My 2006 Hawkeye WRX
Hi everyone
Been meaning to get some pictures on here of my car for some time but the car has been in and out of the workshop getting new wheels and engine work etc so just not had the time.
Anyways....here we go !
Car is running on 18x8 OZ Ultraleggras (thanks Revolution!), STI rear wing, STI TMIC, VF34 turbo, STI injectors, Tein springs (replacing with some BC coilovers very soon!), goodridge hoses, STI Brembo (next week), Miltek 3" turbo-back system with downpipe and Turbosmart dual-port dumpvalve all ecutek-mapped by Andy Nichols at AET.
350bhp and 390ft-lb - makes a very sound day to day car

I find it totally fine. Power is nice and progressive and can be driven nice and steady. I tend to keep the revs between 2000 and 3000 to maximise consumption so just a little boost - but when the road opens up it's nice to have the power there ready. Motorway driving is nicer too - drop straight into 5th at 50 and just let the torque do all the work for you.
Need to get suspension sorted on mine - only thing making it uncomfortable at present
Thanks to all for your comments - just have a front STI V-LTD splitter to install and big brakes then I am done

Stage 2 (turbo, TMIC, injectors, remap) I am getting 230 - 260 to a tank now. However, this is mainly town driving with a little bit of dual carriageway. Motorway runs I would *hope* are different!!

Thanks to everyone for comments
Have just installed a DDX8027 Kenwood 2 DIN DVD system with sat nav, traffic sensor and iPod mount. My Prosport gauges have arrived today which are being fitted this weekend, hopefully with my new front splitter too

Just remember to watch out for those barriers on the Ring

Looks lovely but then i'm bias, I have a fair few of the same mods, ie. wheels, prosport gauges, splitter and a Blue Hawkeye STI, only difference is i've light tints and gunmetal wheels.
Car does look stunning though. I'm running 361.8bhp / 402 ft-lb torque and have to say my fuel consumption is certainly below par against your figure I might have to have a tweek with mine or ease off the pedal.
