Well, after buying a 1.6 Blobeye for the winter,
I was hooked on the noise only a Subaru has. The bug had bit, so the search for a bugeye was on. I've bought one that I know isn't perfect, infact it's been modified by someone whose clearly just watched 2 fast 2 furious and thought YES! I know what to do!
Bodywork wise it has a long way to go, not a fan of the headlights, bonnet, scoop or that spoiler so they're soon to be replaced. Other than that it has a decent amount of engine work done including a TD05 hybrid turbo, SARD High Pressure Fuel Pump, Induction Kit, Kinugawa Exhaust Headers, Turbo-Back Exhaust, Blitz Boost Controller, 3-Port Boost Solenoid, STI intake Manifold, Pink Fuel Injectors, Carberry Twin map with anti-lag and launch control and BC Coilovers. Previous owner claims 380bhp but nothing to back that up until I get it on a rolling road. Interior wise I added in the 10.1" touch screen but the rest is how it was. Door speakers are wired to an amp in the passenger footwell so I'll soon change that back to standard wiring. The central gauges don't light up as they should and oil pressure doesn't show so I'll assume not wired in correctly for now. Vortex generator is broken so new one ordered, not sure how to remove the previous bonding stuff though for a clean install.
It's far from perfect, but its a project and daily rolled into one
