Looking to Swap my Newage for a Classic
After many weeks of humming n hawing I think I'm gonna see about chopping in the Bug for a Classic STI like I used to have.
Now I'm part of a car share I only use the scoob at the weekends now so everyday liviability isnt required.
Need to be an S plate or above as the Mrs bought me a private plate for my 40th that begins with an S.
General Spec:
Silver Bugeye 2002
133,000 miles
Fresh MOT & 6 months Tax
VF28 Turbo
550 Injectors
Hawkeye STI Intercooler with Uprated Y pipe
Blitz Supersound DualDrive dump valve.
Wing mounted induction kit
Stainless C&C back box
Eibach Springs & KYB shocks
Front strut brace
Project Mu Discs
Apexi AVCR boost controler
Trackhound remap with launch control
Enkei RP-F1 Superlight wheels
Walbro Pump
STI Inlet Manifold with Tumble Valve Delete
Clarion in dash 6 disc changer with MP3 WMA capability
Link to my project page with pics and more info: http://www.scottishscoobies.net/show...ers-Bugeye-WRX
Made just over 305BHP on the power runs with a split header now the headers have been replaced spool and power is defo better, I had to adjust the AVCR down a bit to stop over boosting after the new manifold went on. The car is still fulley catted, Alistair from trackhound says theres still at least another 30 brake to come when it gets decatted (further mini map will be required for this).
Bad points:
New tyres just rub the rear arches, looking to get those folded or rolled to stop this.
Local car was jetwash took a bit of paint off the drivers wing mirror.
Mrs Scraped the front bumper a bit but it's not bad.
Clutch can slip a little in 5th if you bring in the boost too fast.
So if anyone fancies a change to a newage and has an import WRX or STI 1998 or newer and might like a swap give me a nudge, I might consider a UK Turbo thats had some mods too. Not interested in wagons though sorry
I might consider selling too and then shopping around for a classic,
£3500 ono
