  • my bugeye

    A month ago I bought this car from an R&D guy at TurboXS. Ive been doing a little bit of this and that, not nearly enough in my opinion but it will all come with time. anyways, here are some pictures.

    day I got her:


    First things first; give her a knob job


    Then I made the tails all red and the fogs yellow:


    And made the dash lights all white. Im still gonna swap out the clock for the blitz turbo timer/boost gauge, and get rid of the steering colomn boost gauge. Also swapping the stock radio for a pioneer appradio.


    At the same time as I did the gauges I painted the bezel and dash trim, couldn't stand the fake carbon shit.


    Then I did sway bars. Sorry no pics... swapped the stocks for a Cobb front and rear 25mm as well as kartboy endlinks. If you havent done this this is the first thing you should do. I have so much more fun in the car now.

    Very next thing is an oil change and trans/diff fluid change with magnetic drain plugs. Tomei fuel pressure regulator and walbro fuel pump. Im having leaning out issues after 4k and mor then half throttle. And since Im going to want these for later when I do a Cobb stage 2 tune and upgrade I might as well do it now.

    In the mean time ive been playing around with a couple other things... as of last weekend I made a ridiculous modular shift knob. Each wheel is screwed into the wheel below it so you can choose how many you want, 2... 4... 7. Im pretty happy with how absurd this is and how clean it came out. As an industrial designer I am turning this into a much larger project and will post more on it later. Let me know what you all think. if you really want a knob hit me up and maybe I can make some for you.



    Glad to be part of the stance work forum community. Hope I can make some interesting contributions to the community. Cheers

        I love minature stuff. that shft knob makes me happy. it looks like it might hit the dash though
        Hatchbacks, wagons... It's NOT all the same. You want in? Don't get a mazda 3, get a mazda 6 wagon. Don't get a wrx get a legacy wagon. and theres a reason the A3 isn't called the A3 avant... Scion does not make a wagon it makes a weird van, but no wagons

        Sincerely,

        P.S. Is your tail a wagon?

        Show cars are lame.

            Shit you guys are right. The tread on the bottom is the wrong way. Ill have to switch one of the wheels from the top to the bottom so that ill have two in either direction.

            Amazingly it does not hit the dash, and I can have one more on the bottom without hitting the center console. Ill try and throw together a video this week, showing how they go together.
