I cannot recommend anything at the moment, other than some more beer! lol.

10k will pick you up a 05 plate UK STI, doubt you will see either a JDM STI on an 05, or a hawkeye (though ive seen a couple at 11k with low mileage) but definately no spec c's, they still hold a premium.

If you find something you fancy stick a link up in your post, best way to get opinions from people.

Good luck with the hunt, you should get something nice with that kind of budget.
