Morning everybody, newbie here!


I inherited my Bugeye WRX late last year when my father passed away. It's been in a barn up until about 2 weeks ago and now I'm on a mission to get it back on the road.

I've got quite a few bits sat in my living room waiting to go on, including coilovers, fmic, a td05 and lots of other little bits!

welcome to the group , why left in a barn ? coilovers yes i would the other bits if it’s running ok i personally would not but that’s your choice , part of the reason is the strength issues of the 5 speed box , it looks like a nice car , a cat back system and a remap if not done already is a definite yes if it was me , plus all fluids gbox diff brake clutch cam belt , is any thing else decayed on it, was it sitting for long the looks of the dust it was

Thanks. It only sat whilst my Dad's affairs were sorted. It's been sat for about 11 months. There are plans in the pipeline for a 6 speed box! Apart from the rear silencer which my Dad had fitted, its standard. Also doing all the belts in a week or so.

Welcome along, the 6 speed set up isn't really needed unless you chasing big power, the gearbox in your car if treated correctly should take 340bhp ish all day long, after that your engine will be on borrowed time anyway.

From what I understand, with the mods I have I should expect around 320bhp - 340bhp anyway, which is plenty for me. (At the moment).

Very nice! I live on The Roseland, near St Mawes.
