WRXRob Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Hi Guys,Picked up my new motor after a 3 month wait yesterday.Ordered it from Earls Barton Subaru in Northampton and can't speak highly enough about the team there. Adam (Managing Director) was superb from start to finish and even let me borrow their demonstrator for my sisters wedding last month.Decided to stick with standard power to start with other than some bits from the dealer, front splitter, side skirts, boot inlay and mats.Really like the interior with the new starlink system looks much smarter. Power fold mirrors and day time running lights are the main differences I believe.Look forward to getting involved and hopefully we can get some more names running at Area 52.Thanks for looking,Rob Quote
Steve Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Lovely car Welcome to M-SOC This model certainly is becoming popular and what a great colour Steve Quote
Bigfootgman Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Not jealous at all. Very nice mate welcome to msoc Quote
WRXRob Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks guys, this is my 4th scooby, had a P1 about a year ago which was a beast but too costly to keep running unfortunately Quote
terzoscooby Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Very nice in the best colour. I keep thinking about going for one myself to replace my MY11 320R but losing 40bhp, recaros and my apple carplay puts me off. Is there an official power upgrade yet? Quote
WRXRob Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 There isn't but Mangolesti Subaru do a 340bhp upgrade with a matching 3 year warranty.You want to speak to John Burton. It's £3500 though including the warranty so not cheap! Although I'm sure if you ordered a car through him though he'd be able to do a deal.My dealer told me I could modify whatever I liked and as long as I kept all the original bits they would stand by the warranty.Obviously they aren't saying forged block and different turbos/internal etc. but Catback, remap and panel filter was fine...in which case that makes it a lot cheaper. It was the managing director Adam who told me that and I trust him to stand by his word. Quote
WRXRob Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 You could also transfer you Recaros over ...when I have 2 penny's to rub together again I want some! The red inserts are the one bit I don't like on the standard seats... Quote
Steve Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 The clinic bought a brand new car to develop and now have a range of packages for the new car, so worth having a look in their section of the forum I believe they helped develop an exhaust for Miltek as well Quote
Marv Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Welcome to M-SOC - great looking motor you have there Quote
WRXRob Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 Yes they do, it is on their website and is around 3k including vat for miltek system, sports cat and remap.Scoobyworld are close to finalising theirs but ultimately they're all finding the same ways to hit 330-350bhp as that is all this engine is capable of handling reliably unfortunately...

I may have to think again and get Pat to map at the clinic with a few bits to make it breath. The Mangoletsi map was way down on torque compared to the Scoobyclinic. Quote
WRXRob Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah I'm sure most dealers would wash their hands of it but after all Adam and his team did for me I'm sure they'd see me right if my worst nightmare happened. They also did me a deal on the dealer fit bits (Still a lot compared to HT autos products) but I like the official stuff.I'd speculatively messaged The clinic on FB asking about theirs and I think that's the route I'll take eventually but want to get some miles on it first so I appreciate the extra grunt...

Very active on this forum, unlike others Quote
scoobyspud Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Welcome to the new shape scoobs. Think that makes 3 in the club now. Blue, black and white Quote
Fez the plodder Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Hello there......Lovely motor? Quote
The Gaffer Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Hi,welcome along.We produced several performance packages for the new saloon early last year, all done and dyno tested in house then off we went to Blyton raceway to test them on track before we released them to the general public.Great cars and being 40% stiffer they handle well too, once the traction control is turned off that is.

hughy Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Hi and welcome, lovely car mate, you won't go wrong with Kev and the team up at the clinic........ Quote
WRXRob Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 Thank you for the warm welcome guys...have messages Kev already Quote
WRXRob Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Booked in with Kev for next Tuesday Also as I was off today gave it the first proper clean and thought I'd debadge the rear as it looked a little overkill. Edited October 6, 2015 by WRXRob Quote
WRXRob Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 Just a cat back for now Steve so it sounds like a Scooby but will discuss the 340 upgrade whilst I'm there I'm sure Quote
scoobyspud Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 They do sound quite nice with the exhaust tweek Quote
