New member saying hi, Hawkeye
How do all.
been over to SIDC but it seems kinda dead?!? imprezas you really don't see around much anymore do you. I kinda like having something that's different
Been on and off here a few times, been a number of years since i have had an impreza.
just thought i'd introduce myself, couldn't see a new members section, please move if there is,
I have been on off playing with focus st's amongst other things, anyway got bored of them breaking.
My best mate was getting himself a m5, and selling his scoob which he got from subaru back on 42kmiles. since then i know everything he has done with it and what that it has been a great car for him. so when my focus decided to spit it coolant everywhere again i decided it was time to grab this good car off him
Its a 06 hawkeye, at 20k it had the prodrive kit fitted at subaru. other than that it is stock. I have a few plans for it. i do not want to touch the engine, he has kitted a KnN panel filter which will stay, my wife has also asked it to be a bit louder as only has a prodrive back box, which i like. So i looking around i will probably take off the last car and the middle silencer and see how that sounds, as i got to work at 5 in the morning at lot, also just coming from a very loud focus i don't want that again. (Rob on facebook has helped a lot with this)
other things i want to do, differnet set of 17s, something anthracite i expect just to give the car contrast, but not black. probably not 18s as i use back roads a lot. It already has a nice new set of rainsports on so they will just swap over. Also lower it slightly. I'd like prodrive springs but heard you can't really get them so probably a set of eibachs.* and maybe a front splitter. Oh and a set of antiroll bars.
I am not going mad as me and Ben (who i got the car from) have a RX8 was use as a full on track car
Just some subtle changes to make it mine really
any suggestions?
Interior is standard interior although i have fitted my bluetooth stereo. I need to chage the gearknob as its a bit worn, but thats it....
well enough of me rambling sorry, here are some pictures for you lovely people

Very nice and welcome, i know PCA Dynamics used to do a spring kit for the WRX which was basically the same as the Prodrive springs, not sure if they still do them, worth a look though, i got my bump stops from them for my prodrive red springs and they're a pleasure to deal with, even sent me out the RB320 geometry settings for when i get it set up.

Thanks guys
first mod was done today
the "teeth" on the scoop are now black
also arrived as i was leaving for work was the de-res centre section
I am still contemplating suspension, i drive a lot of back roads and as i am getting to know it, i have noticed the stock suspension just kind of soaks up everything, not keen to loose that to be fair..
i have fitted springs before and its become crashy on other cars.. maybe i just need to do ARBs? ormaybe whiteline springs i have heard good things about..
I think first place for improvment will be braided lines better pads and discs...
