hawk sti..............

Built by AK Automotive ... Checked and Corrected by Gaz at GR performance?!?!?

CHECKED??????? eh, am nee expert, but Andy K plus others on here are the best in the business I believe, is this just a passing comment???

I emailed the guy when I saw 4 weeks ago and asked him what he meant by "corrected" - He said that as there weren't any receipts for the forged engine build and he only had the sellers word for it, he had it inspected by GR Performance to confirm if it was indeed a forged engine, which was confirmed. He said that the car was running lean and that was what was corrected, so there was nothing wrong with the forged engine.

here is his response to me:

Dear balancingbernardi,

Last owner did not have the original receipts, so taken it to gaz. Who checked and confirmed it was forged, it was also running lean at that time and he checked and corrected it

Looks like a WRX not STI. Red rear calipers and fogs.

It was owned by Iddy on here Michael and was running something ridiculous like 520 BHP....I'm catching up though

Ah. Just realised which car it is. Looks different. Red brakes are the Porsche ones then...

Think it was running about 600bhp when iddy had it. I preferred it when it looked sleeper..

Yep that is the Porsche brakes - Drew's wagon is the new sleeper...about 600bhp...if he hasn't already added some more on to that figure, which I wouldn't put past him

Doesnt look like iddys hawk...must of changed a lot if it is

Well this is about to end, looks like someone will get a great car for a decent price unless the bidding goes up right at the end.

If this is Iddy's old car, did he take the front mount and induction kit off before selling it as I thought he had left them bits on.

Lots of bits were removed before the sale and standard put back on. He ended this auction last week and "accepted a best offer" - must have fallen through. Great car for someone if it stays around the price it is now

Yeh I know he took loads of bits off and put it back to fairly standard but I thought he'd left the induction kit and front mount on. So it this definitely Iddy's old car then.

Yes mate - Iddy confirmed at the meet last night it was indeed his old girl!
