Spot on with your comparison on acceleration compared to a V8. I went from a 2004 WRX with exhaust and tune, to a GTO LS V8. And the GTO generally felt slower in city driving. It didn't have the turbo push back in the seat. It only shows it's legs on the top end on the highway that the LS will just keep pulling, where the WRX dies off around 80mph.
Still have my 02 bugeye, is slow as can be. It’s a thinking man’s car to find the balance of boost for what you are using it for. Have close to 286k on mine. Good luck with the channel!
Great to see someone with mechanical sympathy as myself. Though our 5 speed may be brittle... as long as you drive sanely... it will last. Of course if all you wanted is speed and what not... swap a six speed in.
Dude, you need an alignment. I can see the camber. Maybe camber bolts in the rear depending on how low your drop. And not at pepboys. At an alignment shop. And don't be afraid to down shift. 🤘🏻 I love my Bugeye and it's my dd for the last 6 years. We look and sound quite a bit alike. I'm 122xxx and second owner. ...and I'm coming up short on boost too. 🤣✌🏻

Sounds soo good
Gotta love that Subie Rumble!
Yes :p
Only the STi got the 6 speed in this generation.
Correct, the STI was not brought to the US until 2004
Where did you import this from?
Edit: and LOL @ the random BNDR - Wimbledon clip (monkey with the walkman)
