How much do you want for it?

Is it a 2005 hawkeye?

That is a fair bit of labour if you are not doing it yourself

Brilliant!

Photos and a price may help the sale

How old do I feel now :P

Matt - is it better (in theory) to change the whole engine and gearbox from a simplicity perspective or is it more to do with including the rear axle as well?

wow 15K that is steep

not a silly question - auto to manual close ratio six speed STI box - hmmm lovely :)

Yup that should cover you

Removing one will make a difference as it is improving flow - removing both with be the most beneficial - or replacing with a sports cat. If it was me I would remove the 2nd cat (closest to back box) just for ease of replacement - you are just mating up to one old surface instead of two. You will notice a change in exhaust note if you remove the cats - but there is nothing to stop you putting them back - if you like the noise as is but want additional performance go for a sports cat replacement and remap over a complete de cat

x3 on ebay at the moment - are you looking for bug or blob - any preference?

that will take some shifting :D :D

Hi Caroline - Becky did have a later model hatchback impreza and the box sits parallel to the rear bumper so unfortunately I dont think this would fit your Fozzy

not something I wanted with mine - sorry

Wotcha and welcome :)

good piece of advice there - should have mentioned it myself

No braided, instead of just being rubber hoses they have a rubber core but a stainless steel braid around teh outside - this stops expansion / swelling of the hose when braking - older hoses are prone to do that. Just to be clear there is nothing wrong with OEM hoses when new but they tend to be expensive to replace so many opt for the aftermarket option. If you replaced trhe hoses you would get increased feel over the older OEM items and they will be less prone to brake fade under repeated use. If it is purely for looks I would see if these are an option for your model http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=378

Wotcha and welcome

Wotcha and welcome, all sound advice above

Use photobucket and post the links. That way you get decent size pics so we can see

Wotcha and welcome Tracy, nothing to add to what has been said. It may well be worth investigating a powerflow type exhaust system particularly if you are looking to keep the vehicle

I can vouch for Black Diamond discs and have used EBC pads - there is another thread on here discussing EBC pads and I know brake discs have been discussed. Are your discs worn at the moment? If not what I would suggest is replace the standard hoses with braided items and a full flush through with Dot5.1 fluid

Contact RichR I believe he is still on the lookout - although I believe he did want a WRX buuuut you never know as it is a really clean example http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/12841-looking-for-wrx/

Wotcha and welcome to the forum - you can always post a thread in the wanted section for parts as sometimes bits from other models will fit :)
