Talking Now this looks a fun Kit Car...

...and from the engine it uses, can silly power lol.

Down here in Cornwall, Scooby owners are Lucky enough to have the company Scooby Bits on our door steps. They provide Tuning, Servicing and parts. But they also provide a very interesting Kit Car, which some of you may have heard of.

It uses a Scooby running gear with a 2wd conversion kit for the gear box creating RWD hehe. Plus with using a subaru engine bolted to a very small chassis, I can only imagine the fun that could be had

The best bit is, All this fun and joy from building it and then driving it, can be had from £19,999. Considering other kit cars out there, I can't think of many that will give such a big power to weight ratio for the money.

Scooby Bits can also provide a very nice donar package consisting of...

Kit car donor package (all used).
Kit with uprated engine 2.1 400/500 BHP available!!!!!
Turbo upgrade options
Decat exhaust, still track friendly but little more power
ECU Upgrades
Rota Light Weight Wheels: 17" x 7.5j and 17" x 9.


And this is it...



And heres a couple if vids

Looks a right handfull! A slight slant towards being a competitor for the KTM X-Bow? Llandow hasn't changed, still a bumpy track that can't shift the wet stuff!

I can sell potato's to a paddy
I can sell cloths pegs to a Gyppo
I can sell sand to an Arab
I can sell salt water to a sailor
And I can haggle with an old lady selling a Fabergé egg from £1.50 to £1 in a boot sale.


But I don't think I could convince my misses that this is an ''everyday'' car.

Won't be allowed one!
