hi all, just moved to Ireland from London a few weeks ago and brought the scoob with us.
The mrs was born and raised in Dungarvan, Co Waterford and has family over here. We also have 3yr old twins, so it made sense to move back home!
I have a V1 JDM Wagon on UK plates. Its being taken off the road next week when the insurance runs out as I need to do a bit of work to it before I import it and get it NCT'd etc, which will hopefully be happening in the spring.
It started out as a V1 JDM Auto wagon. before I got it, someone put an RA engine and box in it and disabled the ABS. the box blew after I had it so its now got a non RA box, quick rack, BC Coilovers, Cobrasport 3" stainless exhaust, 3" Bellmouth sports cat down pipe (Which will be replaced with OE for the NCT). Its been de-snorkeled so you can hear the TD05 sucking, 1990's HKS SSQV VTA DV (And I have a spare), custom TMIC whch is a V3/4 IC but with the underside Y-pipe connections capped and the connection taken from the side of the IC instead. finaly it has an Eclipse Performance chip raising the boost to 1.1 bar and mapped to run on 97ron fuel. I have always run it on 95ron fuel with a millers fuel additive that raises the RON by 2 points. Done about 24K miles in the car like this with no issues !
Its been on a rolling road at 274BHP but wouldnt rev past 5500rpm due to the boost restrictor pill missing. I was told it would have made 290-300BHP had the pill not been missing. I have since replaced the missing restrictior pill, but not been on a rolling road since !
Heres the latest pic I have (A few years old). since it was taken, the indicators and sidelights have been replaced for black ones to match the headlights and I changed the front grille. The carbon bonnet doesnt look as good now so it will be changed once I get it past the NCT. Oh, and its on 17's now with 4-pots up front

I always liked classic wagons. Green is a rare colour. It looks nice.
