Another day, another worn front end on a Spridget. This post is a not so gentle reminder to go out and grease those zirk fittings on your Spridget front end, to help keep your kingpins from wearing out.
Loosey goosey – rickety rack
Everything changes. We learn this lesson weekly. That which once worked, works no longer. Parts are getting older. Cars get used. Things wear out.
Steering racks never used to be a problem with Bugeyes, we haven’t replaced many over the years, but more and more of them seem to have worn inner tie rods. In the video above, you can see me exaggerating the play we sometimes see. This rack is worn out. Check your car to see if you can discern that your inner tie rod ends are worn out too!

This is still a vacation week for some of our team but we wanted to make sure we still put some Bugeye in your mailbox this weekend.
Below is a video of some of our favorite cars that we shipped to new homes in 2021. 41 people adopted Bugeyes in 2021, bringing our total to 339 sold! This makes 41 Bugeyes that went through our transformation process and hopefully 2022 will be the year you take one home too!
Thanks so much for participating in our growth and evolution and we look forward to a spectacular 2022!
PS Our parts catalog never sleeps so feel free to check us out online or call for service 203-208-0980.

Thanks to all of you who made 2021 a spectacular year for Bugeyeguy, and for Bugeyes! This year we added two great new people –Rob and Nick— and we are excited, each person in the photo above is carrying a major piece of our work to the next level. We are lucky to have eight great people keeping Sprites alive and well. We’ll introduce everyone in a new post soon!

There is a sweet spot for modified Sprites, that makes for improved performance in every category without breaking other components. Sure, you can put in 200 HP, but then you’ll need to address the strength of the rear end, and other components.
