Hi all
I'm toying with the idea of getting a 2007 hawk sti A-line, I just want to know are the A-lines the same as other Jim's in terms of forged pistons, nitrided crack , semi closed deck , 8k red line etc etc ?
Also what are the differences of the A-line ?

Thanks in advance

The JDM cars after 2003 didn't come with Forged Pistons.

Trying to find a better source of info but I thought the Hawkeye A Line was 2L JDM EJ with 6MT. When they moved away from the Hawk to the Hatch body style the A Line went 2.5 and 5 speed Auto. Did have the applied model code but can’t find it just now to check a better source of info.

Sorry if I have this wrong but don’t think I do. No offence meant.

Its a regular 2.0 sti without the bgw

I am pretty sure this is it. Worth double checking to make sure your content it is correct.

It's basicly a JDM spec D with a few tweaks such as centre console change, rear lip spoiler etc they look exactly the same as my sti limited.

I thought all A-lines were autos, so I guess that’s a new thing learned today!

I *think* Hawkeye A-Line are offered in both Auto and Manual transmission and the Hatch JDM A-Line are all auto

So in theory the tight tolerances should be much better but we all know that isn't the case. Was it a cost thing that they moved away from Forged

Emissions control

in practice they appear to be far more brittle than a std or factory forged style piston (note aftermarket forged pistons are generally far stronger anyhows)

fine whilst working but ultimately suffer ringland failure if subjected to slightly out of kilter fuelling, etc.....

Forget about lol
