x444wrx

Pretty serious stuff,hope the womans ok and gets over this give time. I think everybody should take it as a warning its always happening to someone else or your reading about it,but really who knows it could be one of us next. one of my mates pals lost an r32 when a junkie f*%k threated him with a needle.......would you take the chance.too many horror stories LOCK THE DOORS!!!!!!

really like these wheels on your blobby mate they set it off and really suit it,first time iv seen them with the blue rim.

Sorry Derek (reputable owner of a nice catalunya recently admired at the mcrae presentation!!!) no offence ment mate lol but i think yours is in slightly better nick than the flea-bay example!!!

After much consideration i went for a set of prodrive springs rather than tein efforts as the ride quality for daily use was not as hard.........tell you better if i ever get round to fitting them!!!

How are you doin mate? i clocked this on the 16th and emailed the guy about it as iv been after a catalunya / terzo / series mcrae for a while as a wee project car,i think there is more to this car than a blown turbo that wouldnt cost the earth to sort here's the reply i got from the guy called Derek........ "hi there bud yep i was the same with it being so many owners but seriously the car surprised me after seeing all the paperwork and receipts to back everything up there is every receipt for services, parts and loads more theres floders full, the car was perfectly sound before it blew the turbo and no there is no knocking or any funny noises atal after it blew the turbo it was parked straight in the drive i will send some piks thanks derek" the cars certainly worth more than £1500 stripping all the crap off it for re-sale and returning it to its former glory or as you say turning it into a track hound terror!!! its worth a punt if you ask me. ps no worries about me bidding i may have found a series mcrae fingers crossed

Really nice looking motor mate!! the more i look at these new shape hatches they are starting to grow on me especially in white or black.Im sure this car will not be standard for very long indeed enjoy!!!!

Im with you on this one mate you can have the best of both worlds and get a newage spec c ra-r........thats if ya can find a good yin!!!

pretty seriuos spec list to be just checking the water!!!!

Alrite mate, Adam Constable @ prodrive has told me to fit the springs for my03-my04 with part number W03/D5/001 (SACC2566). What scooby dealer was it you dealt with? Im going to go with Adam @ prodrive with this one im afraid,not too fussed with the bumpstops the now,looking at F&R arb's,drop links etc etc first...nice to see im not the only owner of one of these hybrid "blobbyhawkeye's" when it comes to mod's and enhancements!!!!! at least ive got a part num for the bumpstops when required.....cheers mate appreciated John

Your lucky mate,even luckier the kids werent in the car,feel sorry for the woman in the volvo main thing is you guys are ok..........as for the flying focus,probably be the first and last impreza he passes i think the traffic boys will take very appropriate action on his lack of skills especially if there are plenty of statements about his conduct!!! D**K doesnt deserve to hold a licence if thats what he's like.

Alrite Sparks how are you mate? I just thought i'd fire a post up here to see if anyone wanted the challenge of keeping up on the way down ,im not a man to be late or miss anything usually!!!!!......of course only to 70mph well until the snooper gets swiched on and then we'll be going foo-kin-quik!!!!!!!!!!! how long are you at sea for?

Iv got a few things i really need to do tommorrow so cant join the others in the convoy down. is there anyone else doing the journey and heading down on sunday morning?????? or am i the only looney on here from scotland????

Hi mate,welcome and you may want to cut up your credit cards now!!!!!!

Looking good pal,like the front splitter, good addition!! I started polishing mine the day ahead of the weekend visit south of the border!!!!

Alrite Kenny, Croc's a forestry plant mechanic and fixes mega £ machines like tiger cats, forwarders and crazy stuff like that,anytime i need anything i bug him in the workshop. It'll be the glasgow meet im going to, are you there or is it falkirk for you?? i know the rear ones i have are too short BUT the thread size should be the same...sometime soon your front stoppers will look and perform like mine and many others...cheers John.

I emailed prodrive and either they are very busy or im not good enough!!! just kidding they probably have a few higher priorities than me i guess as i havent had a reply yet!!! sent them all the cars details , chasis numbers etc so i can either get a set from them or else where. the problem seems to be my cars a very late 2005 blob eye and not the hawkeye version and everyone ive spoken to says the 05-07 springs only fit the hawks and they are not sure if the ones listed for 02-04 will fit coz the cars an 05!! hopefully prodrive will sort something out!!!! just a nightmare mate!!!

Tell me about it mate! i've got the same problem trying to locate prodrive lowering springs that will fit my car,why why why the previuos owner removed they i'll never know ....canny thank him enough NOT!!!!!

Kenny ive got a set of rear gold brembo calipers lying in the garage somewhere mate and i know there are a set of 4 bolts that my mate Croc cut down to fit when were were attempting the rear brakes fit to my car. i will go up the now and see if i can find them,im presuming they will be the same bolt size as the fronts were, i know they deffo fit wrx mount and thread size as we had the caliper mounted but the disc's i had were about 10mm short in diameter and i didnt want to risk it as the car would probably want to tear them off!!!!!!! Im heading down to the meet on thurs now there's minimum chance of being harrassed by the police and vosa, if they are not long enough coz they were cut for the rear calipers i'll go and bug Croc for 4 full lenghth ones for you pal,i'll keep you updated incase you dont get any in the meantime!!

Evening all, does anyone know if the prodrive lowering springs which are blue in colour with this code on them - WO3/D5/001 , 24/05 will fit a late 2005 blobeye wrx ppp or are they for bugeye models or doesnt it matter??? if they fit will i require any other adjustments? my blobeye had all the prodrive upgrades from factory from new including the suspension but one of the previous owners has removed and im sure at the moment its running with standard shockers and standard springs,and i want to return it to as was, all replies valued,cheers John

Kenny i feel sorry for you mate your havin a job and a half with these brembo's.......not to worry it will be worth it in the end and the stopping power and looks are well worth it mate. John

Alrite mate how are you?,i have a scoop lying up in the garage in wr blue im sure its got 3 uprights and it came off a blobeye wrx if its any use to you? i'll check for part numbers on it when im up...cheers John

now you see guys it always pays to ask!!! i was sure myself they never made ra-r's in the blobeyes and only in the hawkeye form. but your always best to ask those who are in the know...cheers guys. ps sparky hurry up and put your black hawkeye up for sale!!!!!

GO ON BE "THE BANDIT"!!!!!!

i Alrite bud how are you? i had a good look at this the interior eg the dials on the centre console this would indicate that its well older than a 55 plate because they are the same as whats in my 2002 gx sports wagon and the ones in blobeye x444wrx are the same as the haweye models and shes originally an 05plate. cars for sales plate l555jjj on a couple of sites is coming back as an sti. i would expect a car producing a claimed 400 horses to have a rather large spec list attached. nice looking car all the same whatever the hell it is!!!

cheers dipsy i was talking to my mate about these the night and hey was also sure that the ra-r's were hawkeye only limited to only 300??
