Jimbo's Version 7 JDM Bugeye STI
Always wanted one of these, was seriously looking around 2015 but ended up back in another EP3
But finally back at 8250rpm again
First thoughts on it are, holy smokes it bloody shifts. Fair amount of Lag below 3.5/4k but then all hell lets loose.
Going to take some adjustment to my driving with the AWD and turbo.
It also feels humongous compared to my Eunos I have just sold
Everything is immaculate, the seats have had covers on for the last 18 years!! They are basically new.
All the door trim and sill plates still have the original protective plastic on from 2000, Well they did have until this morning.
Upgrades:
Sports cat
HKS Mushroom Air Filter
HKS Fan Controller
HKS Boost / temp / pressure Gauges
HKS Turbo Timer
Rear tints
TGV delete
Air con delete
Mapped to 350bhp / 350ft/lbs on V-power
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
Mishimoto Radiator
3.5" Exhaust system, came on the car from Japan but haven't figured what system yet.
Subaru body kit
I thought it was going to be overly loud with the 3.5 system and sports cat.
But the sound is perfect, I can get it off my drive without waking neighbours, no drone on motorway.
But can make plenty of noise on boost. Perfect combo!
Got a little shock when I planted my foot on greasy slip road and exited in a 4WD drift when boost came on.
Will definitely take some time to adjust driving style coming from the Eunos,
where it was flat out everywhere just to keep up with Mr sunday driver tootling along.
Anyway here's some pictures (from the ad):

No big wing for me thank you. Would be interested in a spoiler of an s202 but thats it.
Yeah i haven't seen them before I got this, but a nice little touch.
Not in current ownership of a type r, but had many in the past and will always remain active over on TRO as they are a good crowd.

Fresh oil and filter done, Sorted coolant leak, bottom rad hose clip was failing on not tightening fully.
Swapped for a decent hose clamp, tight and no more leaks for now

Had her in for MOT, no rear fog installed, the car has had two MOT's in the UK before me but obviously got away with the fog light issue.
I was going to go down the converting the offside reverse light as a fog light but didn't want the red bulb showing through in the clear part of the lights.
So I installed a dual filament bulb into offside brake light and have ran a switch through to the dash which just lights both filaments.
It passed with no advisories after this
Learnt that at least a 1/3 of a tank of fuel needs to be in the tank at all times, fast right hand corner and had fuel surge.
Why did they only put the anti fuel surge in the spec C

I'm going prodrive style route, and have a set of Turinis on it. Still think the standard Brembos are lacking even with the DBA T3 discs and PF pads, braided lines and RBF600 fluid I've put in it; at some point I spy a BBK in my future
BTW rear tints were standard on the JDM as far as I know, and TGV's you wouldn't have had anyway as only the WRX's had them
They're fun cars, I'm enjoying mine, but if it hasn't already been mapped for UK fuel it's worth a look, and also check your HKS filter isn't too heavily oiled - it was one of my first mods on my first Impreza WRX and it coated my MAF and made the car run horribly; was fine as soon as it came off - worth keeping an eye on if it starts feeling a bit lumpy!
Enjoy it, you very rarely see a bug in white!

You can get various style LED bulbs with colourless LEDs, which light up very bright red (or any other colour). I have one in my STi 5's converted O/S reversing lens.
LED red fog tail
Do it - it's the only way to fly! lol
