Ł1500. You wont be able to afford the tax, and you wont be able to sell the car either.......not that its likely to happen.......

Isn't what you buy about personal preference. My modding days are over & given the choice between a Scoob, EVO or Cossie it would be the Scooby. If I wanted more fun & records I would stick to the Cossie or if I was still in boy-racer mood give me the EVO. Ive driven all 3 of these cars & as an everyday road car the Scoob is the best. EVO is too raw & frantic & the Cossie was designed before World War 2.

Why, thank you! Nice car BTW

If we get back to the subject of Fords......

Does nobody think it is a shame that the original poster has painted his white series one black? Each to their own, but I would be proud to have a white one........

Every RS enthusiast will know that it is not a genuine black one? I dont understand?

it all depends wat u as a person wants from a car, i loved my cossie but i wont be goin back unless its my weekend car but for everyday motoring i still want sports car with some looks about that can be modded thats why i consider the evo or e46 m3 to be my next car unless ford make something decent that also looks good unlike the focus st, i would like focus rs but there just not big bhp these days and the reason i cant have a scoob is the awfull noise they make and that there is far to many women driving them around my area lucky bitchas lol

Gotta disagree with you Rod on the 'raw' comment.

Up to the Evo 6, yep they are a raw car. The 7/8/9s are a totally different ball game though, moreso the 8 and 9 that has the SAYC. The AYC on a 5/6/7 is very intrusive and I wasn't that keen on it, but Mitsi with their ongoing evolution with each model have sorted this nicely to make an 8 a very driveable everyday car with good fuel consumption. I get 10-14 more mpg from the Evo than I do the Escos.

well put rod! and to be honest youve just explianed alot.i drove an r34 gtr for a day and i did like it,i have also diven scoobies on various occations and werent overly fussed by them(not saying they are shite just not my thing) i like a car to be raw,thats why i like tha cossies.i had a pulsar for over a year and it bored me,too easy to drive and felt like i was a passenger.some people are different,i know the cossie aint the quickest round the twisties by a long shot but it is fun and thats whats important.

Its a damn shame you didnt volunteer this information a page or so ago....

I agree with NIL 7717 that modern scoobs dont exactly float yer' boat. Doesnt mean they are a bad car, just maybe not what some people are looking for.

I think the MY98/MY99 Impreza was by far the best incarnation of scoob.....

And that will acheive absolutely buggerall, apart from fueling more hatred towards the Ford scene from owners of other marques


Very interesting thread aswell, I'll not be buying an Evo or Impreza tho, even tho they are both fantastic cars and both have their merrits and advantages over the other.


For now, I will stick to my cooking oil powered fiesta untill 2008 - then I will have a Noble M12

personally i thought the main compition was between the scoobys and cossie now the rst is having a pop lol.
I think we all love to have a faster car than the next person that why we tune them also i'd love a car to be faster then a scooby but then i'd still have a scooby but the cossie would have to be first for the heritage and then mybe a anglia then mybe a mk1 then a mark 2 oh bugger mybe i should add a jap in here somewhere oh yeah yamaha r1 suzuki gsxr1000 then i'll play.
personally i think we all go at each other then out come the bike boys and blow us all away lol how funny.

Not as funny as the amount of surprise an R1 rider had when he tried to pass Rod and Rod just fucked off into the distance

Rods saph was very modified, the R1 was standard.

If both were modified to the same extent, the R1 would win.


Didnt chagne the rider thinking though that his standard R1 was quicker than ANY ford sierra he would meet, well till he met rod

ps. I also drive a Vauxhall Vectra, try explaining that on here. .
Gotta disagree with you Rod on the 'raw' comment.

Up to the Evo 6, yep they are a raw car. The 7/8/9s are a totally different ball game though, moreso the 8 and 9 that has the SAYC. The AYC on a 5/6/7 is very intrusive and I wasn't that keen on it, but Mitsi with their ongoing evolution with each model have sorted this nicely to make an 8 a very driveable everyday car with good fuel consumption. I get 10-14 more mpg from the Evo than I do the Escos.
The EVO was a 6 & the Scoob was a sti ver 5, Like all things they have probably progressed. The Sti felt faster (286bhp) as well but ive no idea what Power the EVO has as standard. If im being really honest, I would not have either of them over an RS Audi. For the daily commute give me my Vectra over any performance car, its horses for courses.
