Sorry to hear about the engine failure, I know about the ring failures on the Hatchback STi's but I didn't think it affected the Hawkeye STi's as well. 
Bloody hell these 2.5 engines aren't up to much are they? Just glad now that my old Hawkeye WRX is no longer with me.
The 2.5 engines are prone to cracked turbo's, ring failures and head gaskets failing, a good reason to get a JDM 2.0 engine.
Which classic are you thinking of?
