Rey's Hawkeye WRX
 
Hi to those of you who I havent met yet, Ive had my Impreza for almost 2 months now, having finally had enough of german cars. Here's a few of them:

remap
superchip
18" P1 Prodrive OZ alloys

looks spot on.... if anything add a front splitter. Got two questions to ask , how do you find the BC coilovers ride road noise etc , I have the dreaded knocking rears shocks and I am not sure what way to go and have you spaced out the rear wheels, if so what did you use ?

rickya 31 May 2011 10:02 AM

Very nice :)

CREWJ 31 May 2011 10:11 AM

Looking good, I totally agree on the splitter.

Guv 31 May 2011 10:27 AM

Looking good there dude, agree a splitter would look great....at least now you've got a proper car:p

b16msu265 31 May 2011 03:06 PM

Now the motor looks Phat.:luvlove:
No wonder u didn't want to change:razz:
Them rims look better than the rotas. Productive weekend :thumb:

M444GY 31 May 2011 04:12 PM

wiley 31 May 2011 04:29 PM

thanks for all the comments guys... :D

daviee- the BC coilovers are brilliant, of the 21 sets of coilovers ive owned, theyre definitely in the top three. theres a balance of comfort and sporty ride, and id say theyre just as comfortable as stock wrx suspension.
the wheels arent spaced out, theyre just in VAG fitment, so theyve got lower offsets, pretty much perfect for a lowered newage impreza.

if anybody comes across some hawkeye fog covers, please let me know; theyre on the 'to-do' list along with a front splitter, rear diffuser and sti rear arch trims/bumper.

JonMc 31 May 2011 08:27 PM

Very tidy, love those wheels:thumb:

-shane- 31 May 2011 08:47 PM

martin850 31 May 2011 09:42 PM

WhatswiththeR 01 June 2011 08:24 PM

Looks really nice mate, I can't believe how much you got those wheels for, I thought it was a STi when I first saw it.

And where did you get them from in 5X114 fitment?

Scooby220 02 June 2011 06:53 AM

Some nice motors there you've owned :thumb:

Seen your hawkeye a couple of times down NW London area and I'm sure I've seen that black golf in Brent cross shopping centre years ago.

Your impreza does looks very nice :thumb:

Does anybody know how much I can sell my hawkeye front end for? And also roughly how much I'd have to pay for a prodrive bugeye front end?

question is, why?:cuckoo::D

R6HNN 10 July 2011 05:06 PM

There's method in the madness peter, I call it the "scrape up some money for a TD05-20g" scheme

Besides, unlike most people, I actually really like the prodrive bug front end :)
