did they change on the 2001 bug eye? and what are they now? didnt they used to be 6 months/7500 miles?

 

Yes, the early bug eyes had 7500 miles in the logbook. If you sent it back you got a new log book with 10,000 miles in it

 

thanks mate

 

Some; if not all, non-UK cars retained the olders service intervals though...

 

UK cars changed in 2001 with the introduction of the MY01 bugeye, some euro imports will still be at 7.5k or 6 months and as GC8 states, JDM models are still 7.5k or 6 month intervals.

is there any tell tale signs a wrx bug eye is an import??

 

Yea, it will be quicker

 

haha they 225 aint they?

 

If it's a Jap import it'll have a rear windscreen wiper and probably tinted windows and colour coded side skirts.

It will also be quicker.

 

If it is a Japanese domestic model it will have a chassis number; all European cars will have a 17 character VIN number.

 

Nope not correct.. they changed just after i'd had my second service (and first 6 monther) for my Bugeye... when i got it in Jan 2001 it was 7500 miles.

They gave me a new 10000 mile book and stamped it all up.

I'd guess it was august/sept 2001 when the change took place?
