TROLL's 2007 Bugeye STi: Made it into the Top Scoob Classic Round 2... dayum! - Page 15 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

**TROLL** · 07-24-2007, 12:58 PM

yup the engine bay has been degreased... its still that flat darker blue color so its nothing amazing but its at least worth of receiving a fresh new motor.

Ill update since bryan wasnt in the garage today:

The car is even more stripped. The rear suspension,gas tank, differential, rear subframe, swaybar, and charcol canister were all left in before today because we didnt think that the gas tank/evap/rear diff electrical harness needed to be swapped. Well it did.

Today/Tonight I removed the rear subframe and differential because it sat below the gas tank. I then removed the gas tank (pain in the arse) along with all of its wiring and replaced it with the new STi hotness wiring. Also installed a brand new Walbro 255lph fuel pump with OEM (better quality) fuel pickup filter.

The tank is back in and assembled, the rear differential subframe needs to go back in. Now begins the process of putting all of the STi counterparts back in...oh the fun times!

thats it for now...shower time.

jump on that horsey and get it done....i'm tired of waiting pete, i want to see it

teh DIRT · 07-25-2007, 01:17 AM

These things take time. Pretty sure this is the first 03 to 07 swap being done in the world that I know of...dont quote me. I know these cars from top to bottom but when you are merging two together unseen issues arise. But have no fear, TST's best mechanics are working on it.

yeeeeaaah, that would be great. And I'm going to go ahead and take back my stapler!

Project looks insane guys. Can't wait to see more.

JET02WRX · 07-25-2007, 07:31 AM

Coming along awesomely.... if this thing works, you guys should go into business for yourselves and open a shop! Not everyone has the skill and cahones to undertake this. Any chance that Subiesport or another rag will do a piece on this, since I agree, not sure this swap has been done yet. I searched around last night and couldn't find anyone else swaping a bugeye for 07 guts.

UnderPoweredRS · 07-25-2007, 08:32 AM

Hey what did you guys to for keeping things organized like all the clips and screws for the interior? I took my seats and half the dash out and had a few "bonus" screws when I was done. lol

RyanG · 07-25-2007, 12:32 PM

Bryan, got your message last night. Ill call you tonight.

Oh, and are you doing all the yaw sensors as well???

**TROLL** · 07-25-2007, 01:30 PM

we try to put the nuts and bolts back into their original place so when its time to reassemble its already there, or when thats not possible everything goes into a labelled bag... hopefully by keeping things very organized we will get it back together 100%.

yes we will be installing all of the sensors necessary for the dccd to work fully. i admit i'm not sure what they all are since they have been changing them some from year to year but i trust that they were all included with the wiring we got and we'll figure out the puzzle of wires and sensors as we go. when things come into question we'll look it up.

JasterM5 · 07-25-2007, 02:20 PM

I stopped over last night to bust some balls and see how things were goin. That thing was stripped! So I did the only thing possible, I stole his steering rack, muahhahahaha.

Thanks Troll, I'll have it back to you soon, although I didn't know you were puttin in a new rack too oh well. This helps my project tremendously if I can figure out this rack.

Raven18940 · 07-25-2007, 02:33 PM

STi rack FTW then?
