JDM WRX STI 'Hawkeye'

[nobby]

nice one!!!

enjoy it for what it is and offers!

 

[Ben]

It "feels" a lot more than 276bhp I'll tell you that.

 

[Lappintyre]

Just need to figure out what to do with that time I spent browsing classifieds now

Get a 2nd job so that you can fuel it!

Very nice

I done the same a few weeks ago (collected from Lincoln), albeit only for a WRX PPP Estate, but I'm so impressed with the car I'll be going for an sti next time round

I have the same coolant smell, and found the bottom of the radiator is damp, so have a new one to go in too

 

[sc_evo]

Great buy. That looks great.

 

[Sonny]

That's class. The white is a nice change from the usual WRC blue.

Does the twinscroll drive much differently from single scroll. Is it a more linear power delivery now that with the wider powerband?

My only proper experience is with a 2.5 WRX. Drove a 2.5 STI but wasn't my car so didn't push too hard. It definitely pulls a lot harder.

Few more pics:

Sonny get the finger out and take a few good pics of this thing.... hardly seen it

Looks great! Excellent buy nowadays and a good one won’t drop a penny

 

[Lyons]

I can't either! Hasn't fully sunk in yet. Has been my attainable dream car for as long as I can remember.

Makes it that bit more magical getting something you’ve pined after for years, rather than just taken a notion for.

Any decisions on an exhaust yet?

I want one that looks standard. A big slash cut angled jap can style one would take away from it I think.

 

[veedubnoodle]

Get one custom made then @Sonny

I'm constantly eyeing one of these up for the DC5. Supposed to be a very well built and free-flowing exhaust. Probably worth looking at a few youtube videos for examples as to what difference it makes over standard.

Fujitsubo were the best sounding exhaust ever on a subaru. refined when tiddling along at any rpm and growley when you hit the loud pedal. having said that I would leave well alone as to me the car is a perfect balance for a daily driver

No reason why you can't have two 3" pipes for a daily I'm soon to have two 3.5" instead of 3"

 

[Burt2000]

Fujitsubo, H&S or a fully decatted prodrive system from the turbo back with an STI Genome backbox for newage are all prefect sounding on them, subtle when you want it to be but perfect Subaru note when on boost.

 

[Nicky Glanza]

beautiful in white! nice set of jap cut plates from Neil at rockvale needed

Has to be a Hayward & Scott then, not too loud when pootling about but can get a 3" rolled so looks fairly standard.

Car looks great, had decided I was going to get a Forester myself, phoned yesterday to leave a deposit and sold! Back to the drawing board!

Love it, Always loved the Hawkeyes, doubt I'll ever own one though. Can't own them all unfortunately.

It gets driven alright but just stays off the road from Oct-April

Whats driven? less than 1000 miles a year? Just curious as most parts of my S30 underneath were brand new and I have never driven it in the wet never mind the salt, but I still struggle to keep it looking as clean underneath as I'd like, brake dust tyre dust, general road dirt just seem to get on everything. I do drive it hard often but still due mostly to my job its often only 3000 miles or less a year. Hence me thinking you might actually drive it very little?

 

[Burt2000]

Yeah its been about 1500 miles a year on average since 2017 almost always dry weather if possible. That pic was shortly after it was cleaned, painted and a few layers of the bilt hamber clear stuff applied. I’ll do the same again this summer when we get a nice spell of weather. Probably a degreaser applied, steam clean and then reapply the clear wax, for all it will cost.

Superb

Some blobeye rear lights would look well....

 

[Sonny]

Trip down to Eastwoods.

For this

Gave it a wash beforehand then squeezed into the garage for a wipe with Hybrid and Hydraclean on the glass. It could still do with a thorough clean in a few places however, in time.

 

[BrookST]

Hayward & Scott for the exhaust, great all rounder, I got it for the same reasons and wasn’t disappointed, car looks great Sonny

Yeh it seems to be the best option to keep it standard looking.

Was on the Autobahn today and found out it is still limited to 112mph. Thought something was properly broken

 

[Wild Thing]

Car runs super well, great road presence
