Project +Lightness
Project +Lightness is our goal of reducing weight in a balanced manner and maximizing ~300 whp to produce a reliable mountain pass machine.

About the Bugeye
This my 2003 WRX in World Rally Blue with practically 200k miles on it. I bought it from the original owner who did the EJ207 version 8 swap after the EJ205 spun a bearing at around 100k miles. I bought it as a replacement for my 2005 STi in 2016.
