WRC Lights for "Bugeye"
Hi All, (newbie here)
Looking for a bit of advice - I'm going to take a 2002 Bugeye WRX out for a spin tomorrow, seems a nice car altho its dependant on the sale of my car (RX8).... Couple of questions relating to the WRX - I took out a WRX last year and it was a 2004 blobeye (this was before i bought the RX8) and i'm wondering what to expect in comparison to this, is the blobeye a lot quicker?? Also, i like the look of the bugeye WRX as its quite understated but i hate the front lights and would need to change them to the quad lights which i believe are called WRC, as such i was wondering where you can get them, how much they are and how easy to fit......... any tips appreciated..... Thanks, Chris. |
Take a look at this thread... loads of options for the bugeye..

FORGET THE BUGEYE MODEL,GET A TYPE-R,OR RA V,LTD CLASSIC,
GIVE IT A YEAR, AND THEY WILL BE WORTH MORE THAN YOU PAY FOR ONE NOW. |
I've got the bugeye and I'm happy with it, although it could do with losing a bit of weight. Get it remapped or PPP and I'm sure it'll fly......
The bugeye has 215bhp, the blobeye may have 225bhp (bt I'm not sure, I don't know when they upped the output?). |
Hi Chris
The lights you are referring to are probably the 'Morrette' type.(quad lights) If you want the WRC car lookalikes, then look at www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk They are £468 a pair, and are almost identical to the bugeye WRC car. What you need to do ideally is spend some time on the internet and type in 'Subaru accessories or tuning' into a search engine like Google. Hope this helps. |
The main options for a bugeye are morrette quad lights these are usually about £320 a pair, STI lights which are much nicer than the originals or in my opinion the best are the black UK300 lights which are a gloss black plastic surround with 3 small seperate light units, these cost about £600 from Subaru but can sometimes be found on e-bay for around £200.

Hi Guys,
Yep i think i was confused and it should have been morette's i meant, like the STi ones as well but i know some change the wiring config which puts me off.... I took it out this morning and it was really nice, currently haggling on trade in prices so not 100% yet, as such i have a couple of follow up questoins now... What wil this standard "bugeye" WRX do 0-60 in roughly? How much will it be for the cambelt to be supplied and fitted by a "local" garage and not necessarily a scoob specialist? |
Evo magazine tested it at 5.7 secs, so roughly 6 secs in normal conditions, average driver etc.
