so being that 02 wrxs and what not are cheap as hell and still kinda be like a new car *well to me...
I never liked the looks of em, but being 02-07 all same chassis you could do the front and rear conversions..
but dam i just saw this on speed hunters
CAR SPOTLIGHT>>10.5J BUGEYE - Speedhunters (http://speedhunters.com/archive/2008/07/16/car-spotlight-gt-gt-10-5j-bugeye.aspx)

man that thing looks clean as hell.. soo simple... Probably wouldnt take much to make a comparable looking one. Be one sweet ass daily driver.
Just looks like you could drive it everywhere and not worry too much about the typical stuff you might go thru with a slammed kitted s13/s14 as a daily driver etc
Anyone got any info on these? Is the theft population big on these?
I kinda like the older Mirage to EVO conversions but i wouldnt have the time to do the drivetrain swap..

the front and rear conversions..what is this you speak of
and yeah impreza is great car to have as daily all year round for us with snow
but dookie has it right with the wagon

From what I remember they had a lot of transmission problems.
Just don't launch it if you get one haha.
Also, that one is sick but its wide bodied.
HyperTek
08-10-2008, 03:39 PM
well 02-07 is same chassis just remodeled front and rear tail lights, some people had updated teh bug eye to 04 or 06 front ends.
I always thought of these cars as ugly and everyone has em.. but after seein that example is making me think twice about em.. Cheap , turbo awd daily driver, and less then 10 years old so still a modern car.
Just curious as to why that one looks soo dam good.. i guess its got fender flares, shaved side markers and emblems and rear spoiler , lip kit and great stance.

google search shows that people have done it but it destorys the rear diff etc.. unless you beef it up Converting AWD to 2wd RWD w/ pics - Page 5 - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums (http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/powertrain/27532-converting-awd-2wd-rwd-w-pics-5.html)

i always wanted one but dont think i could afford insurance+selling my car and adding the money i need for one.
car does look like a good DD though, if you arent worried about gas, since you prolly will end up fully modding it, and spending lots and lots of money on random bits and pieces.

For the price of all the parts and paint you might as well buy a newer suby.

I personally would get a 2.5 litre WRX if I were set on a WRX. The 2.0 litre has trouble spooling aftermarket turbos.
STi's are getting cheaper so I would only get a WRX if I want to keep it stock.

you could trade your fc straight across if you have a lttle patience. just sign up for some subie boards and throw the offer out there. you know someone is bound to have the itch to drift and you'll be there waiting.

coming from an owner that went from nissan to suby
the impreza is a great car ive driven all subaru has to offer from the STI to the legacy GT and the 2.5i/ wrx
i bought an impreza 07 2.5i as a DD and i'm very happy with it stictly as a daily driver after a year and change of owning it i've had no problems with it but one thing i can say is that i'm bored of it cause i'm not modding it (still looking to get another s13/14)
the things you'll probably like is the interchable parts between the sti and the wrx like enterior exterior and the turbos TMIC blah blah blah the market place is as good as zilvia's and filled with the same type of lowballers as well
as far as the suby community some are cool the rest are pretty weird/ bitches to do business with
i probably didn't get the full experience from owning a boosted suby but i wouldn't buy another subaru unless i'm getting an STI/ legacy GT

I never actually liked wagons, as soon as i get enough money im buying a wrx as a DD 4 doors turbo able to beat on/cheap what gets better than that.

woah i like that last one, simular to the one in the opening of this thread.. except the widebody.
edit: looks like the pic is from japan so it could be the same one pre fenders??
I love my FC, its just im getting to mid 20s, and still at home shit sucks right now *no job and whatnot* and i feel i cant drive the fc everywhere i wanna go. Will see what happens im not really in the position to look at different cars, but it just motivates me. These wrx look like they got tons of potential once financial situation kicks up for me
I like the 04-05 the most but the earlier models are growing on me.

after all my research... the only cool thing about these cars are their great time attack and rally history
tuning wise... H-4 is really odd... or people don't know how to tune because with an SR in similar spec you get more power and a better power band......
or maybe I am just seeing most of the shitty subbies.
I found too many weak points and too much money... its what turned me away. even evo's have the same kind of feeling when modding.

only if you're making serious power on the MR's. Those 6 speeds are made of glass.
Otherwise you can boost 32psi+ on a stock bottom end, and make like 375+awtq on the 5spds.

let me enlighten you
fist off no need to shave anything when you can trade hoods with a 2.5rs or buy one form the classifieds if you have a FMIC
flush wheels can be done but you'll need to cough up the dough

you can always piece parts from STI's over the classifieds and come up on the whole conversion
or hub adapters ect ect.. 5x100 isn't that big of a deal you just gotta fork up the cash

Yeah, I know of a few evo guys making similar hp but their tq numbers are usually in the low 400's. hp is w/e, tq is usually a better indicator of when shit will break on evos.
I'm pushing 390 IIRC wtq on my evo 8 gsr and It's held up fine. Going on 80k miles now and only had to replace the clutch about 5 times:spank: the clutches just don't hold up!
Other notes. Bug eye scoobys are nice but I like the 04-05 scoobys better

1994-2001 GC8= 2.0 wrx STI turbo (this model never made it to the USA)

GW= 2.5 FWD suby (correct me if i'm wrong)
so next time you see a GC with no swap don't call it a GC8 :keke:

Where was that race at??
That was at vir during gt live and ive ran at cmp in kershaw. Id like to road race more but everytime theres an event theres a drift event. I put some new vinyl on it thats the same as my 240 but i think i like it better without vinyl.

The subaru needs to be lower and a better/wider wheel set up (gold rpf1's maybe)

whats needed to fit 04-05 tails on 02-03?? can you just trim the rear bumper to fit around the hump at the bottom?
so the 02-03 is a 2.0l and the later models increased to 2.5? whats the hp rating for the years?

08-14-2008, 02:43 AM
nvm found a thread on the tail lights they fit ok

Cause if you fuck up while trimming it's highly noticeable

everything fits right one with the tails although there might be a small gap where the tail light rounds out at the bottom since bugeyes don't have it
but everything is interchangeble even front ends skirts ect ect
The changes to the '06 (first year with 2.5) over the '05:
2.5 ltr engine with active valve timing
17" wheels standard
Drive-by-wire throttle
bigger brakes, 4-pot up front, 2-pot rear
Leather and moonroof available
most difference was more low end torque from the 2.5 and taller gearing from 4-5th in the 2.5L's
all wrx's are all 225-224 HP off the lot

08-14-2008, 11:14 AM
according to suby's website and specs yes
but i think its like a 25% power loss cause of the AWD so give or take from there

Stock hp on an Wrx is about 198 to the wheels
Sti makes 260hp 274tq

I like Bugeyes.
I've wanted one for a while. A great DD with some Springs/shocks, maybe some bushings and a full exhaust.
And if you ever want something fresh, convert it, or get a new EJ25 STi motor.
The ultimate Subaru IMO:
