Hi guys.

I've recently bought a mint year 2000 Tommi Makinen Evo VI with only 20,000 on the clock:

Back in the Evo fold... My Tommi Mak - Mitsubishi Lancer Register Forum

I've got a hankering however for a Hawkeye STi in either Black or White.

The Tommi Mak is just so mint that I'm almost scared to take it out and it's just sitting in my garage getting waxed all the time! (which sort of defeats the purpose of the car).

Has anyone gone from an Evo VI to an STi or the other way around?

Any advice or recommendations?

Cheers!

 

very very nice indeed.....i havent but id be very tempted to go the other way......

 

Thats looks gorgeous, and would be the only Evo that could get me out of my '555'!

 

My son went from an STi PPP to an EVO IX FQ320 Reckons he would never go back!
I LOVE the EVO VI
That is a classic EVO The only Hawkeye that could possibly ever reach that status is the RB320

S204 RA-R Type 25...

But agreed the TME is a classic.

 

Its a very nice car,but mainly because of the name.A mate of mine has an evo9 gt in white,totally stunning,now his would be worth changing over for

 

Been there, done that mate:

IX GT (Possibly) - Mitsubishi Lancer Register Forum

 

??? black with a rb320 down the side ?????

you have the best looking evo most would kill for her

 

What was the point of buying it then if your not driving it ??? Just sell up and buy the EVO you will drive if thats the car you like? Failing that buy a hawkeye spec C and that will cheer you up a little

 

Some people buy cars to sit and look at them and when they take them out they park in a field somewhere and let others sit and look at it. Why cars like the TME and the 22B were invented.

I don't get it as I like driving, but each to their own.

 

i had a 460 bhp evo vi not a mak but still absolutley mint, but im so glad that i changed it for an 06 spec c kicks the **** out of the evo and you wanna drive it not just wax it

 

I love your old Evo IX GT, what Porsche did you own?.

 

Thats one sweet Evo!

can see both sides of the arguement regarding wrapping it in cotton wool and using it for the purpose it was built for though. If it were me I`d probably use it at weekends in good weather but never commute in it or park it in town, supermarkets etc.

IF its not to rude asking, how much did the brembo refresh cost you?

 

And I love your football team!

I had a Cayman S mate.

 

£248 mate.

 

Thats not bad at all, keeps the originality as well rather then fitting a big brake kit.

 

I'd sell both my kidneys to own that....

 

Cheers for the comments lads.

If any of you know of someone with a mint hawkeye looking for a mint Tommi Mak give me a shout!

 

Agree

As long people are keeping these type of cars out of the scrapyard, does it really matter what they do with them?, I've always fancied a Muira in the front room just to look at!!

 

I must say, the TME looks mint - a gorgeous motor but....that white evo9 looked awesome!

 

I have abit of a soft spot for the evo and think i would prob do same. Looks like u found a little diamond there looks stunning!!

 

having just secured a buyer for my Tommi Mak, I am considering this rather special Hawkeye STi:



What do you guys reckon to this one?

 

did you not like the new m3?

 

Each to thier own i guess. I love them in white, but not so sure about that, especially with the wheels. The TME is such an original looking car, I would get a really nice standard (looking ) hawkeye personally.

 

Sorry, dont like that white hawkeye at all

That white evo IX however is

 

Thats one stunning mak but the same cant be said for the hawkeye i am affraid.

 

i know thguy that is selling this and can vouch for the authenticity of his advert. it IS a stunning car and considering its low mileage, immaculate bodywork and money spent on mods, the asking price is VERY fair. i actually recommended it to a mate the other day who keeps saying he wants a scooby, but says he wants an evo now, think he is a bit of a bollshatter

 

After seeing alternative angles of this car I have decided that it's just TOO modified for my liking.

I am looking for a mint, fairly standard, low miler White Hawkeye but am having trouble finding any for sale.

I have found a 2006 Black Hawkeye locally that seems to be in very good condition at a very good price.

£11,000 and 36,000 miles.

The downsides are that the car has 4 previous owners and has been imported from Cyprus.

 

Firstly European imports are bought in significantly cheaper than UK or JDM cars, so their resale value is not great. Secondly I would say that is way too many owners and the mileage is high for a three year old Impreza.

You need to be looking around the £14k mark for a good example.
