Afternoon all,

Just returned to the forum after a few years away in Evo land... Sold my Evo VIII to a freind and bought a nice low miles forged 07 hawkeye Sti... She's just over 20k miles, on coilovers and clean as I've seen... This is scooby number 5.
Had 2 classics, a bug WRX, Blob Sti and now this Well happy!

Scott

Thanks guys,
Reason for returning was I wanted the practicality of a scoob again... The evo, while blisteringly fast and second to none handling was very hard work. It was running 400bhp at 1.7bar, fully caged, twin plate clutch and high maintenance.... Also I had a very good offer from a freind of mine and I've always fancied a hawkeye.... Ideally a Type RA-R but out of my price range lol... She's in at Cotton Competition tomorrow for a few little bits and then i'll post up some pics

This is the Evo

As a plaything that EVO knocks a 2.5 Impreza into the weeds. Don't forget, you can't get that kind of power from the 2.5 and expect it to stay in one piece!
