my sti replacement, erm an impreza
 

Hey guys,

As some of you know, i had to sell my widetrack sti, due to the mrs losing her job and us expecting our second child.

I had looked around for a suitable replacement, looked at sorentos, then leon cupra r, i finally spoke to my mate kevc who said his old bug was for sale, so i approached the owner and here she is.

2001 bugeye wrx with just over 70k on the clock, been really well looked after,

Spec list is as long as your arm lol

D2 8pot brakes
Lowered on new shocks
Japspeed fmic
Full 3" decat with raptor
Flcocked dash
Intake
Mapped

And more

I picked the car up last sat, tbh the brakes were shocking. I hoped it was just bleeding but turned out to be the pads seized on both sides, hence a low pedal, 150 later, new pads in and good brakes,

So i decided on a quick colour change

Did the fmic too

Now i was never a fan of the bumper, sorry kev so i managed to find and chop up a prodrive bumper

Then turned my attention to the inside,

Removed the old single din hu, in favour of a double din Bluetooth unit, i then blacked the dash pieces and added a red jdm hazard switch,*

Had to use flash on this pic sonit looks terrible, alot better in real life

Final thing was a service

Today will be a quick clean up and wax, then ready to use for Christmas.

Cheers jake

Nice looking WRX and a good upgrade from the Widetrack blob,:D now you too will discover the joys of the WRX 5 speed.

Agree with the bumper swap too, prodrive bumper is by far the best looking on a bug. :cool:

very nice, bumper looks so much better :)

Very nice is that jake :thumb:

thanks guys,

ive already found out that the wrx, is a million times better in every way to a sti :)

Some nice changes there mate do love a bug and with a prodrive bumper transforms it

Do you start spraying parts of your cars before you've even signed the logbook? :D

Looks nice. Front bumper looks MUCH better.

well i had the bumper before the car haha

Looking good pal, take care of it :)

I'll be down sometime to take a nosey !!!

cars all clean for now,

also added the side bits to the grill, fit much better

Much Better. What sort of power output do you have ?

prob 270 ish

Very nice mate. I have a soft spot for white bugs. I sold my bugeye and had a mk1 cupra r running 280ish. Complete nightmare everyweek a different sensor or coilpack would fail. Now back in a blob wrx and staying there.

ive had about 5 cupra r, while there a great car, the traction issuses in wet and winter are what swayed me to keep with the scoobs

looks great, prodrive bumper is a must, i bought one for mine but never ended up fitting it.

Nice Scooby. I'll go against the flow and say the splitter on the old bumper made it more interesting!

Not normally a fan of the Bug, but that one looks nice. :thumb:

Looking great Jake:thumb:

very nice looking bug, white is by far the best impreza colour in my opinion

Quite nice bug there make :)

Needs a roof flap :D

Martin

Nice:thumb:

I know mart once you flap u dont go back

Very nice mate, makes me miss my bug even more

Dont normaly like bugs but that looks very nice

Car still looks good jake..it was approx 275/280 bhp when i had it cant quite remember. I didnt have the intake or front mount on it though. Car was mapped by jgm ecutek. Glad to see it back in good hands

Looks very clean, like that a lot!!!

Those are the wheels im going for,

Ive put the feelers out for swaps for the xxr.

It needs a new air filter, so thats after Christmas now

can't beat white and gold combo:thumb:
