Default Selling or breaking my Hawkeye

So, first off I know about the rules. I’ve been a paid up member for my time here which expired last month. I won’t be renewing for a year to sell it so if it’s against the rules, feel free to pull it.

In Feb I’m going to be looking to sell my Impreza. I’d rather sell as a whole car but if there is enough interest I would break it.

Looks like a lot of car for the money.

Can’t see you having an issue selling it at that price

Those front calipers look the business

What does it actually drive like on the air ride?

I think your price is fair.

Thanks for the replies. The pricing of the cars on the market are making it difficult for me. It’s a nice car and would be a shame to break it.

I may end up putting it on eBay at auction starting at 10. Not sure I could bare the messages I’d get about it though.

I’ve always been into big brakes, I’d have liked the discs to be a touch bigger - the discs on my old M3 were 380’s and filled an 18” wheel beautifully.

They were redone Gold from new by Godspeed, the colour match isn’t good but that’s a well covered issue. Depending on how picky you were you might want to get the rears redone to be a perfect match but it’s not as glaringly obvious when they’re a car length apart..

It rides pretty well on the air - most people comment they expect it to be bouncy but it’s not unless you’ve got it pumped right up to maximum pressure and height (handy being able to adjust ride height on the go for unexpected speed humps etc) which really stiffens the ride up (imagine no suspension travel at all) but at ride height it’s smooth and firm enough, damping is adjustable. It’ll never beat a well setup pair of coilovers but that isn’t it’s goal. I wouldn’t say it was any less capable than it was with the BC’s that it came on: which are still here and I could swap back to and adjust the price accordingly I guess.

Try not to break it bud, worst case just remove the mods and put back to stand.

Hi mate,

it’s been sat at my workshop since. There was an issue with the airlift manifold which is away for warranty repair or replace.

I reckon I’m going to stick a front mount on it, get it mapped and painted and take it to some shows when they start back up.. try and sell it whole if possible.
