2006 Subaru Hawk Eye (Version 9) Widetrack 305bhp Type UK DCCD Build No.#123
Hi All
I am selling my Widetrack Hawk Eye Subaru which I have to say is very well looked after and has a very extensive history.
I am new to ScoobyNet (a lurker) but please don't let this put you off. I am a huge car enthusiast and have been members of various clubs for many years, you can google my mobile number or username (Joeh).
It has cost me an absolute fortune in the last two weeks and I'm on a edge where I'm considering whether I will keep the car rather than selling.
The car has excellent power and torque and appears to have had a remap at some stage. I was advised that the power output is 305bhp but this is to your consideration. I strongly advise to view the car to have your own opinion on this, I am very sure you will not be disappointed.
All the work had just finished yesterday (17/01/2014):
The cost was just over £2,200
I've also just put two front tires on the car.
The pictures are here:

Very nice looking car!
You probably want to mention that it's on the cheaper road tax band as well (assuming it was registered before the 23rd of March 2006, which from the service history it appears to have been)

Ok firstly the head didn't lift on my car there was a clear sign of head gasket failure on one cylinder.
Secondly I have enough knowledgeable and reputable people around me to not require the opinion of people on an Internet board who have probably not done more than their own service on their car.
I am still waiting for proof that the OEM cylinder head bolts are insufficient for their application, I don't want your opinions, guesses or rumours because as you can probably guess they hold no water or value.
If the head lifted on your car you should have engine oil in your cooling system, if you didn't then more than likely your cylinder head didn't lift and you should have looked harder. Warped from excessive heat, maybe but let me guess, you skimmed the head anyway even though there was no sign of head gasket failure? Sounds like the guessing game to me.
And what does forging have to do with anything? It's not related at all with head gasket failure, yes maybe if I'd consider looking for more power by running a larger turbo with higher boost then maybe but I'm more than happy with a standard car, in fact it's quite responsive for what it is and I don't see needing more power for the road being exactly a logical thing.
I can say confidently that the Group N cars that were run by this WRC team did have standard head bolts and they ran these engines without a head lifting. bare in mind they were being driven under much worse conditions than your hoon around the Manchester town centre.
I don't think a WRC head mechanic and a Subaru master tech can be much of a misguide in comparison to some Internet qualified trolls.
So has anyone from those posting above actually checked the bolts if they are stretched? Ran a straight edge against a bolt to check for dipped threads? Laid a new bolt thread along side an old bolt and checked for thread irregularities?
Sorry guys but I think you're posting on the wrong thread, if you're not interested in the car and have nothing useful to add then I suggest you find another part of the forum to post your conspiracy theories.

Thread tidied as requested. This is advert for a car. The seller has answered any questions asked about work carried out.
The sales section is NOT a place of discussion about the merits of head studs!!
So, if you aren't interesting in buying...DO NOT POST. (As per sale section rules: " If you don't like the price or item being offered and not interested in buying, do not reply, just move on." https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...nd-advice.html )
Good luck with the sale (and free bump
)
