Was she standard or modified. I have not heard of that many of the hawk WRXs failing it was mostly the STI. Mines at 30k so while I quite like it not enough to spend thousands on it. Its hard to justify the crap mpg and high tax group. Glad you are on the ball and getting sorted.

Think my builder is using wiseco pistons. Dobt really know what there worth plus would always be warey off eBay for items with such importance. With so many fakes knocking around. (Not sayin they are more than likely a real reputable seller) just there's a lot of bad sellers selling **** which clouds us.

Sounds expensive, thinking twice now before getting mine remapped! But like already has been stated not heard of many WRX Hawkeye failures so fingers crossed.

Certain items I'd steer away from. Now should sort a deal with craigybaby he knows he wants them

It didn't as such go. Noticed last week using loads of oil.
Been smoking for a few weeks. Mate looked over it. N said it's ok.
Day later I wasn't happy Saturday nite took to Andy Kindon (scooby specialist)
Done a lot of forged engines for NESF members. It's in good hands
