Contemplating Scoob number 3, but..
Sold my modded blob wagon last year for a diesel Audi and predictably I'm now bored. My first scoob was a classic so now toying with a hawk WRX wagon. Now I don't know much about the 2.5s but do remember the odd horror story about engines, so, can someone put me straight on whether it's a good idea to go Hawk, what to look out for and what to avoid?
Cheers in advance..

Plenty of threads about 2.5 lumps gong bang due to head gasket, and oil pick up I think, there a bad engine unless there forged around £3k for a decent forged engine, so bear that in mind.
Personally,I would stick with a 2.0 ltr.
If you want hawk then either get a 2.0 JDM or get a cheap blob and change the front end to Hawk.
The people in the know will be along soon to tell you about all the horror story's of 2.5
