Cool, thanks Dave. It's there because Martyn convinced me (or maybe I convinced myself ) that 506 wasn't enough

You got a nice kick from the E85!

Argh are you in for the g35 twisted set up?

I was nicely surprised although a 10% increase would be better lol. I'm going to enjoy it for a while as I haven't driven it in anger in 18 months now. More power will alwys be wanted

Yep - twisted set up

If you haven't driven your car in anger for 18 months then you'll love running with that E85 mix But.... as you say... more power will always be wanted!

Yes mate for sure - one problem though, I can't get the covers off??? I need a reverse torque socket and no one seems to have one if i don't sort it soon, then i'll drill it out

Thanks for the feedback gents, i am loving the new colour wasn't to sure it would work on the speedlines, but glad i went for it...

Hum… im sure your bug is perfect in each and every way, but even if it wasnt I personally would never disrespect anyone by dissing their pride and joy!
Tbh I thought the point of putting pics on here was to share your love of bugeyes with like minded people, and not to be slagged off!
The whole point of scoobies as I understand it is you can alter to your individual taste, one mans meat is another mans poison, as a result I feel there is no right or wrong upgrades parse’ if the individual loves it then its right for him or her.
Personally I detest white wheels, but I would never be so obnoxious as to assume im right and your wrong and hence suggest that you have ruined your pride and joy by fitting them, that I feel would be the epitome of bad manners. And as you so eloquently say “each to their own”

They can be sprayed to match your car, but theyre not made very well.
Have you had them on for an MOT i've heard stories of them being set up for left hand drive?

If you don't want to hear people's views then don't post, it's not slagging off, it's an opinion. I'm not not going to throw my teddies out of the cot like a nine month old in a tantrum just because someone doesn't like something about my car.

Hum, so having an opinion and discussing it in a civil and adult manner is now equated to “throw my teddies out of the cot like a nine month old in a tantrum”
I can only guess my parents instilled a better sense of respect than yours did with you.
Just read your own words, you were not airing your opinion, you were being disrespectful.

Just thought that I would post up some pics of my S202 here, I have posted them on other Scoobynet forums at some point.

It is 'fairly' standard at the moment; a full 3" Prospeed stainless steel exhaust, TSL Green Hybrid air filter element with a Bob Rawle remap to 348bhp/338 lbs ft torque.

I have some further modifications planned in the not too distant future;

VF48 Turbocharger
Fuelabs Fuel Pressure Regulator
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
Denso 650cc flow matched Injectors
Parallel Fuel Rail Conversion
RCM Induction Kit
SPT Induction Heat Shield
Ported Exhaust Headers
Gruppe S Exhaust Up Pipe
Cold Air Feed through o/s front fog lamp cover
JDM 3 Port Boost Solenoid
Further Remap by Bob Rawle to achieve around 400bhp or my latest thought is a Simtek with anti-lag, launch control and twin maps


Anyway some pics of the beast:

























My previous Impreza was a Hawkeye WRX and I had big plans for it but when I saw and drove the S202 I had to have it, it is much more planted, raw and fun to drive than the Hawkeye WRX was.

It took me a while to get used to the styling of the S202 but personally I think a Bugeye with JDM HID headlamps makes for the best looking car.

Any criticism or praise most welcome.

Nice car, unusual colour

CF - love the 202, offer still stands on looking after your rear spoiler

Each to their own and all that. Everyone has different tastes, what makes the Scooby world so amusing.

Personally I'm not a fan of the massive scoop and front splitter, as I think it's a bit of step back towards the Dimma big body styling that was so popular in the early 90's, but if it makes you happy, good for you!

Nice one m8, finally someone talking sense at last

You know the biggest joke in all this, i actually agree with the comments regarding the rear lights, (but they were cheep, better than the originals and i was broke) and actually kinda accept the point regarding the scoop (was on the car when i bought it) What got my heckles up was the disrespect shown to myself.....Oh well alls well that ends well i guess... Like my granny used to say "Worse things happen at sea" A wise old woman was me gran!
