My WRX
Hi everyone this is my Bugeye WRX, bit of a long story as i wasnt actually planning on buying one haha. I had saved the money up to buy a Mazda 3 MPS but the week before i went to buy it i had a supercar taster day. Obviously all the dads queued up to drive the lambo's and ferraris, i drove the GTR but had one more car to drive of my choice. Time was running a little late and i saw in the corner a blobeye STI sat there with the instructor and no one had driven it all day, so i took a punt and never looked back! Never experienced AWD before and was just amazed how awesome the car was.
So out went the Mazda and in went the search for a Subaru, originaly i wanted a blob but with my budget i could get a better bugeye for the money so found myself a slightly ropey bugeye WRX. Came with a stock on purchase:
-TD04L remaped to 272BHP (crank)
-Prodrive look-a-like wheels
-Baileys dump valve, a little OTT for my taste
-Ebay boost gauge
I've always owned Toyotas and know what sort of mods are needed so having a Subaru was like starting a new school, but here is what i've done so far:
-STI Spoiler
-JDM STI clocks
-JDM STI Scoop
-JDM STI tmic
-JDM IC Spray kit
-Drilled and slotted discs, ones ive tried and tested on all my cars
-Mintex pads, good cold and hot i've found
-Braided brake lines
-Dot 5.1 full fluid replaced
-front and rear calipers replaced with new refurb ones
-Full indepth service
-Millers CFS 10w 40
-HKS oil filter
-NGK PFR7B spark plugs
-Fuel filter
-Magnetic sump plug
-HKS Hybrid panel panel filter (had induction kits in the past, not a fan)
-Castrol Syntrans gearbox oil
-Ebay front and rear strut brace
-Re wired KPH/MPH module as last one was a cheap ebay one that kept cutting out the speedo
-JDM VF30 turbo
-Samco and Perrin boost hoses
-Uprated radiator hoses (soon to be fitted, sat in the car in a box)
-JDM grill
-Momo gearknob
-brand new headlights and bulbs
-Windows tinted
Things on the "To do list"
-Respray alloys
-Install Goodyear Eagle F1 A2 tyres (sat at home)
-General paint TLC, the body is a little worse for wear
-Possibly stiffer springs?
-STI foglight covers
-Better boost gauge
-Better BOV
And thats about it! sorry for going on for ages but atleast its all there (i think)
