(Apologies if I asked this question on the wrong thread)
Hi guys I’m basically new to the whole Subaru thing and I’m looking at buying a 2003 and plus Impreza wrx. But long story short I ended up going to look at a 2006 Hawkeye that’s been fully sti converted (2.0 short block) ( 6 speed sti gearbox and diff)
The car had a massive list of mods. The problem I’m having is the current owner isn’t the one who built the car and he severely lacks any knowledge about the car (He seemed like a very decent chap tho in fairness and I do genuinely think he only likes it cause it’s fast lol). The car is meth injected as well. It’s been sitting up for 8 months aswell. I drove it and had a good look around it it seemed okay but is there anyone in this group that can give me advice on the car.I’m not too familiar with jap cars as I’ve always wanted one but couldn’t afford it here in Ireland (most of my cars have been German). I’m fairly mechanically minded so I can check the basics and listen out for any sounds that shouldn’t be there. I’ll post the spec list and pictures of the car even if someone recognises the car and can tell me more about it. Or if someone can come with me to have another look at the car I’ll take care of you for your time.
Thank you
