Unfortunately no mate the fun switch is only on for seconds before I flick it off don't want to stress anything. The pick up with it on is immense I've just got back from a blast and the cars a joy to drive so much it's put that smile back on my face

Martin

 

I agree about al pickup but by god it drives horribly if your not at full chat haha

 

Ok so only thing happened was a long awaited wash and a change of plate...












New plate added, little lower and wider now






After many a chat with Alyn@ASperformance something's in the pipe line now to build something new....

Martin

 

Very nice mate oohhh what's in the pipeline

 

Thanks Craig as always

Been through a few plans with Alyn@ASperformance and Scott@scoobyspares

The initial plan will be a freshly built 2.5 with a md321t with all the trimmings

Martin

 

Deffo one of my favourite bugs!

 

My favourite bug

 

Cheers fellas for the kind comments

Martin

 

Look forward to seeing that mate will be quite a transformation hope you've got deep pockets lol

 

Very nice,it is a very hard looking bugeye especially with those wheels they really suit the car.SJ.

 

Lol in no way deep craig spreading the cost so should still take a few months but will great when ready Alyns engines have been proven to be spot on so I'm quite excited

Thanks SJ really appreciate the comment mate

Martin

 

Oh I don't doubt his work for one second I really need to start saving more lol look forward to the updates

 

Fair does nicest bugeye I've ever seen well done for all the hard work and effort! I've just got 1 that looks like yours did the day you bought it! Don't no what to do first to make it look good preferably cheap ideas what do you suggest?

 

Haha start the saving craig you know you want to


Thank you buddy but you Havnt seen Frayz's car yet have you the 1st thing I did was take the wrx wheels off and replace with something nicer wether 17's or 18's makes a huge difference. Next I'd upgrade the headlights to either Sti uk, prodive ones you'd be surprised how much better it looks

08v is a lovely colour but a pita to keep clean

Martin

 

I think I'm gonna try and spray my lights like you did cos they look ace! Also hate the fog lights on the front think there to in your face! I keep looking at yours thinking its gonna take me soooo long to get half way to that haha keep it going cos your doing a ace job personally preferred it with the pink sti decals but still looks mint

 

Thanks mate its a never ending story I'm still forever making purchases lol. Good idea in the lights they will make a massive difference. I started on the cosmetics before I started tinkering with the engine bhp side. It's a slippery slope there on you'll know what I mean next year when you realise how much you've spent but it's all good fun

Martin

 

Haha if it looks half as good as urs il be happy! Lol you dont happen to have your sti gold rims still do you? And did u put your lights in the oven to get them apart? Im worried haha

 

Cheers mate, lots of hard work n thought out mods is the way forward. Rushing and buying cheap is always a no no. Gold Sti rims went a while back mate, now have two sets of xxr one summer one winter lol.

The lights do have to go in the oven, not for long and keep taking them out untill you can prize the two pieces apart. Put back in the oven to re seal with existing sealent then add more sealent to make water tight if needs be

Get a pic up mate so we can see yours

Martin

 

To stiffy or not to stiffy is the question???

Bought a set of stiffies mocked em up see what you guys think before I go fit them? Unsure or I wouldt of asked





What you guys think?

Also thanks to Alyn@ASperformance fresh oil, filter and rocker gasket kit received this afternoon ready to go scoobyspares tomorrow.

Martin

 

I have them as you know Martin.

They were on the car when I got it, cant say I much liked them initially but now I like them I would go for it myself, make sure you measure the gaps correctly!

 

To be honest Andy wasn't a fan before I seen them on yours but was unsure what they'd look like on mine. Thought theyd be a little lost with the spoiler being black too. Thought they just bolt in to the original holes in the spoiler? Have black double sided tape for top and bottom of the stiffy too

Martin

 

Suits the black car well iMO.

 

Look good imo, car has an aggressive look so it fits in well

 

Hmmm a bit unsure I think they are a grower

 

thanks mate

Cheers Roy don't want to ruin the standard look so unsure

Thinking the same Craig although once on think they're staying on will give it more thought before I decide to sell them

Martin

 

It doesnt really look standard on xxr's

 

My bad Roy meant subtle not standard

Got back from scoobyspares had a fresh oil and filter change and wing stiffies fitted. Real unsure but will keep them on see if they grow on me





Martin

 

What is hanging by the tow hook? Looks like the end of a curtain tie!

 

Love the spoiler with these fin's makes it stand out not that it needs to stand out anymore haha but ye definitely leave them on looks awesome

 

Haha that there Roy is a superstious keep the jealous eyes away sort of thing lol. Not that I believe it in the slightest me but have had it on all my cars. My maa comes round and ties it on. The one time I didt have one on the car only lasted 5weeks before being wrote off. Coincidence maybe? I'll keep it on just incase lol

Martin
