Scooby or s2

[maRS2]

My Scooby was much more confortable than my RS2 on south french B roads.

I used to call it the flying carpet but you have to get to the speed where it start flying over holes under this speed it's right that's it's a litle bit harshe.

One other thing the Subaru did have is some descent seat not those crap recaro that you sleep out every time you get in to a tight curve with good speed. I hate leather seets.
This is the next mod I need on my RS2 i think i will go for sparco roadster 2

So why i bought a RS2 because they don't import the STI 5 door to france and i need a station wagon to carry all ski's (6 pairs) from me and my friend who is my copilot on the way every weekend.
Also when I bought it i didn't think their will be such a difference in handling and engine response now my target is to get the RS2 close to a STI.
Oem RS2 has more power than subaru but the way it's delivered doesn't suit to mountain driving.

Well the day had to come as there is millions of the bloody things, and i ended up flashing him and he pulled over to let me past, It was up the local drag strip:mischeif: But before that i had to hammer it around one of thoses circular things to catch up with the type r and the subaru

Got the tumbs up at the end its all good fun

blimey its took me ages reading through all this lol, i think the best word has to be said by corey, it is down to the driver at the end of the day anyone can drive in a straight line but not everyone cant blast it through bends.
About which car is best "everyone to there own" we all favour audi`s cuz we have them, i personaly like mine glad i bought it, build quality in my opinion is way better than the scooby, thats it folks im all out

[phil2.016v]

My Borther's got a WRX with a Mines ecu, should pump out 280ish, my avant pulls away quite nicely much to his disgust

Build quality is no contest

[madS2]

jamos right about them subaru undercover police cars in manchester!Nearly got caught out by 1 good thing i can see a undercover cop with my experience lo,But the subarus around leeds will defo be hiding when we bring the 2 S2's out for fun soon.Dont care if they got the pro drive chip neither im out to get them.

[mcandmar]

Its the noise really puts me off scoobys, i cant help thinking turbo charged beetle engine when i hear one. Give me the spine tingling tune of a 5cyl any day

[Jamo]

I dont like Scoobies for 3 reasons, Evo's, Skylines, Audis

My mate has just recently got a WRX prodrive one and to tell you the truth we are fairly evenly matched currently, He does pull ahead to beging with but then I get up the range and claw it back in. But then I am stock with 3" ex and 7a cams.

the new one STI with 2.5 ltr engine is very fast. i have tried one and with all respect i have to say that it is a fast and well handling car. they also improoved quality of interior. it was 325 HP with 400 Nm. sure it was faster than stock s2. but with some mods... i will newer change my s2 for a scoobie.

Just had another scooby snack on my way home.
He didn't know what the !!!uck had just passed him
Might even get a Shaggy tonight.

I gotta admit, my scooby aint quick enough and its a 270bhp
Altho they can be made torquey ?
The turbo's or what ever must be mapped different, but they go to redline
easy enough. I blew the dump valve off mine when i 1st got it,

I miss Vinnys torque like made, or is it the mrc remap :mischeif: and thats why i keep gettin boost cut, LOL
But my health is far better nailing the scoob, than nailin vinny.

But at least i can say i owned a 3B and an ABY,
and you know wot....... I DONT LET ANYONE KNOCK THEM, ESPECIALLY VINNY


I would have an STi RA tho :mischeif:

[karlblues2]

Haven't been on for a while, 'coz I sold the S2 for a 2002 B5 S4 I also have a new Forester Turbo which uses the same engine and running gear now as the WRX. Stock it does 0-60 in 6 secs flat. I now have an EXede ECU fitted which makes it pretty quick really. In fact, it's not bad for something I only use to tow the dirt bikes
I've also owned a Liberty RSK B4 2001 model that I sold for the S2. My opinion, S2 was faster than my B4 and Forester in the mid range and top end. The S4, is smoother than all of them. But I miss the torque of the S2, stock or modified. It kills the Scoobys. Period.
And as an aside, my old S2 was still faster in a straight line than the B5 S4 which is stock bar an APR remap. I would have to replace the turbos etal to even come close.

As theer were only 25 S2's brought to Oz and I do over 20000miles per year, I needed another daily driver. I still want my S2 back, and that is a choice I'd easily make over a new WRX, STi or Leberty GT Turbo....... But that's just me

had a convo with my friend who has the prodive scooby tonight and he summed it all up, I (we) must have more torque available than they do as when he puts his foot down he pulls away a bit but hen we come stonking back and go bye bye......

[GirlRacer]

Karl, in the usa & where you are
the wagons are 220bhp & if the forester runs the same engine as wrx
then thats why ? I will try & did the proofs up and you can check engine number
off
I was also suprised as thought all wrx/imports were 270.
Not usa ??

I may be blonde but useful for some things
