hi my mate is getting either a evo or scooby but is torn .....can anybody justify what and why .........when i see evos people say they have 360bhp and stuff like that but never look fast and i have done 4 scoobys in my mazda 3 mps so god knows whats goin on

 

which evo and which scooby?

 

I had an Evo and have looked at Scoobys but will be getting into another Evo they really are impressive, people say they are not that involving but l think maybe its a different kind of driving, they walk a fine line with being on the edge and of the edge. They courner like on rails and a few minor tweaks can have you up at 400bhp pretty easily and cheaply in comparison to some cars.

I also think they are slightly rarer which is always nice.

I do like the new shape scoobys more than the new evos though

Mike

 

evo 6 more than likely or lower and any scooby apart from the new one

 

apart from the 22b i'd have an evo over a scooby every time

 

same here i think i like the early evos up to 6 ..i think 10 is cack

 

Evo6 for me then, all day long, although it does slightly concern me how often the diffs etc need to be serviced

 

A red TME would be my choice or an rs

Mike

 

how do they compare to cossies ....say a 400bhp saff and evo 6 400bhp same torque

 

A Spec C is the beast to have Lee, mine was just the best handling car out the box i,ve EVER driven.

I,ve had 3 Evos and it would of hammered them on a Sprint/track etc without doubt.

Mike is right in saying that the Evo is more tunable for little cost though, i mean an Ecutek map, Fuel Pump, Turbo back Exhaust will see you near on 400/400 for what. 2k ish....

Still be a Spec C for me though...


Edited to say,

AND that was my Evo running over 460bhp/450ft/lb ANTI-LAG M.A Developments Forged engine the lot, yes it was manic especially straight line, but the Spec C feels so light, yet so planted...

 

Evo

 

RS is the one to have Rich, no AYC shit hardcore has they come..

Or if you can get hold of one,a 6 Extreme is the kiddie, or a 6 RS Sprint.....

 

Classic Scooby Type R is one of my favourites or probably a blobeye model. Boyhood hero is the classic scooby though will always love them.

Evo is an experience though it has to be said, really wowed me.

not sure at that power level, but there is a Evo 7 or 8 (not sure which) that I see alot in the mornings on the way to work, is a FQ320 with a standard exhaust, so presume is standard, which i struggle to keep with, I gain ever so slightly on the straights but he can carry so much more speed than me through the corners

 

Presuming 2wd Saff, then Saff for straight-line, Evo for everything else....

 

no jap will tear my heart away from a cossie anyway so 2wd saff for me

 

well there we go trevor boy

 

your after the straight line approach or the backwards through a hedge approach then?

 

even no you have just brought a £15,000 MPS out right

 

The STI6 RA are good,prefer them to evos!

Engines need care though!

 

yer but thats a every day car bags

 

Scoobys are chav's wet dreams, Evo 5 or 6 anyday

 

after owning both i,d say the evo

 

what are evo 4 like

 

suffer from crank walk
