ABW widebody 700+bhp Hawk Spec C
So after buying some big wheels late last year it has taken until now to get them on, the car went down to ABW for Daren to do his magic and modify the bodywork to get these rather large wheels on 
Daren has added arch extensions on to the existing wide body kit, personally I think the job is top draw!! hope you agree 
The wheels are 18x10.5" ET17, the rears have 5mm spacers on right now, I have some some AS Performance 10mm spacers ordered which will push the wheels out further still

Saw this car running at Snetterton Time Attack, have to say it was my favourite of the day, so fast coming out of the last chicane, and sounded bloody amazing.
Never able to get close to it for a proper viewing
.
Brilliant car.

Oh that would be great if I could have a little nosey about. Never really seen a full blown race spec'd Impreza up close.
Not sure when I have another club meet at the tracks, soon I believe, most probably be Brands or Snet again.

I feel a drum roll is needed!!!! and here is my lovely new turbo from Owen Developments, it is a "GT3586HTA-M" not sure what all that means but its supposed to be a cracker from the reports I have read. I believe this will provide a much needed lift in outright power from the previous spec GT35 .63
I received a call from Chevron Motorsport today to say the turbo had arrived, Simon has sent me a couple of pictures too, well happy >>>

About as far away from a daily drive as you can get !
Looks like the success is paying off Lee....gunna be an awsome package with all the knowledge and sponsors and not forgetting you behind the wheel

Cheers guys, yep had a good time at Japfest, had a look around the car stands and was watching the drifting guys... bloody nutters
Obviously I was mainly there for the track sessions, went out 4 times in total and each time did about 8>10 laps. was there to test a few things out, firstly the new wheels and tyres which are 11" wide never rubbed at all on the body work, Daren at ABW has done a spot on job, no rubbing at all so test 1 and well happy.
With the new Owen Developments turbo fitted I wanted to get a feel for this, because the car had not been mapped for this turbo yet (just a few tweaks) I was taking it easy (ish) so ran at cal1 which is my lowest setting (about 1.6bar) limited revs to 6500rpm and also only applied 65% ish throttle. You will be surprised at how quick you can still go driving like this although I never experienced the power of the GT3586HTA-M I was very surprised at how the car went when at low revs. I thought going from a .63 exhaust housing up to a .82 the car would have started to feel laggy? absolutely none of it at all, coming through the chicane on to the start straight I was going from 3rd to 4th mid chicane and driving it out on to the start finish straight, I could feel it wanting to go!!! so I just lifted on the throttle slightly.
Was also trying different settings with the brake bias, found a happy place with this, however I am still considering going back to ABS?? we will see.
I hadnt driven Donnington before so wanted to learn the circuit ahead of the Time Attack round being held there in September, what a great circuit, really took to it quit early on.
Next out on 19th July at Oulton Park on another test day, day after is Time Attack at Oulton then the weekend after is TOTB and I have been picked for the 22B.com team so looking forward to that.
Will update more after Paul Blamire of Zen Performance has finished mapping my car, should be fairly nippy with the new turbo

Well thats us ready for this weekend... starting tomorrow 
were at Oulton Park tomorrow at a track day and then its Time Attack rd4 on the Saturday. Really looking forward to this weekend, if everything goes well it should be a really enjoyable weekend.
Since we last competed the car has had bodywork completed at ABW, new wheels and tyres fitted, new turbo fitted (20% meth mix = 672.7bhp) and its been mapped too
