White 2001 Bugeye WRX AUTO (Yes Auto)

So I know what it says it is, but as far as I know none of these made it to the UK.

The wheels look older than the car and I have never heard of a Subaru 'tiptronic' so what is it?

Is it 'kosher'?

TIA

 

Rallyfan555 on here has an 02 auto wrx import. Maybe you could PM him for more details.

 

There are the odd one or two about. I looked at one when i was looking for my car.

 

I have seen the odd auto, but never one with the 'tiptronic' feature.

Does Rallyfan555's have this do you know?

 

The rear wiper would idicate it being an import

 

I've never heard of an WRX auto

 

Well it's definitely an import as autos weren't sold in the UK, but as I said I didn't even know they made a 'tiptronic' for any market, that's my query really, well that and is it any good?

 

The Aus market has WRX autos, but not tiptronics as far as I know.

 

Yes. You'll find him in the welsh section. He done a bit of digging on them and found a few facts IIRC

 

WRX NB Revision A auto (radio mast in a-pillar)........and they did come with a tiptronic thing but was never any good.

Ah the way you worded it i thought you were meaning there were no auto's sold in the uk. I know a girl that has two classic wrx imports both auto's, one wagon and one saloon.

 

Sorry as now I read it back I see what you mean. no worries

 

Thanks, will look him up.

Cheers. I have driven a classic WRX auto and it is surprisingly good (and I am an auto hater in general) so I wondered if this would be better again as have a friend who needs to drive when they visit me from overseas, but they only have an auto licence. Would have been a good compromise as a second car anyway.

 

A lad I know broke a car with a trip tronic gear box, he even tried to sell it on here for about £500 with no luck

 

They altered the Auto for the revision B cars because of poor performance LOL Then they droped the Bug RA because it was pants........

This is the version rallyfan55 has so yes it has tiptronic.

 

Ask Jura, he used to have a tiptronic auto. That's who Steve is referring to.

 

Lots of legacy's have tiptronic boxes and some legacy B4 twin turbo's even have paddle shift as well

 

As above only few models have Tiptronic,which i know(NB and 20k) and usually they're JDM WRX...

Driving with this its much better than with standard Auto mode,if its worth yes,if you are not looking for 400bhp+,this box will hold 350-400bhp without the problem,in my case we are want little bit more than 400bhp.Just don't confuse with Legacy Tiptronic 4EAT,which are totally internally different and they're not good as Impreza 4EAT with tiptronic.
If here in UK somebody will do upgrades of 4EAT like in USA,i would stick with 4EAT,but here in UK doing only one company which charging for this crazy money.


Jura

 

Nope its another lad I know who was selling one.

 

have serviced/driven a couple over the years and definately Tiptronic....

WITH MANUAL GEAR CHANGE "SPORTS SHIFT" ON STEERING WHEEL

As does that

 

Mine is an 02 Bug import NB-R limited run in japan land - car came with bigger wheels, not those in the pic, Sti suspension, vented rear discs, Auto/Tip box and a special rear wing as fitted to early jap Sti Bug's, the NB-R came in White, Silver , blue and black, HID Sti headlamps and fog light covers out of the factory - looks like someone has fitted the Auto system into a Bug eye. HTH

 

Each to their own but I find mine excellent
