Default Anyone want to swap an older STI for a forged 2007 Hawk?

I'm considering sitting tight and saving for a few years for a new/nearly STI or a used GTR.

My other option is to keep upgrading the Hawk (bigger turbo, brakes, box etc)

I'm considering swapping for an older STI that I can just have fun with while I'm saving!

The Hawk is on 107,000km (66k miles)

And was rebuilt at API 11 months ago

Mahle forged pistons
ACL bearings
Modified oil / replace pick up pipe
11mm ARP studs
STI gaskets
Cambelt
Stage II competition clutch
Ecutek 3 remap
Deatsch werks DW300 fuel pump

It's running around 290bhp and a great platform to build upon - if there's no interest I'll prolly up the turbo and sit tight for a couple of years!

Cheers
