Well the time has come ,after 10 years in the scooby seen inc 4 years of ownership of this one, to sell my White Bugeye WRX.

I started out with a 1995 WRX import which I modded a fair bit



After a short spell in a supra I got myself my second scooby, a 1998 uk turbo which was also fettled a bit




Then it was onto my current Impreza. When I bought it, it had already been well fettled with a VF34,sti pinks, sti FMIC,baileys dump valve and a full mil trek sports catted exhaust. There was also a set of morrettes, 18" alloys, lowering springs and after market rear spoiler.



Over the next few years I started to add my own touches with an OEM front splitter, fog covers and a few purple hoses.






Next was the fitting of a genuine Spec C roof vent with the help of JonMc





Then came the birth of my amazing son so mods stopped for a while apart from a headlight swap to HID JDM headlights and a JDM style grill



When I started again I ditched the baileys and changed to an HKS SSQV.



Since then I had added a prodrive front bumper, different alloys, Sti high rear spoiler,FMIC with black powder coated pipes and purple silicon hoses. On the inside I changed to Sti8 seats and door cards, chrome sti handles, flocked dash board, carbon effect dash kit and relocated my gauges which I had fitted previously on a dial surround, then A pillar pod and finally a carbon top dash mounted pod.
I also added a full set of brembos with Aztec performance discs and performance friction pads, also large rear handbrake shoes and purple HEL brake lines. And that is pretty much how it is now as I am at the writing this after having driven it for the last time.



















.

I hope to return to scooby ownership in the future but for now my new car should keep me happy. I have bought a Seat Leon FR TDi with the BTCC body kit. I pick it up Sunday but was very impressed on the test drive and the fuel, tax and insurance savings will also be nice.

So did you PX the bug or did you decent money for it

I'd never sell mine, I'd rather break it and try and get some of my skinned knuckles back in the process

I sold it to a mate of mine for what I think was the best price. I have told him to join the msoc and if he does im going to tag along to the meets.

Some nice cars there mate
I had to do the same last year
I'm now a vw t5 van driver ( workhorse )
Just couldn't afford to keep a car that did 8,000 miles in 6 years
The pain slowly goes away

Thanks mate, I hope it does. Unfortunately I had no choice as my work is moving further away and I would be doing a 75 mile a day trip which would kill the scoob and my wallet

Lovely cars there Martin. Liking the new addition and I'm sure it'll be more cost effective aswell. No doubt will see you in a scoob again just as nice as the bug one day
