Default picked up my bugeye today

hi ppl , i finally got my bugeye home now my classic has gone . thankfully its all straight and seems fine in standard looking trim and even better without the aireal on the door pillar looks a lot smoother . the only thing that i have found is that it feels more grown up compared to my old classic which was fairly standard . i must admit that i had a tear in my eye when my classic left as the bloke reversed off my drive then curbbed both nearside alloys with a crunchas he drove off . time to start modding i think

Get a decent set of ARBs as your first change - really improves the cornering feel!

Adjustable rear ARB is the best value mod on my car....

Welcome to the bug-eye mafia !

Bugeyes are a good choice, enjoy the modding, although once you pop you can't stop. Like they say above, sort the handling, get some decent discs and pads, and then a remap to make it just that little bit more enjoyable. Might want to consider a panel filter and some decat work (you'll have 3 in there if it's a UK WRX) and a nice exhaust

have a look at some of the bugeyes on here mate, alot of the were bought in standard form then modded to suit, (including mine) they can be very nice cars if modded the right way

Sounds promising, lets hope it has been mapped for the decat too

Good luck come MOT time
