Wagoneer

hi everyone

so i sold the yellow wagon a couple months ago and am having subaru withdrawals so in typical fashion im looking at another one in the somewhat distant future. iv fallen in love for the bugeye and wanted to know some things about the STI bugeyes.

 

Q1. im led to believe the V7 ej207 would happily take 300 - 330 awkw happily on those forged stock internals and be reliable, by reliable if i got a couple years id be stoked lol, is this the case? if so i see this car as a relatively cheap car to make AWD power as you can pick these bad boys up for around 12k.

 

Q2. what are some of the known problems with the bugeye STI's? if these cars have such solid running gear from the factory why dont more people build on them? is it really seen as that ugly of a car to overlook its donk? id love to read some builds on the these cars, especially unopened engine builds?

 

Q3. is the AUDM EJ207 the same internally as the JDM engine? i know japan has better fuel quality so they had some more aggressive tunes from the factory over there and ours were detuned abit for our inferior fuel but was that the only difference?

 

anyways i hope that spurs a conversation up as id love to have a chat and talk about build options and other peoples experiences with these cars.

cheers fam

So theres a set of 05 bilstein sti coilovers on gumtree im interested in but im wondering if they can be modified to fit my 02 wagon?
Cheers

hey 

so the OE suspension is shot and im in the market to upgrade, the yanks seem to swear by these tokico D-specs for rally cross and any sort of offroad driving so am really keen on em. anyone know where i can get em? found 1 site thats based in straya but hoping i can find more. 

would you recommend any other suspension setup? 

how would MCA blue coilovers go offroad? 

cars a 02 rex wagon.

cheers legends
