Was good to meet you to mate dealing with yourself and Adam hat off to you's very happy man. took the car on a the 2800 mile round trip to Monte Carlo and back in 3 days and it never missed a beat love it. I'll post some pic's of the charity rally up as it was good crack some cracking cars took part too, mint xr3i, a bently brooklands, mg midget, fully rebuild 1972 army jeep!! I'll be on the phone at some point as im needing some clips etc for the series mcrae.

Lush!

Do you reckon the rear tints were a factory option on the hawks? You see them so often on UK cars (including mine) that I have to wonder... And I must be the only hawkeye STI owner not to have a front splitter

What's your suspension setup?

I'll recommend HTatuo's splitters they are good quality, sturdy and really easy to fit. suspension set up is standard the now with the red prodrive springs, will hopefully be putting on some whiteline goodies in the future. Tints look like a factory option not sure tho

We were on our way home from the fundraising event in Monte Carlo and clocked blue blobeye sti reg -SC05BEE!!! even said hello as we were parked side by side at the ferry terminal!! maybe someone on here???

what about John's X444WRX on hear's wrx that i have for sale at the moment at Ian Grieve,its a belter and has PPP and loads of toys.

Just thought i'd post up some pics of my blobeyes replacement. This is her when she's dirty and fly splattered too!!!, this one really is a minter. Still cant believe one as good as this has come my way, maybe its true what they say......all good things come to those who wait!!! What do you guys think?

Picture of the very beast in question.

Morning all, I recently have acquired an 07 2.5 sti ppp. I had my old magenx system from the turbo back swapped onto the car. It consists of decatted down pipes centre section and back box etc. I have been warned that the dash may light because of the emmission control function on the 2.5. What is the easy solution to stop it lighting up if it detects there is no cat or am i best just forking out for a sports cat? or is it easier to had it and some hard earned cash over to Mr AF for mapping to resolve? can anyone experience share? im a bit wary of the 2.5 as its the first ive had, ive always had 2.0's and they have been bomb proof but have heard alot of chat that the 2.5 are a tad more fragile. I ran the magnex on an 05 wrx ppp and never had any issues nor light come on in the 2 years i had the car. Any feedback welcome. Cheers John

There are differences between the Hawkeye and Blobeye!!!!

The downpipe and catpipe are different lengths (shorter downpipe and longer catpipe on the Hawkeye) however the combined length of the two parts are the same on both cars. So, if you are replacing it with a full length decat (or sportscat) downpipe then you wont have any problems.

Gus

Cheers for the info Gus much appreciated

Yep, should fit ok. Its only newage / classic that isn't a straight swap.

Thanks mate, i thought that, i just wanted to check with others. im thinking of trading the blobby in for a hawkeye and was honest and said there were no cats on her. now i can bargain to keep my full magnex system and ask if they will swap they systems over as the hawk has a prodrive system. I knew i should have kept the old one but thats what happens when you need funds for other projects!!! Cheers John

Quick question for the exhaust boffins......... are the systems from the turbo back on the hawkeyes the same as the later blobeyes ie will be a straight swap over for the down pipe, centre section and rear box............or at the very least the down pipe section??? Thanking you in advance for your help, cheers John

During 2010 Keyline Builders Merchants who I work for as a Branch Manager are supporting the Prostate Cancer Charity. In this time Keyline want to raise £50,000 and to help in this effort we will be driving from London to Monte Carlo and back in 96 hours in a team of 20 cars with 2 support vehicles.

The added twist for us is that we will be travelling from Inveraray on the West coast of Scotland meaning that in under 6 days we will be driving 2600 miles between a team of 2 drivers. As a Husband and Wife team in a Subaru travelling from the furthest away destination to take part in Keyline's challenge, we are seeking your support by making pledges and helping to raise awareness. Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in the UK yet few of us are aware of it. My Wife lost her father to cancer less than 2 years ago, and we really want to do our bit to support a cancer charity as its close to our hearts.
