Bug N Out at standard level
Default Bug N Out

Sitting here having a look at some of the other builds going around and thought it was probably time I got my act together and put mine up.


My car is an 02 Bug Eye hatch. Originally purchased bog stock from Subaru Wangara, with the intention of it being a good daily run around for work.

It has progressed somewhat since then to its current form.

The first mods were as follows

Pedders sports suspension
Autronics SM4 pnp ecu
VF34
BOV
3 Inch Turbo back exhaust
Tint
Strut Braces
Upgraded top mount


This was making 270Hp at the wheels quite happily, but as happens, i just wanted to squeeze a little bit more out of it.
The standard motor spun a big end bearing and it was time to rebuild it.

I originally was looking at just a mild rebuild to get it back on the road, but after some consideration, decided that i have gone to far to get rid of it now anyway.
Decided to build a 2.2 stroker motor for it and build it so that it would make the power i wanted, whilst still being as safe as possible.

The build contains the following

Spec c blocks
Spec c Inlet manifold
Billet crank
Injector Dynamics 725cc injectors
Manley billet Rods
Manley forged pistons
Fully serviced stock heads
Kelford 272 deg cams
Titanium springs and retainers
ARP headstud kit
ACL bearings
new timing belt and all pulleys
Tomei arms m7960 standard fitment turbo
Hyperflow front mount cooler and topmount oil cooler kit.
Autronics knock board

HSD Coilovers
STI Ra 6 speed conversion with cusco 2 way lsd

It is now making 366hp at the wheels, and 472nm of torque, running 1.4bar of boost.
I am very happy with the outcome and quality of work that Racetorque have put into my build, and look forward to getting it leant on a bit harder down the track.

I am yet to put it down the quarter properly, but intend to do it soon.
Thanks for reading
Nathan
