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 :cool: Daren has added arch extensions on to the existing wide body kit, personally I think the job is top draw!! hope you agree :thumb:

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 :luxhello:

Stunning machine :cool:

Awesome, what width tyre are you running?

The tyres are 285/30/18s... however a quick look at the Dunlop site tells you that these are actually 292mm wide!! :thumb: I was looking to go with the 295s but they were not available when I asked, but 292mm wide will do me :D

Lee I can't believe you have a ABW wide arch body kit with arch extensions on it,,awsome mate,awsome
You stick to that there time Atack
Let me do the mlr malarkey
Looking good bud.

After watching you kicking everyones butt at the sprints I am staying away!! I am doing Castle Combe mate, possibly my last sprint, after that its Time Attack as you have said. I am hoping to make it to the European Time Attack event in October in Zandvoort, get my arse truly kicked, but should be a good experience!! :thumb:

Will need all that rubber with all that power ey! Funny things aren't they tyre sizes my old 205's measure at 200 where as my new 255 measure up at 270!! :luvlove:

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:cry:.
Brilliant car.

cheers for that mate :notworthy if you attend again come over and say hello :thumb:

That's a very nice machine you have there fella, well sorted.

That's come back together nicely, now just enjoy it and good luck for the rest of the season:thumb:

Hope you have it strapped down well some where Lee as it's bloody windy out there today...It might blow away if youre not careful it's that feckin light :lol1:

That's a beast, not a car Lee. :eek:

Looks proper serious! :notworthy

Never mind the arches, or the gorgeous enkeis!
Just look at that Koggnition rear wing!

Absolutely love this car, great job by SDM and ABW.
Best of luck for the season Lee :thumb:

Looks awesome!

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.

get yourself over and have a good look dude, as much as it gets hammered, its still my pride and joy :luvlove: :thumb:

Cheers everyone, I feel like we are getting somewhere near what I am after. A nice splitter, canards, full flat floor, nice rear diffuser and lowered down will see us getting to where I am after :D

Stunning Hawk / love it :)

them wheels :norty:

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 >>>

Looks pretty impressive that.....is it likely to provide a massive improvement then?
Wonder what these monster turbos are like as a daily driver?:wonder:

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 Adam :D I believe this turbo can produce around 750hp? I am hoping mine can get a lift from the 650hp it was and be more like 720hp with this turbo on, my engine is "only" running 2.2bar boost.

awesome car

Awesome piece of kit Toffee !:thumb:

Cheers dude :thumb:


Were at Donnington this Sunday at a trackday :luxhello:

Stunning Lee

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 :D 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 :D
