Default winno's bugeye

hi all finally purchased my first scoob

impreza wrx 2001 bugeye with a couple of issues but it was a bargain so I couldn t refuse it.
at the min the spec is:
Raptor vortex ss backbox and full catback system
Scooby clinic mudflaps
Collins dump valve
custom blue and black leather interior
tinted windows
flyeye'd rear lights and side markers
possibly remapped but no prove so I m guessing not

as I mentioned above couple of issues tapping/knocking from the engine think its a cam shim in the process of taking the engine out now for a look will update you.


anyway here some pics







after owning it 12hrs maybe its in this state

Hope the price took into account a possible bottom end failure. Not unheard of on older WRX engines.

That's cheap enough - mine is quite tappety although the clearances have been checked and it's fine on paper. It's been running like that for the 7-years I've had it.
