my sti replacement, erm an impreza
Hey guys,
As some of you know, i had to sell my widetrack sti, due to the mrs losing her job and us expecting our second child.
I had looked around for a suitable replacement, looked at sorentos, then leon cupra r, i finally spoke to my mate kevc who said his old bug was for sale, so i approached the owner and here she is.
*
2001 bugeye wrx with just over 70k on the clock, been really well looked after,
Spec list is as long as your arm lol
D2 8pot brakes
Lowered on new shocks
Japspeed fmic
Full 3" decat with raptor
Flcocked dash
Intake
Mapped
And more
I picked the car up last sat, tbh the brakes were shocking. I hoped it was just bleeding but turned out to be the pads seized on both sides, hence a low pedal, 150 later, new pads in and good brakes,
So i decided on a quick colour change
*
*
Did the fmic too
*
Now i was never a fan of the bumper, sorry kev so i managed to find and chop up a prodrive bumper
*
*
*
Then turned my attention to the inside,
Removed the old single din hu, in favour of a double din Bluetooth unit, i then blacked the dash pieces and added a red jdm hazard switch,*
*
Had to use flash on this pic sonit looks terrible, alot better in real life
*
Final thing was a service
*
Today will be a quick clean up and wax, then ready to use for Christmas.
Cheers jake

Very nice mate. I have a soft spot for white bugs. I sold my bugeye and had a mk1 cupra r running 280ish. Complete nightmare everyweek a different sensor or coilpack would fail. Now back in a blob wrx and staying there.
