I also just did a 410/430 build on my hawkeye, but I am aiming for 450/450 with the addition of a FMIC and AVC-R to get better control over the boost. I had my headers ported but I am not sure if they will allow me to reach 450/450.

GT spec headers from Lateral Performance will get you there

But the headers will let your car realise its' full potential, seems crazy to spend £7K and then not spend the extra £700!

I know what your saying. There has to be a line drawn somewhere and I am trying to do that, but I guess I will have to move that line further away and try and pick up some headers

If anyone has any for sale PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Give Harvey a shout, he can supply pre-wrapped and while you're there buy one of his GT-spec up-pipes for better spool, lol

Not very factual David i left at least 3 messages with Simon and you would never take my calls.

Mardi-gras where much more helpful with my ap racing brake set-up i had fitted.



You was not intersted in helping me with my suspension and again olly & the team at rcm 10 out 10 excellent service.

If that was your best ability then i,ll send all my referrals to RCM quite where you think you what my finances are like i do not know.



Having spoken to other club members i know i am not alone receiving poor service from Api

You said you were going to call back when you had some - you never did.

I would go for John Pye Motors Ltd (Bishop Auckland). www.johnpyemotors.com

Just take a look at all the rallying they do, and all the rally cars they look after and you can see that they know what they are talking about.

Give David at APi a ring for a quote; be warned though, it won't be cheap to get a hawk to a reliable 400/400 as you're looking at opening up the engine for forged internals
