Hawkeye Spec-c Toshi Arai
This is a one of only a handful MY07 (Reg 57) Hawkeye Spec C's Toshi Arai in the UK & that is out of only maybe approx 1000 Hawkeye Spec's ever made. The Hawkeye shape was only in production from 2005 to 2007 & of the limited Spec C's there are only to my knowledge, 3-4 Toshi Arai Editions, in the UK.
I have spent over £2,000 over the past month by improving on parts
Below is a list of enhancements over & above what a standard Spec C has
Full in gear ECUTEK Remap by Litchfield Imports
Full Miltek exhuast system including performance CAT
Costworth panel filter
Whiteline Rear 24mm adj roll bar
Upgraded Brake Fluid
18" Brand new speedline turini alloys (due to be fitted this weekend)
Brand New Goodyear F1 Asymmetric tyres - covered only 300 miles
Back window tint
Brand new Sti front splitter
New Sti Mats
Brand new Performance Friction disks and Z pads all round
Full custom lazer alignment
The Japanese STI Spec C is mechanically very different to the production STI models. Revisions over the UK STI include:
Revised Engine internals & Equal Length exhaust Manifold
Twin Scroll VF36/37 Turbo with no discernible lag
Nitride coated, cross drilled crank & ore aggressive inlet cams with 8,000 rpm redline
Automatic intercooler water spray button
13:1 quick rack steering
Revised centre diff control unit with additional sensors & Auto Diff Controller
New larger intercooler design
6 speed uprated gearbox
Front Sti titanium strut brace & rear Rear strut brace
120 kg lighter than the standard STI with lightweight glass, roof, boot lid, all excess trim & sound deadening removed.(This actual car's Weight is 1390kg with half tank fuel)
Rally Roof vent
Different radiator, water pump and additional engine & transmission oil coolers for improved cooling under track conditions.
Performance revolving chamber fuel pump (anti surge)
Stiffer chassis with revised welding & stiffer suspension turrets
Smaller 50 litre fuel tank & Smaller lightweight battery
I really like the car but there is no chance of me doing track days this year due to work and other personal commitments.
The car is priced to sell, I paid close to £20k with the mods and they have only been on the car for around 6 weeks.
I will not consider part ex deals as I have another car lined up, this will be on hear and e-bay for 2 weeks if not sold it will be part exchanged but I don't want a dealer making a few grand on this.
Please no tyre kickers or test pilots, if you want to know what a 2007 Hawkeye feels like then get a test drive somewhere, and on test drive, I will only entertain if you are in a position to buy the car and not waiting to sell before buying...
This is the cheapest car available today in the UK!!!..
Price - £16,995.00 No offers...

I know Cyberevo and I can personally vouch for him as being a straight guy. This car is a Litchfield supplied car so is bang on. Anyone looking for a Hawkeye Spec C would be a fool not to snap this up.
I saw this car when it was at Litchfield's a couple of months back and did consider in taking this off Cyberevo's hands the other week, when he told me he would rather something a bit less raw lol, but I was unable to justify two Spec C's! But that is how good the car is!
Car's like this hardly ever come up.... especially at this price.
I doubt this will be round for long.
Cyberevo,
You haven't put the mileage up..... which is VERY low! Was it around 13-14k miles?
