Bugeye or blobeye? HELP!
 

Hi everyone.

I'd like some opinions from owners of the bugeye and blobeye.

I'm looking at getting a new sub but have only experienced the classic.

Now I'm torn between the bug and blob.

Personally I think the bug is more and attractive but should I favour this over the age difference?

What made you choose yours?
What would you choose?

Any info (facts) would be appreciated.....

Let me know if one is a stronger engine and what have ya....

Cheers in advance

What's your budget Jenson?

They're essentially the same car, except the front end body panels + both bumpers.

As almost nobody likes the bug eye, prices are depressed compared to a similar blob, so you'll probably be getting more car for your money if you go bug.

A Prodrive Bug is a very pretty car and it also carried Burnsie to victory so there's the kudos there. The seats are slightly different but you should really buy on condition. Both are superb so get out and drive some :)

I love my bugeye. The front end is stunning but yes blob and bug are exactly the same bar the front end and rear bumper

Around 3.5k
:)

Personally I think the Blob is a far better looking car but each to their own!! :thumb:

A blob is slightly more powerful and can be mapped easier with a more up to date ecu.
:-)

I love my bug but I also like the blobs. There are definetly more blobs around so i prefer being in the minority with my motor. But i wouldn't say no to a nice wr1.
It's down to your budget and the condition of the motors your looking at really.

Good luck!

You're looking at a WRX in a Bug or early (2002) Blob for that money.

I would suggest you go and look at this one http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...d-2003/1242208

Nick Johnson is a well known dealer and this one will have been taken in PX so you'll get him down to your budget quite easily. Your first task will be to replace those awful rear clusters though.

Get on the phone tomorrow :)

Thanks for your opinion :cool:

What do you guys personally think of this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Imp...item19dd3e0081

lol who told you that b0llocks..


its the same car ,I have a blob and my mrs a bug I can tell you they are identical bar the lights and bumpers as I work on both cars.

Thanks! :)

So really! It's all about what you personally prefer and can afford..?

Ps: nice cars you got!

only difference will be a widetrack blob sti is not the same as a bug sti but as you have £3500 your looking at wrxs and these will be identical apart from the stuff mentioned above.


the bugs not so bad with a few subtle changes.

Cheers!
What do you think of the sub within the link (despite the milage )

Its all down to personal taste i like the blob i paid 4250 nearly 2 years ago for a 2003 blob wrx ppp with genuine sti boot spoiler & other extras 45000 miles fsh private plate and a folder full of invoices good wrx's are out there if you look

Prodrive style bug sti are a great buy if you can find a good one .
I've had mine ten years great car.

Thanks!

I know a decent one will pop up...
It's just about waiting :-)

I ain't in no rush, plus, I've learnt my lesson rushing into things...
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT! ( so they say )

not keen on the bug eye looks

i've just bought another blob, 05 reg £3,600 :thumb:

don't worry over milage as long as it's got good service history, mine has got over 100k and is now running 330bhp :D

from 05 reg it has the update interior, much better IMO

Cheers..

Please take alook at my other thread
(What's this worth in your opinion)

I'm sure the blob has 5-10 more bhp in standard form? Not much really and the comment about the ecu was a well respected mapper's opinion fella. Probably a load of sh#te as i may have got the updated bit wrong

I also think the ecu was updated in the blobeye :thumb:

I've had both bugs and blobs both fantastic to drive as said above identical cars really.:)

:thumb:

Lo,l I think you need to check your relationship status, because she thinks your just friends with benefits.:lol1:

Im in the same boat, if i was going for the blob i would leave the styling as it is, but if your going for a bug eye like i intend to soon then i would say get the prodrive bits on the front and it looks mint othetwise im not a great fan of the original bug headlights

Personally I'd go for a bugeye, and thats coming from a blobeye owner! I think you'll get a better car mechanically for the same money, and tbh the bugeyes aren't that bad looks wise!

:thumb: he always says he's single, so I my options are definitely open

Like yah legs :hjtwofing

Im with you on that, I would entertain a bug unless it had the prodrive bits on the front. What a different car with it! How could you not have it :)
