I run a bugeye WRX with dump valve and jap exhaust with high flow cat, i use the car everyday and run it on V-Power, I get 250 miles to a full tank, to be fair i've had some fun with Civics but the Subaru is clearly faster as long as u gear it right, under 3k revs there is no power, hit 4k its a whole new story!!

Mate, I'm running a 2001 bugeye WRX with just under 70k on the clock and touchwood, other than the LCD clock on the dash and a wheel bearing
I'm aware that until the Hawkeye, new ages (particularly STI models I think) did suffer from problems with rear suspension struts.

Have a 2002 sti prodrive style remapeed to 330 bhp , needed a lamba sensor replacing and the leaking fuel pipe hose under the inlet manifold and a new exeedy uprated clutch , car is a dream to drive , paid £6000 for mine was advertised at £7500 haggled him down buyers market this was september last year , would definitley get the sti over the wrx as it comes with the more robust 6 speed already fitted , larger injectors , larger brakes brembos , larger turbo than the wrx , car will just need a decat and remap to take car from standard 265 bhp to around 330 bhp , larger rear spoiler side skirts and embroided interior .

i test drove a type r before i got my scooby, and to be honest i never really liked it. found it quite tiring to drive(after about 15 mins) it was quite rev hungry to see any kind of power. also with the scooby being a turbo, it is much easier to tune.

Although a supercharged CTR does sound evil
