    I drive an 02 bugeye. Im on Nasioc and Clubwrx as well. I was referred here from someone on IA. I bought the car from my best friend, he purchased it about a year ago and never did anything to it. Sadly, he didnt ask the owner before him much about the car, so i dont know the maintenance records, how many miles on clutch, etc. It has aftermarket mirrors and headlights, i dont like either. They will be replaced soon. Other than that, it was pretty much stock. In the time I have owned it, I have put samco IC hoses on, stock bpv, Blox Shift knob, and upgraded the head unit to a Kenwood Excelon Unit. Then i wired up some subs in the trunk. The box was carpeted to match the trunk and also fitted into the trunk decently well. I have an Invidia Up Pipe, Perrin Drop in Filter, PLX wideband, and a Stewart Warner Oil pressure gauge sitting in my room waiting to be installed. I am lookin to get a downpipe so i can install everything at once, and go to stage 2. Ill be using Romradier and ECUflash. Ill probably stay at stage 2 since this is my daily driver. Anyway.... on to the pics of the car from when i bought it.

    Yeah, those mirrors are kind of goofy looking. The lights aren't as bad as the mirrors though.

    Welcome to the forums

    i knew what morettes were, and yeah they arent those for sure. Well today i painted my up pipe with ceramic high temp paint, bought some spark plugs, and got some MAF cleaner. Hopefully tomorrow ill get my oil changed, new spark plugs in, new perrin filter in, and order my downpipe.

    they are closed up decent. If it rains really hard, a tad bit gets in. I want to get a carbon trunk or buy a wingless one without holes obviously.
