They'll be a doddle to fit expect for the resonator box in the wing. You could leave that off if you put a cold air feed into the airbox another way - ducting from the front bumper etc

Cheers bud, but it just takes a little bit of imagination, some care and help from the guys and gals on here - it's surprising what you can manage

Question



Whats that to the bottom left of the cone filter ? Has someone tried to make a feed for it or is that there standard. Cant see what purpose it serves and cant see where it goes.

That is the resonator box in the wing, it connects to the cold air feed that runs of the bottom of the picture. With the airbox it fits onto that pipe.

I have replaced that with air ducting....

Hey guys I just noticed this thread and figured I would show my 02 WRX Bugeye from the US. I swapped it this past spring and put in a JDM EJ207 MY05 STi Spec C Type RA Engine, 6 speed and Brembo's. Essentially a fully converted Bugeye STi, which never existed in the US.



Here is a Picture of my Winter Wheels haha.

It is a WIP as I have a FMIC to fit so some of the hoses will be blue, maybe time for a change of colour direction

Jon and Dave - you're both correct. The seats in that photo are simply the bugeye WRX bucket seats with Prodrive emblems ironed / stitched on.
I know that because they're the same as mine (sans Prodrive embroidery! )

My 01 Y WRX came with the airbag seats. However, they annoyed me immensely because they had so little side bolstering that if you took a corner too quick you ended up sliding off the seat and literally crashing into the door which I found VERY annoying.

I sold mine and bought a set of front seats off Domster from his X reg bugeye and find them more visually appealing and SO much more comfy and supportive than the airbag ones - just needed a few resistors soldered in to stop the airbag light coming on

It's like JonMc said they are the JDM STi HID headlights. I also baked the housings, so I could fully paint them Flat Black. I did this so I wouldn't have the chrome bezels in front of the Projector and Blinker lights.

Sorry I have no idea where you can buy any JDM STi HID setups at in the UK. Perhaps somebody on here from the UK can help you out with that.

You can only get the secondhand unless you import them yourself as far as I know. Ebay and the forums are the best bet, just keep your eyes open

You could always buy a UK set-up and add aftermarket HID kits. They are about £500+ from subaru

Yea I know for us in the US, they cost about $800-900 USD for used sets from Japan and go for $2,300 USD new from Subaru for the HID projectors...

Did you have problems baking your OE lights?

It's a pretty straight forward process, time and patience. I have baked and painted over 5 sets between myself and friends lol. I painted my JDM projectors because I don't like the chrome bezels. Now it's just a clean flat black

Have you got a photo hosting account like photobucket or flickr?

Not sure if you go to add reply then click the image icon at the top (Yellow looks like a hill and sun) if that works
