ULTRA RARE: Stunning, low milage, forged 470bhp White 07 Hawkeye STi
Overview:
A stunning 07 Hawkeye STi with 33k on the clock in the very rare solid white colour with a forged build from APi, mapped by Bob Rawle that produced 472bhp and 483 lbs ft of torque on Delta dash.
Just to be perfectly clear as to the reason for sale: Having just bought a house in London, I have to ask myself whether the money that is sitting on the drive wouldn't better be used to enhance the bachelor pad lol. Getting old and sensible, gotta love it, eh???
SO the car is for sale ...... if the right offer and buyer comes along. NB I would like it to go to a really good home with someone who'll appreciate it and look after it as well as I have, hence advertising on SN first. .
History:
I got this car as an unmodified STi PPP back in December 2010 off a chap who was emigrating and who had bought the car from the dealership in 2007. On the way back home, I popped into APi to get the car's oil changed and then BRD to have the PPP map replaced with one from Bob (I'd heard bad things about the PPP map for the 2.5s). Not long after the chat with David, l decided that I simply HAD to have a big bhp rebuild! I wanted to retain that lovely low down torque that the 2.5 engine provides, but give it a turbo that could make use of the engine's capacity and provide a properly ballistic car for the road. It had to have excellent spool characteristics, it should deliver 450bhp and 450lbs ft torque or above and it HAD to be properly reliable. The following specification was agreed on:
Engine specification - built by Mick at Api
STi 9 EJ257 2.5 engine
- Supertech forged pistons
- APi steel rods
- Cosworth 11mm head stud kit
- ACL bearings
- Cosworth gaskets and seals
- Tufnol inlet spacers
- Cosworth baffled sump
Ancillaries and supporting modifications
- SC46 Billet turbo
- Mongoose 3 inch exhaust. (one of the quieter varieties, relatively of course)
- Gen 2 Spec tubular headers
- APi variable flow injectors
- Fuel Lab fuel pressure regulator
- APi parallel fuel rail conversion
- RCM fuel pump
- APi oil pump
- Mocal oil cooler kit
- Hybrid FMIC
- Simota inner wing cold air induction kit
- 3 port boost solenoid
- Perrin turbo inlet hose
Obviously the cambelt was changed (RCM one) and all the fluids at this point. A knock link was also fitted. The engine has 10k on it. It was run in as per APi instructions on a map from Bob then at 1100 miles was given a full map at which point Bob commented: "Api did a good job for you with this engine" Before the results of the Delta Dash runs were available, Bob commented that the "bum dyno" points to a good 460. Turned out it was a bit higher.
Drivetrain modifications
- AP organic clutch (just recently been replaced by a Comp clutch from APi: nicer than the AP, just a bit smelly!)
- APi Lightened flywheel
Suspension modifications
BC coilovers with comfort rate springs and rear extenders so you can adjust the dampers easily.
Brakes: AP 330 kit with the uber expensive 5570 callipers
Tyres: Michelin Pilot sport 3 all round (good amount of tread on them)
Cosmetic mods
PPF7s, Prodrive mudflaps, STi front splitter. It really is a striking looking car: you WILL get noticed so it's not for those who dislike a bit of attention.
Mapping:
By" the Guru", Bob Rawle. Ecutek RaceRom. Mafless running with twin maps, one with Launch control, flatfoot shifting and auto blipping on down changes activated, the other with these features switched off. The actual map itself is identical: boost control is achieved via the right foot, sir! lol
On the road:
This is a superb road car. The spool characteristics remind me of my classic when it had the little std TD04 fitted and yet this is a 460bhp turbo!! It really is remarkable. Compared to the car when it was remapped with the PPP set up, this is just a league ahead in terms of the performance. Whereas the original car had nice low down grunt, but got a bit breathless over 4k, this one retains all of the low down meatiness and then some, but give the turbo the nod and it just hurls you down the road with increasing vigor. The pace of this car down a good road is scarcely believable; it just devours any straights and then exhibits typical Scooby grip and tenacity in the bends. The ride is good for a car of this nature, the BCs can be adjusted to suit taste. Need to overtake: a surplus of torque makes short work of any traffic you need to get past: on NSL roads, you can make great progress with 5th gear, such is the low down torque. Put it into 4th and you just slingshot from bend to bend and 3rd is just for showing off! If you take it for a sprint through the gears, the rate at which this car gets through them is just daft 1-4 is just a blur (and this is a long legged UK geared car don’t forget). Make no mistake; this is still performance that you can use: full throttle in first? If it’s dry, not a problem, sir! It’s also still at a level where the power isn’t too much for the chassis (although I’m glad I have APs on the car!!). What’s perhaps most impressive about this conversion though is its flexibility – it just has power everywhere and is so tractable: 40mph, 5th gear, foot down and off it goes: no complaint, just an increasing surge of power. It’s easy when you want to cruise around town (the clutch is very OEM like in operation), it’s fast when you’re just making progress and it’s really, really fast when you are in the mood for a bit of fun. It’s worth putting the power of a SC46 Scooby in context: what we’re talking here is a power to weight ratio equal to or greater than a Porsche 911 turbo. So yes, it's a quick car!
Documentation:
I have a packed A4 ring binder that documents the work carried out on this car and the servicing etc... No expense has been spared looking after this car. All servicing and work has been carried out by the very reputable specialists at APi or Xtreme scoobies.
Useage and condition:
I am a careful owner (not a boy racer) who believes in mechanical sympathy: The car is ALWAYS warmed up properly before using boost and cooled down after a hard drive. I do not launch the car habitually or drive it like I've stolen it: it is enjoyed NOT abused. It has NEVER seen track use in the time I've owned it. It is serviced using the best consumables: Titan Pro S 10/50 oil and it has ALWAYS and i do mean ALWAYS been run on V power (it's mapped for it).
It looks lovely inside and out as you can see from the pictures, but please do bare in mind this is a car that is used, not stashed away in a garage 24/7. Of course it gets washed and polished regularly, but being a 6 year old white car, there are a few blemishes in the paintwork there is one small section under the front nearside wheel arch where the mudflap has been attached where there is a little rust patch that I would like to get sorted, the usual small stone chips that one would expect on a 7 year old car and a section of the rear bumper that could use a touch up - that's the problem with white, it's not a forgiving colour lol, but it don't half suit the car. The passenger side alloys also have some curbing (it was the previous owner!!!) I'm not really into having a "blinged up" engine bay, so don't expect polished chrome etc.... Don't misunderstand, there is nothing disfiguring here, but I just wouldn't want a person absolutely after an example with concurs level paintwork to have a wasted journey.

So what am I after for it and why?
As I said above, I don't have to sell this car, so I can do this on my terms. It is a very rare car there might only be one or two (or maybe even no) UK Hawkeye STis in white and with this kind of spec in the entire UK. It's about as good as spec as you'll get for a road car and has been owned by people that have loved it and lavished an awful lot of time and money on it. I've spent in the region of 15k+ on mods for this car alone (and lord only knows how much extra on servicing etc). There are no silly inflated power estimates, nasty mods and no "bling" here, just proper, proven, reliable performance.
Accordingly, the offers I'll be look at will be around the 17.5k mark . Please don't contact me with silly "optimistic offers" as you'll only politely be told, "no".
Sorry, but I'm not interested in part exchange and I will NOT be breaking the car under any circumstances.
Please bare in mind:
If you're not a paying member of SN I reserve the right to ask you to e-mail me photo ID prior to viewing the car. This is for the car's security.
ABSOLUTELY NO TEST PILOTS OR TYRE KICKERS. David at APi will attest to the condition of this car. I will conduct any test drives unless you provide valid documentary evidence of insurance to the value of the car to drive it. Even then I will not tolerate anyone ragging the car. If you break it, you buy it!
CHAPS payment only. The car WILL NOT be released under any circumstances UNTIL I can see the funds in my account.

I should point out that I've adjusted the wording to be a bit clearer: the car is for sale at the right price; I was just trying to get across that I'll need an offer that'll make me ok with letting it go and an owner who I'm comfortable letting it go to.

Thanks to all for the nice comments.
Ironically I had a chat with an Evo driver yesterday evening at the local Shell Garage; his ears pricked up when I said it was for sale and he said that he knew someone who was looking to replace his Evo 10 with something from "the dark side" so we'll see what happens there!

Yet your only interested in paying members of scoobynet??
Sorry but I'm not a paying member and I won't be until I've found a suitable Subaru for me and contradicting yourself like you have done will put many people off, such as myself.

Thanks for spotting that; poor wording on my part. The point of the Photo ID bit was to give non paying members a chance to buy without compromising the car's security. Will adjust the wording!
PS I've also knocked £500 of the price to give the new owner extra dough to address the few small areas of paintwork that could use a touch up from a SMART specialist.

Hi Stuart,
The bike and the car are lovely mate, but I'm not after a PX and in any case good luck getting permission from my mum for me to buy and ride a scooter let alone an R1!
