Steve's Bugeye WRX PPP
Never had a thread on my car on here, so thought i'd sort one out. Its very much one of the slowest on here
 so rather than get drawn into listing the performance mods, i thought i'd just put a load of random pics up so you can see how the cars changed over the last 3 years  Call it a picture story-book, if you like! -------------------------------------------- Taken on my mobile phone the day i first saw it, after a test drive. Enough to get the money out   Mmmmm orange bits!  First time on the rollers, 250.1bhp. Probably no different now   First proper clean....  .....Only to be covered in mud at Wales Rally GB!  Detango'd and fog lamp covers  Obligatory flaps   After the SES tunnel run  Beachy Head SES meet, summer 2008?  Strut brace added  Out on a frosty morning in Sussex  STI8 twisted sideskirts added  New wheels!   ESC day out to Brighton (load of scoobs sounded good in Churchill 2!)  Front splitter added, and blue badge to replace the cracked old original one  Snow fun     New interior (all the way from Yorkshire....)  New shocks and Prodrive springs  SES track day at Brands    Dunsfold day out   Sitting a bit lower...  SES @ the Nurburgring. Can't wait for next year!    Ring sticker and Tornado2 backbox And most recently added - black Zunsport grilles   So. What next?

Looking good as always Steve, and yes get rid of the table top and stick something big in its place, keep up the hard work buddy, grills look very good and suit the car.

cheers guys, managed to pick the grilles up off a guy on scoobynet, can't believe that the black ones are over £200 for the pair new
 but really pleased with how the look when fitted. thought about getting silver ones but it would just look way too bling  not surprised about the rear wing comments from everyone either can't decide what to do though. i quite like the spoilerless with lip idea, but i'll need to find another bootlid or get holes filled and repainted so its hassles. Easiest bet would be just to drill more holes and put and STI wing on it, but they're not cheap (especially once painted). And when one crops up in WR Blue, the whole world seems to be competing to buy it (not that WR blue is common - its popular!)

so this is the latest change
picked up a bootlid in the same colour this morning and fitted it this afternoon. was a bit dark in the photos as didnt finish until about 4:30pm but you get the idea. not as many spoilerless newages around as classics, so its something different.    Will be back on its 18"s soon.

the inovit torques are still in the garage. put the old wheels on over winter because i have to use the car in the snow/ice and don't want to risk curbing the 18"s!
once we know theres no more snow coming, they'll be back LJF - they are ET42 i think.

thought you wanted an sti spoiler? so this is a surprise! I do think scoobs should have a spoiler though i'm afraid....and i wonder what the handling might be at 'speed' without it!

i actually quite like it (i wasn't sure all along if i'm honest, i only decided once it was all fitted that i think it looks ok!). The idea in my mind was always that if i didn't like it, i'd drill one of the bootlids for a big spoiler (not necessarily an STI one). With regards to downforce, i took it for a quick run yesterday and couldn't tell the difference. Haven't thrown it into any corners at high speed but don't think the wrx spoiler exactly did much in that sense in the first place

Gotta say Steve, I think it looks really nice, better than with the low level spoiler.

Not sure if i'll keep it like that forever or not. I'm considering the one in this thread if i change my mind: http://bbs.scoobynet.com/859457-adju...spoiler-2.html Although i'd probably have the blade carbon wrapped.

Bit of an update.... now have a second bumper (thanks to Jura) with side spats and diffuser to go on
If anyones fancies giving me a hand over the weekend fitting the bumper, it'd be handy as its a two man job to get it lined up. I can supply tea and biscuits as a reward! Longer term, not sure if the spoilerless look will stay or not..... indecisive as always!
