Maybe. If he knows his stuff though you’d think he’d notice that his point is normally contrary to the links he posts.

I don’t think nobody is fishing. I think he’s just one of these weirdos who doesn’t like people doing anything different to him. He’s been a cock since he joined. It’s not just the scooby thing. I meant monkeyman. Nobody knows his onions, see above^. He likes to share what he knows but doesn't like discussing it!

Monkeyface is an out and out troll; no doubt at all. Nobody might know his stuff; I just don’t know what his stuff is! Gearboxes presumably? He’s got fucked up opinions on what they’re worth that’s for sure. Basically, fuck all if they belong to anyone else, £1500 if they’re his. He certainly knows bugger all about what triggers BIVA.

He doesn’t seem to know how bloody strong they are. He’s convinced that a Vw box won’t cope with a a simple engine upgrade. Lots of people with personal experience would say otherwise.

Well he does fix them so he should have some idea? I spanked my 1600 box in no time with my 2020 and I doubt that was coincidence. And lots of torque is well known for pushing the main bearing into the nosecone on 6-ribbers.

Maybe if they’re on the way out anyway? Until recently just about everybody who fitted a scooby engine did so to a stock gearbox. I cant remember ever having heard of an issue? His statement is that putting a scooby in WILL destroy your box in weeks. Quite simply it won’t!

His statement is that putting a scooby in WILL destroy your box in weeks. Quite simply it won’t! Yes, he should have said "finish it off". As for trolling, just because someone has a different opinion doesn't make them a troll even if they express it more than once. That's not aimed at you particularly, but "trolling" is an accusation that's only ever expressed in Subaru threads by Subaru lovers. Methinks they protest to much and stooping to that accusation demonstrates nicely that they have no real arguement.

Sorry about wrecking your thread Robbo. Unfortunately I can't grab the last couple of pages to make into a new thread, though I could delete them from here if you like. Perhaps when the bun throwing stops I'll have a tidy up.

You’ve got a very short memory if that’s what you think!

I missed your moons comment earlier. He’s nothing like that in real life. He’s not even like it online really. He just dislikes idiots!

So in my quest for more storage and after buying some cheap seat covers which didn’t fit & some rear seat pockets I got my mums sewing machine out and modified the seat covers and incorporated the rear seat pockets... I’m not going to be taking sewing up as a full time job or even part time but once I got the hang of it I went bonkers knocking up a couple of simple envelope type covers one I added some padding for the tv, one to store a vent grille & then a couple more to store my curtains in & my awning bits 😂 I reckon my mum would be having a good laugh at my wobbly sewing but be quite pleased I was having a go, Charlie also helped and was pressing the foot pedal for me which was quite nerve racking at times! Nice one on the sewing Robo it’s always good to have another skill under your belt 👍

I also managed to fit my posh new grille, not everyone likes this look but I do so don’t care 😂 Before After I got it for Xmas from Mrs Robo 😁 Makes me think of this a bit I think it suits though as it doesn’t have loads of slats It’s more of a meaner look than your old grill

Perhaps when the bun throwing stops I'll have a tidy up. Not at all, it’s a healthy discussion between descent peeps who I’ve had the pleasure of sharing a campfire with! If those buns are iced with fresh cream then chuck a few my way 👍🏻 Moons I’ve met and also shared a campfire with, he is very knowledgable but can still be conned by a 7 year old 😂😂😂
