Why do so many people modify their vehicles? Perhaps it's because people want something a bit different or are never satisfied. Whatever the case or need for modification, can people ever be sure that what they buy and modify is either a worth while purchase or effective...... sure, but normally only after they have spent their hard earned! Hopefully these articles about the ScoobyNet Spec C, will give an insight of what is involved in various modifications and also based on what we found, what actually works.
 Not too long ago I purchased a very nice UK PPP STi, with the view that I wanted something that was UK, was covered by a main dealer warranty and would not be modified over anything other than Subaru approved equipment. The reason for this? Well…. I had previously owned  several modified Cosworths (and a previous Scooby), with the previous car being a 500+bhp RS500. With the 500 becoming very rare and the fact that I didn't use it that much since it had stopped becoming a normal road car, I decided to change for something that was a bit more practical.
After purchasing the UK PPP STi (I was over the moon with it, after buying it privately from these forums) all was good for a couple of weeks, the car was fine and the power was adequate…… unfortunately this soon changed as I made the fatal mistake of looking at threads on ScoobyNet about modifications…… the modding bug took a grip!
Talking to a number of companies about what was available, giving me a fair increase in power but being reliable was paramount. After a conversation with a particular individual, it was pointed out to me that by far the better platform to start from (if the choice was available) would be a JDM spec car. Of course I always knew the JDM car was better than a UK car (as regards to spec and tuneability), but my reasons for buying what I did would not of allowed this.
 Fortunately I managed to track down arguably the ultimate modern day Scooby…. a Spec C!!! This time I wasn’t going to get caught out, so decided on going the full hog!
