Hi everyone. Have had my bug WRX for a year after getting bored of my GX bug. Will get some photos up soon.

Awesome. Thank you

Pics just through also! Looks such an improvement.

I previously used waxoil with the spray lance for areas under a car where there isn't much spray. Not sure how it would hold up in the arches. is the pot stuff a bit more robust? Thanks for the quick reply :)

I've been under many cars in my time and have found the underneath of Vauxhalls to have held up quite well. Comparing their underseal to a few manufacturers I'd say their underseal is thicker, more absorbant to impacts, tough and definitely is one of the best for protection against corrosion. I'm just starting to get little bits of surface rust underneath my GX which I will fix but when I'm done want to underseal these areas and the rest. Can anyone recommend a good underseal off the shelf or net that they have had experience with. One that can cope with the gritty spray hitting the inner arch?

I was £300 from the cat-back at a custom stainless exhaust builder. Asked for a deep tone and not a boy racer loud sound. Sounds awesome and does have the burble. Not a turbo burble clearly but a distinctive boxer burble. You can get a pair of headers on ebay for 250 but it's thinner stainless and with stainless being a harder metal is more prone to cracking than steel. I have however had stainless headers on a previous car and had no issues. I'm not really sure how much point there is getting stainless headers though, as the gx is tuned to about as max as it'll go. Full stainless, filter and a remap will be lucky to give you about 5BHP. That verses the cost... sell your gx, get what your willing to spend on it and get a turbo. I'm happy with my gx, has sti alloys and a nice exhaust but I too need to be realistic on what to spend on it.

I have myself the 2.0 bugeye gx. I think I've done reasonably well for my money. 70k on the clock, full service history, has had 3 mot advisories in its life and never failed an mot. The car is very clean and has been well looked after. I'm the 4th owner but the 1st person outside the family it used to be part of. I fancy giving it some nicer wheels in the summer but that should be about it. :)

Thanks all. Will indeed keep you posted.

It does have a fsh. So will have a good look at the paperwork. Massive thanks :)

Morning and a big hello to you all. I'm going to look over a bug eye Impreza 2.0 gx awd tomorrow. Are there any key areas with the car that I should look over? Massive thanks. Allan
