My Bugeye sti prodrive progress with added xxr 527
Hi everyone,
Not put any pics up before but have to now as i'm very happy having had a busy day yesterday fitting lots of new goodies. Owned the car for 2 years and only covered 2000 miles due to work etc and wanting to build the car gradually the way I want it. Finally got my arse into gear and stopped building up bits in the garage. Yesterday I fitted my xxr 527 with yoko advan sport on a 225/40/18 and I'm very happy with the end result. She will lower slightly as the springs settle. Just had tein springs and new brake disks/red stuff pads/lines installed too along with full turbo back exhaust/decats / walboro fuel pump, sparks and fresh oil etc. After all that she had a wash and I even cleaned the engine bay. Over the winter I will be researching Turbo/injector options as I'm after 450 bhp and upgrading the ARB's and drop links etc. I have so many ideas and plans for this car and she's a keeper as she's only on 50,000 miles. Here are some pic's of when I first got her and how she stands today. Hopefully they will work. Thanks http://s51.photobucket.com/user/alex...ml?sort=3&o=12 http://s51.photobucket.com/user/alex...ml?sort=3&o=10 http://s51.photobucket.com/user/alex...tml?sort=3&o=4 http://s51.photobucket.com/user/alex...tml?sort=3&o=3 http://s51.photobucket.com/user/alex...tml?sort=3&o=0 http://s51.photobucket.com/user/alex...tml?sort=3&o=1 |
i do love those wheels
|
I know. Had my eyes on them for over a year now and finally bit the bullet and ordered them few months back. The yoko's have a slight stretch but unsure of the drive quality yet. Really love the look of the rims , look great when driving and taking a sneaky look in the wing mirrors
|
Very nice mate
|
They do look good, I'm just not sure I like the stretch look:wonder:
|
Very nice

Looks good buddy like the wheels a lot but then I would say that ;) If your Sti rims are surplus drop me a line :thumb: Martin |
Nice clean bug, loving the wheels, good job!
|
look great mate im looking for a set for mine think ill have a look at the xxr range ;-)
|
Nice one guys. Cheers for sorting them pics too. Yeah the XXR range are really good value and I have loved the 527 style for some time. As soon as the suspension settles and drops it should look mint.
Think I will sell my standard rims now , whats the going rate for a set of sti rims, 1 has a nasty kerb dent and the rest are quite good with a few minor scuffs (all repairable/resprayable). 2 need new tyres and 2 have loads left on yoko S drive, any ideas?? |
what et are the wheels?
they look great mate very nice] |
5 X 100 PCD - ET 35 - 8.75 J with 225/40/R18 Tyres on a slight stretch

Looks great
|
After having these fitted a few days now I can honestly say I have found a whole new love for this car again. I have spent way too much time cleaning her since too. I plan on blinging up the engine bay now

Look great pal.i had some on my Evo and were spot on.

Based on this post being 3 years old, I'd say you'll soon be at the point where these and Rotas will be out of fashion. Based on just about every car on SIOC and Youscoob having/wanting them it wont be long til they become the lexus lights of the subaru world, along with riveted on arches and stick on roof vents
