Pinto powered Scooby
Pinto powered Scooby
To say I was shocked was an understatement!
This started life as an RA, the ultra light Impreza, that had been bought for £500 as a rolling shell. Stuarts boy had wanted to start drifting and an MX5 was bought and was sitting in the back of the workshop when Stu got thinking about the RA. Next thing it was converted to RWD and the gear sold for £250, a 2.0 Pintp and gearbox was bought for £250 and viola, a learner drift car that can get it's out, without being uncontrolable for £500. If he likes it and gets the bug, Stu's going to drop in a BMW V8 or SRDET lump.
When I showed a few mates the pics, the general reply was WTF! but when I look back to how easy it was to get the back out on a MK1/11 escort or capri, with about a hundred brake,it starts to make sense.
It's a bit different to Stu's own 800bhp Scooby, 'Monster' which he used to run in the old HKS Drag series

I went over to TFS Performance in Aldershot, to see my old mate Stuart, who I hadn't seen for a while. We got chewing the fat about this and that, looked at a couple of his customers cars, a Blue WRX that had just had a full 400bhp engine rebuild,a Purple STi with a money no object 600 BHP ongoing engine project that has taken 10 months and various bits and bobs. I was looking at some of the battered Scoobys out the front and asked if they were spares cars. well, said Stu, not the red one, that's quite intresting and opened the bonnet.
