You should, if you have time, make a video exactly like this one for everything you do to maintain your Bugeye. The pacing, style, illustration, and content is perfect. I've had mine since new, and it's been 6 years since I've replaced the plugs, and the Bugeye WRX has gone from the Internet's hottest forum topic to almost an old beater niche info market where you can't readily find out the things you barely remember talking about 10 years ago. Corner that market. This vid is incredibly helpful and easy to watch. Bravo.

Mine is currently sitting at a service station with a brittle, busted vacuum nipple on the intake hose and "rubber" PCV and vacuum lines that snap like candy-canes. After 12 years I can say that these cars are no spring chickens anymore, and finding things to fix on these wonderful cars is not gonna be hard in the future. I'm still on the original aging turbo, starter, and alternator. Good lookin' out, bro.

A few things to move out of the way... You just need a childs hand to get between the frame ;-) Took me a few hours the first time I did this on the bugeye, then my friends bugeye it took us less then an hour. You just need to have the right combination of extensions, then remove ratchet as you back out so you don't get stuck on the frame ;-) I am sure the dealers or any mechanic with a hoist will just use a lift, remove motor mounts and tilt the motor with a milk crate to have full access without hitting the frame. Just did plugs on wife's new forester Lol, 45 degree angle SOHC, was a breeze compared to the bugeye, but its doable. Just take your time, great video!
