swifty1981 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 i picked this up thurday night its a 2001 wrx bugeye with gold metel flake. prodrive exhust and a pro drive spoiler. im not sure if it is running right because it doenst seen to be as quick as my 2000 turbo so i think im going to have to get in pluged in.
20withascooby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 looks clean but imho cant beat a classic though u said it was silver with gold flake
granby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Very nice mate, don't see many in that colour Is it standard engine wise, if so then it will probably seem slower as newage cars are heavier than classics, more the reason to start modding
swifty1981 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 looks clean but imho cant beat a classic though u said it was silver with gold flake did i lol must keep getting confussed, i still have the classic to
tony_cousins Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Same colour as mine !!!!! Nice car matey, they always feel slower than the classic but they handle better as they are stiffer !!!!!
granby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Same colour as mine !!!!! Starting to get common now
tony_cousins Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Starting to get common now Yeah but no but yeah , mines getting a facelift and possibly a colour change too
swifty1981 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 Very nice mate, don't see many in that colourIs it standard engine wise, if so then it will probably seem slower as newage cars are heavier than classics, more the reason to start modding i found out today that is decated all through. has a k&n air fillter and it is meant to be chiped. but not sure im going to have to get i checked out

20withascooby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 chipped and you still think its slower myt have a cheap chip it in from ebay that myt be causing the problems just a though
scoobytibs Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 if it had all that done would of been quicker than classic i would of thought ....
tony_cousins Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 if it had all that done would of been quicker than classic i would of thought .... It may feel slow but in reality is not, newage cars have better gearing and they drive differently giving the impression they are slower but side by side they are not
20withascooby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 scoobytibs didnt pull away too fast from me and shiralee thought u wudda shot of but only when u got to that 6th gear and then u went
tony_cousins Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 scoobytibs didnt pull away too fast from me and shiralee thought u wudda shot of but only when u got to that 6th gear and then u went I like my 5 gears lol Six is too much !!!!!
dazzlers82 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 newage cars are slower than classics an just to be safe if you think it has a chip get it checked not a bad looking bug either mate
20withascooby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 i wish i had 6 gears so its not sitting on 4000rpm doin 50 in 5th lol petrol goes coz turbo is spinning already lol jut wanan cruise along smoothly
swifty1981 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 yeah my brothering law said the same thing, that it is prob is as quick, but does it differently. think iv just got used to the classic throwing you in to the seat when the turbo starts
swifty1981 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 newage cars are slower than classics an just to be safe if you think it has a chip get it checked not a bad looking bug either mate cheers. yeah i am going to have to get it checked out to see what it is doing i want to fit the boost gauge from my classic so i can see what it is boosting at
20withascooby Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 you got a buyer for your classic yet ?????how much diff in insurance ??
