ZIPPY

Looking good Mr ' A ',thanks to Zippy for the fitting of the brakes,you do make me laugh,i wish it was just the bl##dy brakes,i've had my spanners out on your car more than mine.

Brakes twice,intercooler hoses twice,exhaust (Lost count) Intercooler,Cel Fix,Speakers,Spark plugs........Soz several times.

Nick isnt in the AA he rings Zippy.

His missus does a nice curry though,i take that as payment when i'm round at Grundgewater garages.

Go on man work out from when you bought it HOW MUCH it owes you,i dare you.

Zippy

Thanks for the comments guys!! (Exc Russ that is lol )
Can't go wrong for a fiver with those sunglasses anyway!!

Car came from Garage Knockaert in Ieper,Belgium!!

After a 'quick' tally up on what's on the spec list above,I've just come to a grand total of............ OMFG
















Just over £6.5k and that excludes fuel,servicing costs,replacement tyres etc!!! (I guess there's probably stuff that I've missed off too!! )
Holy ****,I hope Kay doesn't read this post!!!! lol

I must admit, back in the days when I'd just bought my classic and really wasn't a fan of the bugeye, I'd seen Nick's car in the local area and it always looked good.

I love what u have done to the car, and over the standard, it looks a hell of a lot better.

...and the more and more i see the bugeye's grow to likeing them more and more!

well done!

JackClark

Very nice indeed.

Eder22b

Very very nice

2002pete

very very nice nick good choice of mods.

yoza

Looks crap.........

But makes mine look crapper.

Mines 'worth' £12,000ish on a good day, so does that mean you will get £18,000+ for yours ?.......


Seriously, did you ever think "Sack this, Ill part ex it and put my £6.000 towards something else."

Or did it sneak up on you, if you know what I mean.

To be honest its the best bugeye WRX Ive ever seen, or riden in.

Later Yoza.

Spooks

Nick you have done virtually every thing I want to do/have done to my Bugeye..... no fair
I really fancy the prodrive 330 conversion you have fitted. How do you find em.If ya dont mind me asking how much was it?
Like the STi Intercooler, you notice any differance with it fitted?
Looks a great car neebs, one of the finest......... envy showing now
Spooks

Edcase

He bought em off me

Nick, talking of which can you mail me - bartlett_ed@hotmail.com

Thanks for the comments guys!!
The STi intercooler does make a difference IMHO....
The car pulls that little bit harder now with it!!
The brakes are a LOT better than the standard ones that's for sure.They help to shed sooo much speed off in so little time.Pedal is nice n firm now too thanks to the uprated front and rear pads!!
Spooks,I've sent you a pm with more info on the STi intercooler...

Cheers guys

Nick

P.S: Yoza,I only wish my car was worth £18k!!! lol The figure did creap up on me yeah as I've took my time modifying it rather than doing everything all at once (Little bit easier on the wallet too).But to say I was shocked when I got to £6.5k is a little bit of an understatement lol

DJ WATTS

Look really nice mate.
Im getting the prodrive springs soon and i also fancy the S leggas.

One thing though, in the picture below it looks like the left rear bodywork above the left light is dented.
Please tell me its an ilusion.... :O

NickAdams

Nathan L

Whats more worrying is the attempt at reflecto **** in the bumper above the exhaust
