Love the car Chris, up there with Frayz's as 2 of my all time favourite Subarus.

 

Your list is always long! Sure you have had more cars than I have had hot meals.

 

Thanks mate that’s very high praise indeed, big difference between my car and people like Frayz etc is they have done all the hard work themselves.

(plus I copy his good ideas )

 

Hahaha, immitation is the highest form of flattery Chris.
You've done a great job mate, you should be proud.

 

Very tidy and fastidiously done. Well done dude.

 

Top thread, top car, nuff said

 

thanks guys much appreciated, still got loads of finishing off buts its getting their!

 

Wow you've both come a long way since I last see you and your motor Chris , you hadn't had it long last time I was in a Scooby lol it's a credit to ya fella !

Dave (aka sparky d ) ;-)

 

This is one stunning Hawkeye

 

Wow that was a long time ago! How are you? Back in a Subaru?

we will have to have a Reunion one day if your off to any events

 

Yes mate back in a Scooby for now , blob sti , had some fun adventures with the cars in between but had an offer I couldn't refuse so went back to scoob for now to release some cash for a business , gotta say it is nice to be back forgot how much fun you can have at a relatively cheap price

Will Defo have to catch up with you at some point and have a nose around the motor now it's come so far

 

HI all thought I would get another update posted up!

It been a busy few weekends with lots of very time consuming jobs, strut braces have been removed and powder coated, Kenwood camera fitted with custom handmade carbon bracket (no picture of the bracket as it looks S*** but it does do the job!) and lots of prep work for the Firewall fitting like removing cables off the parcel shelf, painting all the metal that’s going to be visible etc etc.












I have also removed my mirrors to get some glass cut to replace the Plastic, I am sure Prodrive would cry at the thought of adding weight to their mirrors but for safety on the road it had to be done!



Just waiting on some nice bolts and its time for fitting

 

Looking tidy, I've left the rear strut brace tops as they're hidden and was just too much hassle, but those carbon tubs do look good

 

They used to be Pink at the back! Horrid, that’s the 1st part of the Firewall it basically makes one piece when its all bolted together . well that’s the plan!

 

Mine are still pink, some STI thing I presume. The fronts are red with the being powder coated matt black any time now

 

Lush

 

Hey mate, thought I'd drop in on your build thread as it always fascinates me. How did you get on fitting the 3 piece parcel shelf after? I got mine from Rallytech too- takes a bit of dremel work to cut it precise though eh!

 

Hi Huzzy,

Slow progress to be honest, prep is done and I have done all the test fitting and cutting however Mr Clark sent me a very interesting mail and has got his hands on a set of Ohlin’s (part of the R&D for the Hawkeye model but the project was cancelled)

I decided it was better to get that work out of the way before fitting so it should be in early June just in time for Le Mans.

Have you got any photos of yours fitted? Interested to see how you did it see if its the same way I was planning on.

 

Little update before it goes to RCM for a few new toys.

Federal 595 semi slicks and my Prodrive wheels painted white.

 

Very Nice! Love the attention to detail

 

Stunning. How do you like the tyres Chris?

 

BTW where did you get the Prodrive diff cover?

 

Hello mate, I got the parcel shelf but I'm not using it in conjunction with a fire wall- still using the standard back seats. It was extremely tricky to fit as obviously I needed to cut the bit out for the rear wiper and also where the rear sears are still installed I needed to cut where the seats 'hook' onto the latches. Also the 2 end pieces that fit down into the strut ends needed to be cut away quite abit. All in all I'd say I probably cut £50 worth of carbon fibre and threw it away. I did think about keeping it but couldn't really think of many purposes! I didn't take photos at the time but I took a few of the end product. A great addition to the car but fitting was made even harder due to it being 2 door with a harness bar! Took me about 3 hours to measure, cut and install but looks the business.

 

OK it all makes sense, fiddly job from the sounds of it but I bet it finish it off well!

 

few updates,

RCM did a great job to get the car ready for Le Mans, rear brakes and Ohlins have really transformed the car, ride is hard but I am really pleased at how quickly the car settles down over the bumps. Very fast A-B all round car now! 800 miles of hard driving in France really put a smile on my face!











Firewall and door-cards are all fitted but it needs a good clean up and a few bits finishing off before I can take some photos,

Thanks for looking!

 

The stuck flys on the front says it all,you must of enjoyed yourself,my favourite hawkeyeSJ.

 

Looks the business Chris.
Well jel of the latest additions

Ohlins and APs... "If a jobs worth doing..."

 

Beautiful car Chris. Up there with the best of them

 

Thanks guys, starting to run out of job on my list, Still debating if I should add some s12b WRC vents or even the centre vent of the 1st hawk WRC car......

Interested in peoples thoughts S12b vents could be naked carbon or colour coded

 

Awesome Machine.

Looks like the ultimate package. How do you like the new tyres? Would love to see a vid of this thing in action.

Mine is covered in fly's too.
