Anytime.
Also:
-don't launch a bugeye if it has the stock 5 speed tranny. If you do it'll break. Period. You can slip the clutch and get a similar result, but that's obviously wearing on the clutch too. If you launch a 5 speed you'll destroy it though.
-blow off valves are bad, mmmkay? Recirc BPV FTW.
-If/when you pick up a bugeye and you start looking at parts to modify it some, check out the used parts classifieds here on NASIOC, as well as clubwrx.net and IWSTI. You can find a LOT of really good(and rare sometimes) deals if you look enough. Check like ten times a day everyday and you'll land awesome parts for cheap. I bought my set of Volks for $1500. All my JDM goodies were wayyyy cheaper than retail(for instance, my JDM STi intake manifold was only $150 shipped, brand new!). Got a Cobb Tuning turbo back exhaust for $600 and it's an $1100 exhaust if you pay retail.
-if you modify ANYTHING under the hood, get a tune. I don't care if it's just an intake. You need a tune. The end. Doesn't apply to cosmetic stuff, just performance/efficiency upgrades. You don't wanna lean out or run rich with these engines.
-get ready for a lot of rubbernecking...lol
