Heyup pal,

I got 52reg bugeye. Had lights changed to morette's. One thing i would suggest if you're thinking about improving the cars performance is to stay away from the prodrive pack that subaru offer. I had one fitted on mine a few months ago, after having a run on the rollers on friday i find out i'm only getting 231bhp !!!!!!! A big waste of £1600 !!!!!! For the same money you could easily get 260bhp so shop around. Apart from that, car is great, love it to bits. Sounds good, looks good but only goes as quick as my FTO i had a few years ago !!!!!!

ENJOY

Everything is standard bar the exhaust. I have only had her a few months. I think the orginal owner had fog lights and the guy I brought her off got rid of them.

Was running 383bhp before going in for some upgrades... not out of choice, blew a piston!

Bugeyes look good with some nice prodrive bits on in my opinion

Heres mine mate. STI spoiler, STI fog covers (sprayed), WR grilles, performance creations flaps and Ocari (spelling) headlights.





Last weeks Auto Express rates the Bug-eye as the best Scoob in their article .

Is it just me or does anyone else prefer the rear lights on an 01/02 over all the other new age cars?
