:wiggle
I really like the 2 doors, but I dont think the colour is right on a scooby.
You know you want that BOMB back:Thumbsup! :Thumbs-up :D :2Rolleyes
i see what your saying...it is one of those love it or h8 it colours...but i love it lol...to tell the truth the pictures dont do it justice

I\'ve seen that car and dont look bad in that colour IMO...its different
its nice but it wont lose control on islands and corners an put you into a ditch or a wall like a rex will it :Hammer

yeah true, but dont think the type r scoobys are understeery, they come with a controllable centre diff and you can send most power to the back :D the joys of JDM eh
Wont have issues finding it in a car park. :D
Fish
get back in a Rex.... you know you want to :D
Sccobys are good but an Evo would have been better!!!!
I think you downgraded, the 2 doors are the worst handling scoobies out there, I used to own one with 380bhp 380ft/lbs torque.

For once we agree. A nice white 5 door :) they are great.
quality moment...
Scrolling down the piccies we start off with a lovely black FD. Fiancee looking over my shoulder goas "that\'s shiny" in a vaguely appreciative tone. Scroll a little further and "Ew!" she exclaims. I gues the colour doesn\'t do it justice (or any favours)...
I used to own this car! Met the current owner at Ace Cafe a few weeks ago.

Have to say i\'m not a fan, rex looked sweet though

worst handling or you couldnt handle it :D :D :D
the 2 doors were regarded as the best handling scoobies to d8...by scooby specialists :Thumbsup!
worst handling scoobs!!!...someone cant drive!!
We ran a V4 Type R in white with 340bhp and it was amazing..
Really like your V5 mate... always prefered the facelifted GC8s....personally would prefer white..but then again everyone has white scoobs!

Ross is bound to say that he dont like anything apart from Matt Black and Pink! :Laugh
i wouldnt mind a go in a very powerful scooby cos people are always banging on bout how good they are. damn they are everywhere tho, we went to that jap meet a few week back and im not kiddin there must have been at least 50 of em there.
yours new toy does look like its in good nick, I dont think the colour is that bad (thought these p1\'s only came in blue?). Im just glad you didnt get a four door otherwise you would be drivin through town one night and **** heads would be thumbin you for a taxi ride. ;D

its not a p1 m8...its a sti type r...p1\'s are understeery because of the power split front:rear 60:40...type r\'s on the other hand are front:rear 36:64...so more dangerous but more fun
There are bound to be comments about the Rex mate, everyone is biased towards it.
I like Scoobys and not ruling out the possibility of having one.
The colour is a bit extreme for me but if you love it then thats all that matters !!
Thumbs up from me !!
Engines arent as bad everyone rants on about.. iv had two engines go on me due to people mapping badly.. and have done them both myself easily and inexpensively..certainly very easy to remove..
my mapping\'s been done by andy forrest, so hopefully its top notch
