Looking good fella,where did you get the inlet going under the manifold from?
Is it a pipe with no outlets?

 

Yes its a straight pipe with no inlets on it. Got it from Lateral.

 

Nice car! what turbo you running bud? and what wheels are they, they look bigger than sti ones?

 

I'm running a MD321T and the wheels are 18x8.5 Gravels bought on purpose because they are copies of the Spec C wheels.

 

Nice lookin Hawkeye .........................

 

looks good mate, nothing messy about that engine bay

 

Looking very tidy

 

Nice loving the engine bay

 

Very nice

 

That is absolutely stunning! Looks like it's got a fair bit of "GO" to match those looks as well. Nice!

What is that pink part sticking out from the from bumper anyway?

 

nice car.

what injectors are fitted mate?

 

nice hawk

 

It's a TRS tow strap fitted because I can no longer fit my tow eye.
They are 850CC from lateral. Can't remember the maker. They are running about 65% duty.

 

Looks very nice mate- have u had the pipework painted red? I've just bought the Japspeed FMIC, 750CC injectors, Sard FPR and am getting a mD321T for mine, hopefully it will make same power. Need to sort out my induction kit situation though.
Matt

 

Stunning mate.

 

I painted the pipes in Frosts crinkle red paint. Looks good for not a lot of cash.

Forgot to add I am running GT spec headers and 3 bolt up pipe.

Before I added them I was only running 400bhp/410lb ft. After my final mapping session with Andy F I got up to 452bhp/498lb ft. Worth while mods at this power level!!!

 

How is the ride now then? No more random bounces? My Hawk's a bit weird sometimes on flat roads!
Any speed bump issues?
Looks good!

 

Looks gorgeous mate saw it on Ayrshire Scoobs, Shennans done a great job.

Where did you buy the wheels mate? Best wheels ive saw on a hawk in a while.

Whats the power delivery like mate, is it laggy, is it smooth/linear, does it feel much different from the 400bhp to the 450bhp? Whats the 500lb ft really like? Being thinking this route for a P1, want simular power/torque as you have with a 2.5 but with Spec C heads.

 

Rides so much better on the BC's. No bounciness at all now on flat roads and rides the bumps rather than jumping over them. Really worth while mod!

Got the Wheels from Wheelguy in the USA from the NASIOC forum because they were not available over here at the time (Feb 2010 it was) but Rota UK sell them now. They are nice and light and strong.

Yeh it does feel different from when it was at 400bhp. The 500lbft is great for real world driving. As you can see from the graph its a nice smooth spool up and its doesn't feel laggy as the torque helps when caught in a lower gear. Bearing in mind its just a standard 321T non billet I am seeing full spool at 3000/3100rpm at a guess going by my boost gauge. I am running 1.6bar.

I could have chased more figures but because the block is not pinned Andy F suggested I don't push the block any further.

 

HI Ian,
Lovely looking hawk you have there(its dave who you bought the blobeye from).
All the best
dave

 

Dave! Hello!!!

I have to say you were the reason I now have this Hawkeye! The Blobeye was great and I ran it for just under a year putting only about 5000 miles on it as I was offshore a lot. It gave me the Scooby Bug!!!




I drove passed my local Scooby dealership as I spotted a Hawkeye and right there and then a deal was made and I p/x'd it. It was kept as immaculate as the day you handed me the keys.

After a year in the making I have now finally finished the Hawkeye and I am enjoying it. Got a Ring trip planned in August with a few track days before then.

Are you back in a Scooby again (going by your avatar)?

 

great stuff once you get the bug its hard to shake off,yes the silver blob was in bloody good nick and glad you loved it, well since i had a type r which a member on here called mervil now has and then a blob sti "widetrack"which went to alan jeffrey on behalf of a customer for a 2.1 build and loads more(did post on the alan jeffrey post in case you was wondering it was the engine from your one lol)which is going to a guy called alan in scotland,been looking at the moment not sure yet either another blob sti or jdm sti or hawk sti
keep changing my mind lol,sounds like you gonna have some fun with your one then gotta get to the ring one day as well.
cheers m8
