Thanks mate, for both the welcome and the information. I like the hawkeye shape especially, but was worried about their documented frailties and was looking at a few other options including some JDM twinscroll imports. Went for the type UK version in the end for practicality and the fact API had just rebuilt and upgraded the engine so I knew it was good. Looking forward to getting back into it again....I've missed it. I used to live and work in Essex/Suffolk and thats where I owned my previous Scooby. Glad to hear that there are a few people around the Gloucester area as was worried there wouldn't be anyone!

Sorry to hear about yours; like you said bright side is free cambelt change! I'll PM you my exact location. No pictures yet, will put some up over next few days when I take them and get chance to upload.

Hi Binjoau, I also live in Gloucester and have just joined the forum after buying a Hawkeye STi to replace my Classic ST; which I had to sell a few years back. I'm not sure how many others there are in the area or if there are any meets, but would be good to speak on here; as you obviously know your stuff!

Hi everyone, Greetings from a very wet and windy Gloucester! After being the owner of a highly modified Subaru Impreza 99' (and having to sell it as the wife thought a house was more important :(), I have spent the last 5-6 years longing to get another one!! Therefore, I have now just bought myself a 56' Hawkeye Impreza STi and taking the opportunity at the same time to join this forum. I apologise if some of my early questions are stupid, but I have been away from the scene for a while and alot has changed in the last few years. Whilst I am under orders not to modify the car too heavily, the car I have bought has just had the engine rebuilt by API (as the common Piston problem with the 2.5 struck); so at least that saves me worrying about the ringlands and paying out for a rebuild!! Looking at suggestions for a good mapper for a remap now the engine has been run in - if anyone can suggest someone? It has the PPP pack, but definitely needs some more 'tweaking'. Also looking to see if there are any get togethers in the Gloucestershire area too? Thanks Kev
