    I picked this bugeye up from a wrxatl member a couple of months ago (Jeff for those of you who know him) and fell in love. I really haven't changed anything except the headunit and re-cleared the headlights today, but am looking for an EJ22t block in the local yards, since this 205 has just over 175k on it now. She's running a VF22 with supporting mods, as well as a host of other things. 2002, Aspen white, and a fantastic DD.

    I like the Aspen White on the bugeye. It looks really sharp.

    Dude good luck trying to find a 22t block. If I had known someone on here was looking for one I would have sold mine on here. I just sold mine to a guy in pennsylvania.

    He really did take very good care of her. Aside from oil changes, all she has needed was a couple of light bulbs and the IACV needed a good cleaning.

    I'm not dead set on a 2.2t block, it's more of if I find one, I'll build it for when this block gives up the ghost. Besides, you'd be amazed at the things you find in junkyards.
