Looking to get classic subaru gc8
 
Looking to get my first subaru thinking the classic (gc8) what tuning parts are there for it or places to get
Also is the blob eye and bug eye engines the same as the gc8 egg

There's loads of tuning parts for the classic depends how far you want to go. Full exhaust change from manifold to back box, air filter, turbo, injectors, ecu, suspension, brakes. There's so much stuff out there you can spend 1000's in a blink of an eye.

yeah you can spend thousands, if your local to pboro you got a few good places kinda local or within a hour reach

Make sure you get a solid one or you'll be spending 1000's on bobywork before any mods. Check the sills and rear arches, get your hand right up into the shock turret and if you can peel the inner arch liner back an look right down into the boot corners. Even better look for one that's had it all sorted. If your looking for later JDM cars it will be less of a worry but they seem to be coming up with small rust bubbles on arches lately.

Having said all that yeah you can literally spend thousands on mods, i bought one with mods this time as I've spent loads in the past. But you still get itchy feet to change things!! Good luck finding one.
