Andy my neighbour has got a scooby its blue 3 door its called a terzo, some ltd edition thing goes well he says its flat out at 140 and was only made in blue hope this is of some help m8

 

2 doors!
the estate was 3 doors!!

 

The blue ones are Type Rs IIRC

280 as std... then ad an exh and filter 300... etc etc


Alex

 

Cos they are shite maybe?

 

ive kept up with the odd scooby.. they are not particularly that quick..

wait till you get to some country lanes, if he can drive, then its a different matter

 

well thre is a few ideas to whai it was,

if i see him again i will enquire

 

Without knowing the exact model and mods bit of a guessing game but if it was a UK spec item it could of been running around 220hp which would mean you should of been leavin him quite easily with yours only being 2 wheel drive/lighter and all. If it was in good shape and well looked after it could of been running around 280hp - 300hp in this state straight line performance would probably be around the same I would guess.

I would guess your S1 would keep up with my EVO VIII 260 which is probably pushing out around 280hp there really isn't that much difference in straight line performance in the 200 - 300 hp arena in my opinion people expect to see the other car going backwards or vice versa but it just don't happen.

 

Really???

 

I never had one come close to my ropey old sierra, especially over 100

 

Well.... they must be really slow then!

Oh well...... I will just have to try and sleep at night knowing mine is slower than all the ropey old sierra's.

 

i sold my RST which was around 250bhp and got a P1 with close to 300bhp and to start with i thought the RS was quicker but after driving the P1 for a month or two i now dont think it is, from a stand still up to 140-150 comes up bloody quick

i loved the RS but the drive of the P1 is soooooooooooooooo much better pmsl

mark

 

No disrespect (as I too owed a RST), but I would bloody hope that a P1 (or any scoob for that matter) drove better than a RST.

 

lol im being diplomatic m8 lol

i was talking about that model of scooby that everyone one seems to have.. you know the really common one's Shaun?? that you see all the time everyday of the week

 

Oh.... you mean the standard ones that families drive around in with kids in the back!

Hang on though..... that would be the same as you going up against a standard Sierra or Esc Cos as well then?!? lol



Wooden spoon anyone?

 

common as muck,

edit: I was actually on about the turbo ones... the ones that have depreciated in value by soooooooo much that be why evryone has one..

 

Say what you like about the "older" ones as I dont own one of them!

 

fair one.. Dont blame you..

saying that, I would

 

I said I didnt own one.... not that they are no good.

Stick my engine in one of those lighter cars and your RST wouldnt get a look in!

Classic's with less power than my engine can get in the 11's down spod!

We are talking REAL power here though on a proper engine.

 

Oi Banchester, what are you waffling about?

Could easily have been a Type R or Type RA, both imported and readily available in blue. I know, as I've driven both!

Shaun, you SHOULD have bought an older one. That way your car wouldn't have that look of surprise every time it gets passed

 

Type-RA were 4 doors.

 

Andy did it have clear back lights and the reg VAS ****??

 

Really?

Cos the Ver3 Sti Type RA I drove wasn't

 

Maybe ver 3. I am almost sure in ver 5 it was like that that Type R was only 3-door and type-RA was only 4 door.


But I have my knowledge mostly form brit sites as you can't see any of those over here naturally.

 

Probably the type ra, ive had a go in one,close ratio box, built for 0-60-100 really, once they hit 130 they start to fade, mad as fook cars thuogh, id have one..........

 

All JDM's are limited to 180km/h so what need for long ratios.

Also Type-R/RA are homologation specials so not true road cars, the same as EVO V RS with it's ultra short gear ratios.

Build to be quick around mountain roads and other twisties

 

because most scooby owners claim theyve got 330bhp when its usually around 260 and theyre nowhere near as fast as they like to think - i know i raced one in my golf gti and he struggled to pull away hehehehehehehe

Shell, Andrew here on missus's computer

the reg was something along the lines of B16 B**

i think

 

Think it lives over wyre...

I'm sure Dobby knows him...

 

Andysrs they do not do a 3 door called a terzo, they do, do a terzo just not with 3 doors.

Some right shite being spouted on here on just hear say.

No im not a scooby owner just owned one for a couple of years.

 

I was dying to go down that route, but didnt think it was beneficial!

 

There are some very fast Scoobies out there but unfortuantely there are also a hell of a lot of standard/near standard cars that the owners all seem to beleive are some sort of road going missile. I have wiped the floor with too many Impreza's to keep a count on including my mates old tweeked WRX. He was quite happy(ish) to admit he couldn't come close once we were rolling

Even our new FRST with just about 200bhp has wiped the smug grin off a couple of Subaru drivers faces

being a 2 door Impreza it narrow's down the model it could have been but there are still far too many varients to be guessing at what it was.

Keep an eye on ScoobyNet for a RS Turbo kept up with my Impreza supercar thread, then sit back and enjoy the fireworks

 

Could be 2.2 N/a e.g.
