As title folks, why would the blobeye be a better car to get? Has there been any significant changes apart from the looks? I understand the engine has 225 standard rather than 215. Fill me in

Mostly interior and exterior cosmetic changes but there was some very minor engine mods also larger top suspension mounts but not certain if front or Rear. IIRC

Plus they changed the ugly bugeye headlights for the even uglier blobeye headlights. IMHO.

well thats the thing, I think the headlights on the blobeye are far too big. however much prefer the rear lights on the blobeye !

Better interior, yes, the WRX as standard is 225PS.

So it comes down to looks......


Better get the Blobeye then lol

make use of bugeyes unpopularity, i picked my jdm bugeye sti for hell of a deal.

andrew02

hang on,wait just one second,when did they remove the rear badges?

I had a blob saloon and a bug wagon. The Blob had much better performance. Partly due to it being slightly lighter, however I think the 10bhp peak power increase hides what you could see on a power graph - a lot more power through the range.

i think the bugeye with the quad lamp headlights that make it look evil looks awsome!

Listener

You also get the fault with the rear shocks on the blobeye where they are prone to go. Thank f00k for the warranty!

p1mark

you can use the following analogy for a good reason why you should have a bugeye, Just convert it a little.......

Never marry a good looking woman, always pick a dog ugly one. Then you wont be too upset when she leaves you.

ScoobyNoob

Aye, and the flippin front shocks. Had nearside suspension mount problem, driver side front shock replaced and now front nearside shock is on it's way. Damn car is only 20 months old

Listener

The rear shocks I can imagine from hard accelerating, but if the fronts have gone how hard have you been braking?!!!

Will get mine checked at the 40k service next month.

Bug eye looks are hidious - and I admit blob eye isnt that great... very strange shape lights.

Zero Sport do a 'spoiler' kind of like an upside down eyebrow spoiler... it'll set you back £100 (unpainted)... I tried to recreat it and improve it slighty.

1st I tried black to go with my cars theme, now is colour coded... think I like the black better?






also some might notice my car is an 02 reg... it actually started life as a horrid little bug eye until the previous owner completely updated it to blob eye (money well spent on his part, lol)

d5hof

hey i saw you at TGI last month

pippyrips

if you are looking at jdm cars i think you also get uprated engine internals and higher redline etc - at least on the STIs

I have a MY06 STi Type 20 now but loved my Bugeye'd STi

I think the 'bugeye' in STi form looks really nice, but the std WRX looks a bit strange... where as in my opinion the 'blobeye' looks nice in both.

RMA26

My preference is Blob Eye

Yeah good meet... good location... its not too far from the Herts meets, the North London boys should come up to Hatfield and join in our meets... more the merrier I say!

BUGEYE is just all wrong..

It should never have carried the Subaru badge. How the hell did they end uup with that design coming from the classic.

I mean i know the Lancer and the Impreza were starting to look very similar but surely there were better ways to get the product to look different to Mitsubishi!

Ben v7

Agree with you completely there. Much prefer the head lights on my bug-eye to the blob-eye... just too big and out of proportion.

Bug-eye ALL wrong comments - you need to get a grip.

It handles better than the previous car and remapped and EcuTek'd is just as quick as the equivalent on the blob (revised manifold and tweaked map gave that extra 10bhp). Bug-eye is lighter than the blob-eye just to set the record straight.

Can't believe some of you are so narrow minded as to judge a car soley on the basis of it's headlights... which in *your opinion* you don't like. If your looking to win a beauty contest then why buy *any* subaru.

I go to plenty of meets and sure people say they prefer this shape to that but some of you don't seem very good at keeping things in perspective.

Some of you lot really f*** me off to be honest. This is a Subaru forum for all owners of the marque and this place is often let down by the sort of thing happening on this thread.

EVOLUTION

Shut up, because you are now guilty of the same thing, your slating another model of subaru





Give the blobeye the same treatment and do you still not have that same gap in performance???? thats a question BTW





ou have just judged the blobeye on its looks so your opinions now count for nothing more than ours lol

as for the second part of that, your dead right, i didnt buy mine for look, but i accept my blobeye is an ugly looking brute lol, its you bugeye owners that get wound up far to easily.






there you go proving my last statement lol. Your getting fooked off lol, you are the reason this happens, if none of you fish took the bait, we would have to move on to the next pond........




keep up the bites mate, im hoping for a whoppa next

It's not that I don't know what your doing - just think it's f***ing sad this is how you get your kicks.

yet you still fall for them



its funny, im sure himself and i are not the only oness who find this slightly amusing, only slightly though, its better than paper work
