2001 or 2002?
hey guys
ive been looking into a 2001 bugeye WRX which i will hopefully be getting in the next few months. Ive been looking at a few mods, as you do
. Im just wondering the what the difference is from the 2001 model to the 2002 model. I didnt think there was a difference untill i looked at the mods that seemed to run 2002 - 2003 parts. 2001 car was always a different part. Am i missing sumit.
Hope that all makes sence. It did in my head
thanks
Chris

cheers for the feedback guys. Just seemed a bit strange why there were 2 different parts for 2001 and 2002 cars. Just got a bit worried

The best way to tell is that the early Bugeye's had the ariel in the drivers side door pillar and the later bugeye's had the ariel in the rear screen heater element.
Mechanically they are basically the same and both run 215 BHP

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm tempted to get some!

Yip, they are morettes - fitted before I got the car I'm afraid.
I believe Subaru has bought the rights to sell the Morette headlights now - they can certainly be ordered from the dealerships as they're on the accessories list
As for fitting, on 02 STI's they're a pain in the **** I think because the wiring is different to the WRX (which the morette wiring is for) - shouldn't be too difficult to knock up a conversion harness though.
