welcome

Hawk onwards 5 speed is considerably stronger so shouldn't be an issue unless your ham fisted with it, i ran 390/420 on one for 15 months no issue and know a few others who have been well over 400.

Cheers, no longer have the car now sadly, clinic returned it to stock and resprayed it and its been sold on, good knews is i know who the owner is so know he'll take care of it 😄

Clinic's done a few of them to various spec's. Nice bit of kit for sure

Wrx Sti Hawkeye acceleration issues

What mods does rhe car have? Has it been remapped? -
you cant really compare year to year, gobstoppers time varied by over a second between the years it won it, the slower time being the latest time. as far as cost i can tell you there is way more than 500k in each of them 😉
-
thats a bodge fix anyway, is just covers the noise, not fix the problem. look at a decent set of aftermarket either shocks or coilovers
-
2.5 has known issues with headgaskets and ringlands. They dont all go but a higher percentage than most engine types
-
Sounds way way too cheap 1800 for rebyild and clutch change
-
With a nocking engine and being stood for many years wont be worth huge amounts im afraid 😞 Being a wrx will only be 4-5k at most even in top condition. Engine your looking at a 3-4k bill, plus a car standing for years wont have done anything for the seals and other rubber components. Even though it has unused tyres i expect it will need a new set anyway unless they went on recently? I'd say anything over £1500 and your doing well.

Yeah its same everywhere. Up to you, so much crap ibformstion gets given out on fb is the downside.

Sign of the tines. Traffic flow on forums is down across the board. Fb and a drop in owner numbers has hit scoob scene hard 😞 this site has fits a bursts so keep an eye on it, its got a good bunch of folks on here.

im yet to see any stock td04's make 300 without some sort of discrepancy with the graphs/settings on the dyno/temp correction. Hybrids are a different kettle of fish though of course. Hot days tend to give better figures than cold days due to over correction, which doesn't happen on hot days due to that correction not being there.
-
I still remember a fudged figure at a dyno day, 286bhp, out if a 2.0 sport? Brought some sniggers but highlights a point of how easy it is to fudge.

My Newest & 3rd Scoob. This is a keeper!

Watch out for wheel fitment, they wont go under normal wheels. -
Being a 2.5 i'd be leaning more towards the headgasket. best bet is get a sniff test done and see what the result is.
-
Yeah saw this, i expect the dyno is being generous. Also hot days tend to skew figures higher because the dyno over corrects. i'd like to see the actual printout, but i highly doubt its actualy over 300bhp
-
really depends if you want to keep it or not. If you wanna keep it then i'd look at having an engine built to go in it, a second hand engine is just that, also tryign to find the right engine will be very very difficult
-
as above :)

we only get better through our mistakes :)
-
you mean they don't come with it standard? lol yeah very common, rare to find one that isn't. Prob going to reuse it as the crack is small.
