Trade in!
Hi everyone, time has come and I have traded in my 02 Bugeye sti for a Hawkeye sti 06!
Sad to see my Unique Bug go, but hopefully the Hawkeye will fill shoes! Its bone stock and nowhere near as quick as my bug... Taking delivery tomorrow... will post some pics when I get it!

Congrats on the new ride. I really like the <--] [--> styling...
Btw - what do you notice most with the new STi vs. your Bugeye?

So performance wize; the turbo lag is almost gone, its got alot more lowdown torque... as with midrange. The bug was quicker but it had a powerband... which could catch you out off guard! To conclude, I would have to say the everyday driver would be much quicker around a track with the hawkeye... the bug can be faster in the right hands...

By the way, the VERY FIRST thing you should look into doing, is purchasing some 04-05 motor mounts to replace with your 06 ones........they are PLASTIC believe it or not

Did you try selling the 02 before you traded it?
