My Scooby in Bridport and Beaminster

This was filmed several years ago in my beloved 1999 V-reg Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 in and around my home town of Bridport, Dorset, UK.

I had the car modified to have a stainless steel exhaust, new turbo, dump valve and green air filter, and it sounded awesome (especially in tunnels, see 2:25). It could also do 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds (see 2:05). Also, sometimes flames came out the exhaust (see 3:30). Great car! Miss it.

Thanks to Charles for filming.

P.S. Don't expect to see speeding or reckless driving in this film, there's none.

what an amaising car you had! can you remember what make your exhaust was and what make the dump valve was? and di you get it re-mapped because its very quick to 60 !

@jimmymew Thanks, it was a great car. The exhaust was sources/made by Top Gear in Bridport so I don't think it was a known brand name. It was the backbox and 3" bore pipe most of the way back, but I didn't get an equal length manifold (which is why it still sounds like a flat 4). The dump valve was a Baileys. Also I had a Green induction kit (cone). Also I had a Turbo Technics turbo fitted not long after I got it because the original one screwed up (I didn't mistreat it and always idled it)

@jimmymew I also used higher quality fuel always which apparently the chip would slowly remap to over time. However I didn't do a proper remap, I always wanted to but didn't have the spare cash. Still it was fast for a Turbo 2000, perhaps as a result of those parts. The guy I sold it too has had it remapped and now it's even faster :-)

I remember your scooby,used to be parked up north allington near mrs Barnes shop ?

Didnt it used to have white or was it gold wheels at the time ?

Sounded good..

[JakeBirkett]

@nmo888 Yep, I used to live in North Allington, and you are correct - it had gold wheels! (good memory). I used to love that beefed up flat 4 sound. It's still around Bridport with a new owner I believe.

Horrible cheap plasticy cars. OK they shift but interior has the feel of a 1970s Ford Cortina

@JakeBirkett oh its awesome. ive even decided to get an rb5 next year!

[JakeBirkett]

@stitcha123 Glad you are loving it. The dump valve and decent exhaust like you have will make it sound rad. They handle so well and the power is awesome.
