So I blew my third engine several weeks ago. LIC is in the process of pulling the engine out and tearing it down, and I'm sitting here looking at investing another 5+ grand into my bugeye. She's been quite a moneypit ever since I bought her in 2003 (mostly due to my own endeavors). She's a great, extremely fun car, and I'm going to repair her no matter what happens but do I keep her or.....

I've been pre-approved for a 2.9% loan thru Subaru and I'm currently eyeing one of two potential purchases:

A) Obsidian Black Pearl STi Special Edition (Spec C suspension & wheels... lose the extra speakers, 6 disc changer, auto climate control, foglights, and HID headlights)

or for $5000 more

B) Dark Gray Metallic STi w/ Silver BBS package

I am partial to the Dark Gray over Black but I can't find the special edition in that color on the west coast. Of the stuff I will lose on the Special Edition, I don't really care about the automatic climate control, it still has AC, you just have to twiddle the ***** yourself. Fogs I can install for $400. And speakers/headunit I would probably want to replace anyways. But I do lose the factory HIDs.

I think I just talked myself into the Special Edition...

But what would you do?

 

Get a STi and leave all the headaches behind.

We bugeyes are a dieing breed.

 

get the SE, trade me for the BBS wheels and suspension.

With the money you save, you can buy goodies like an accessport and exhaust.

 

SE for sure! At least that'd be my pick. I don't see a whole lot of reasons to keep dumping money into the bugeye, especially the "needing bodywork" part.

**** off bug eyes rule!!!


and yeah jsut park the bug eye make it a track race car and get an STi for a daily car

 

SE

bugeyes are great, but you got to know when to let go.

 

Have you considered a 350z? I heard they're super rare and have a wicked sounding stock exhaust.

jk jk!

I think picking up the Special Edition black STi and installing your own add-on's makes the most sense.

 

just get a GT-R...


:evil smiley:

 

I say go with the SE.

 

i assume you're talking about this special edition

if so, that's my vote

 

I used to think that way too. But I think, having a car already equiped from factory would be nicer these days.

 

7 years and I'm still loyal so you **** off

 

yeah, but in black...
