What do you think
 
Right my wrx bugeye in 10 years old this year and I have had it for about seven and have done a lot of things to it over the years, and how Im looking for better coilovers as the bc are a bit hard for a http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/foru...ies/oldman.gif and I have a sti gearbox to put in but need DCCD controller for it and the body work needs a bit of a sort. So do I keep going or break it and get some think newer because as a car its properly not worth that much, this is a list so far.

Keep going... One of my favourite bugeyes

Steve_PPP 10-01-2011 10:50 AM

i'd personally keep going unless you need to spend a fortune sorting the bodywork out :)

If you break it bumper please , other wise only you can decide what to do

worzel 10-01-2011 11:17 AM

After going that far with it, I personally would keep going.

I don't need to tell you that you'll never get what it's really worth if you sell it. :sadno:

He was park with us at the RB memorial Steve

Keep it:agreed:

You will get to the same stage with the next car if you get rid or break it:-(

Such a shame that lately a lot of great cars are being broken up due to resale price not being good...

SpecB 10-01-2011 03:38 PM

keep it! Once you've done the box you'll have a solid car that will be up to sti standards. Only thing to consider is the strength of the bottom end mine let go at 370bhp

kartingsteve 10-01-2011 04:13 PM

The thing will scoobies there is always one more thing to do and thats why we love them , and if I track it and trash it then I can strip it :lol: plus its all most morphed it to a Sti just a 2.1 next :roll:.

Anger 10-01-2011 06:28 PM

belliott 10-01-2011 07:06 PM

Mortster 10-01-2011 07:42 PM

yes I know can from a good source like my turbo :doubleup:

So it looks like I will have to keet it , onwards and upwards :nod:

RobEvo5 11-01-2011 04:36 PM

I'll be the odd one out :D - Sell it /break it and upgrade to a hawkeye STI, then remap it and end up with more BHP and lots more torque, newer more comfortable, and much cleaner, and generally nicer car. just my 2 pennies worth. ;)

darth maul 11-01-2011 05:14 PM
