Bugeye WRX Wagon

[CDubs]

So as some of you may know, i picked up a 2002 wrx wagon a few months back and traded in my 04 trailblazer for it. Well i got it with 102xxx on the clock now its up to 109xxx (i know i drive too much but all the snow this winter didnt help cuz i had several drifting sessions with other subie friends) VJF suggested i make one of there a while ago and now that I have a few things coming in I figured ill start it.

Mods
Black housing headlights (diy)
JNA performance catback exhaust
Invidia Bellmouth downpipe
07 STI catless uppipe

Plans
Red Rally armor mud flaps
hella supertones
paint stock wheels white and splatter with world rally blue paint
possibly lower it soon
bigger TMIC
new injectors and fuel pump
STI turbo

my goal is to reach 300whp comfortably and leave it there with a safe tune

man the interior kills these cars for me. i love the car but the inside reveals its true econ purpose may i ask why you want to "spatter" paint on your rims? do you have any examples? looking forward to updates kid!

i like the interior, and why would i like to splatter my rims...well why not really, gives me something different to do stand out a little

example...similar to this but not as crazy

quick update on whats been going on....bought a catback exhaust about 2 weeks ago from JNA Performance....luckily they are based in CT so i didnt have to pay shipping and drove the 30 minutes to go pick it up no pics but here is the link to see it

then i stumbled upon an Invidia downpipe on ebay for a pretty good deal so i won the bid and picked her up

http://roosrule.com/04-05-wrx-exhaust-down-pipes-c-190_215_217/invidia-wrx-sti-v2-downpipe-catless-p-893

i also had an 07 STI catless uppipe waiting to go in for months now so decided to go completely catless all in one shot (the up pipe for you none\ subaru people is the pipe connecting from the headers and the bottom of the turbo and is one f***ing b**** to get off especially with every bolt rusted on there pretty damn good...after 4 hours of getting 10 bolts off i had no exhaust, uppipe and turbo on the car, and dont my engine is sideways so nothing is easy to get at)

while putting the new uppipe back in i bent the oil feed line that connects to the block and top of the turbo.....well being as that was rusted to s***s, it cracked and i did not realize it went to start the wagon up....and oil spits everywhere....so $50 later at subaru this morning i special ordered a new one and will have it in tomorrow....should have some videos and pics up tomorrow

i can't wait to hear my catless straightpiped wagon haha

yeah i really like the bug eyes they are awesome IMO, not trying to rub it in or anything haha but my friend has an 04-05 wrx with sti wings and hood scoop pushing 250 to the wheels, which is respectable, his brothers first car was an 03 wrx sedan and later down the road bought an 04 sti so ive been around these since i had a license haha

about f***ing time you made a thread chris!!

haha it also about f**kin time i started modding im so happy with the way my exhaust sounds and it came out amazing...pics in a few days when its not raining lol

 

[Lopez619]

[UCCRacing]

Looks great!

So you traded a trailblazer for it huh? Good Choice?

I have an 03 but it has 147k so I am afraid to even try a trade in at this point lol

i knew you'd love it more after opening up the exhaust!! i need video clips bro, i wanna hear that JNA!! i have the same downpipe as you, just catless.

so, have u gotten a tune yet? you're ready for a stg2 tune, which should put your awhp slightly higher than crank hp

 

[CDubs]

I dig it

thanks!

will have updates soon getting red rally armor mud flaps on wednesday and about to purchase some 18x9.5 enhkei rpf1s, payment plan of course since i dont have all the money in hand

 

[anfrey]

very f'n nice! i had the red urethane rallyarmors on the blue bugeye but traded them for black ones. they look much better on a sedan. and nice and wide rpf1s, hell yeah.those fenders will definitely need to get rolled though. you gonna run 235s?

[mymmeryloss]

This build thread needs more piktars!

Love me some bugeye!

 

[Lopez619]

Wait, if your going to fit that wide of a wheel, won't you need to lower it and add some camber in order to make the wheels tuck?
