@nzmarco The Bugeye! Wicked cars and they have the unequal length manifold so you get the burble! We have a JDM STI Ltd on the channel so check it out 👍
Great video, New sub! 06 STI was always one of my dream cars and I FINALLY bought one, all stock from an older gentleman about a month ago! Been using it as my daily and I’m completely in love!
I always wanted an STI but I ended up with an 07 WRX for 5 Grand 3 years ago. Recently I just bought an iag stage 2 short block. With the price of STIs I figured I can have a fully built WRX for the same price as a stock STI
But then you still don't have the 6sp tranny, axels, brakes etc. Ends up costing a bunch to get all the things & do all the work. Good to have a donor sti then
@@granturismo4000 you will most certainly love the Scooby. The JDM feels like it revs quicker (twin scroll setup) and obviously sounds different to the UK! Let us know once you have picked it up 👍
Hi Love your channel and you seem a good guy. I'm looking for Hawkeye 2005-2007 Impreza STI (JDM) Would you say they would be pretty much rust free if not in UK for long? How is the drive, quick acceleration? Strong,? Punchy? Quick Acceleration low down with NOT much Turbo Lag? I'm assuming a very appreciating Asset Thanks Richard
Thanks Richard, really appreciate the kind words 👍 If they've been here a short time then they'll practically be as good as a fresh import if they've not been heavily used in the winter months. The JDM and UK cars do have a very punchy feel especially if they've been remapped but the UK do sound better due to the unequal length manifolds. There's virtually no lag low down but JDM does feel stronger and are generally stronger unless you try and run big power. The JDM cars will most certainly hold better value so get one whilst the prices are slightly down 👍 Feel free to drop us a message/email if you need any help 👍
Definitely, just the last 6 months has seen a massive increase in prices. Unfortunately as a buyer they are getting to the unaffordable stage for some 😒
Hi mate, the blob/hawk is a more 'raw' car and more driver feedback. I personally prefer them but the hatch makes a great daily and all round car. The hatch is more of a 'modern' refined Scooby compared to the previous models 👍
@@PerformanceLifestylesthank you so much man! and final question, do you think the hawks are worth the several grand they are over grbs? i’m looking to bid for one and grb sell for around 1-1.1m and hawks are a bit more
Bro I bought a Hawkeye sti jdm from auctions, thanks for your advice. It has a lot of sick parts like varis carbon fibre hood and trunk, voltex front bumper and diffuser and side skirts , hks titanium exhaust, etc
Thank you for watching the video 👍 we hope you enjoyed it.

I have the 2001 JDM STI sedan and it has the rumble. Same colour scheme. Love it.

Thanks mate 👍🙂 did you buy a UK or JDM? Both are very good and capable cars, I'm glad you like it. Ping us a photo across on Instagram 👍
Great review and presentation, and love the Impreza too!
Thank you mate, I really appreciate the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the content, plenty of Scoobys on there!

The engine upgrade will make a massive difference, get it in 👍

Love the video dude. I love the impreza, one of my favourite cars, always wanted a classic impreza. The noise is so iconic isn't it. Good review.
Thank you for your kind words 👍
The Impreza STI is an incredible car in any form but the JDM just feel that bit special 😎
The noise is pretty 🔥🔥🔥
New sub, found you through a mutual love of JDM imprezas :D :p
Thanks mate, take a look at the other Subaru Impreza videos too 👍
Keep the amazing videos coming! Looks a lovely 2...
Thank you for the kind words 👍
Just about to get one of these import STI’s very excited :-)
You will love it mate. Have you had a Impreza STI before?
Not owned an STI or plain WRX before but I have driving a few of them though, but all UK cars, current own an 06 Outback.
@@granturismo4000 you will most certainly love the Scooby. The JDM feels like it revs quicker (twin scroll setup) and obviously sounds different to the UK! Let us know once you have picked it up 👍
@@PerformanceLifestyles will do, yeah I keep seeing that the imports are always worth much more than the UK models and just better all round.
@@granturismo4000 a JDM STI is definitely worth that bit more than a UK car so a safer move too. Generally speaking, it will be a stronger car 😀
Thanks for your reply back
Awesome
Thanks mate 👍
Great reviews man. You deserve more subs
Thanks mate 👍
Getting there 😁👍
Great review mate.
Thanks mate 👍

Its a great lump 👍
Very informative

Top review
Thanks mate 👍
My fav. Hopefully I'll be abe to get one myself...
Yes hopefully, they are absolutely great cars 👌
@@PerformanceLifestyles been on my bucket list for a while now, but prices went absolutely mental once these became importable...
Thanks!
Front windows could use a tint, to have it match better. Looks funny
I think a lot of JDM cars generally just have the rear tinted windows 😁
am trying to wonder if i should sell my gc8 and get one of these
@trevinogodfrey8002 what GC8 do you have?
these cars just keep on getting expensive....damn!
Definitely, just the last 6 months has seen a massive increase in prices. Unfortunately as a buyer they are getting to the unaffordable stage for some 😒
Almost identical to mine ....
Great cars, especially the JDM variant 😎
Lancia & Audi
hey mate, how does the blob/hawk ej207 cars compare to the grb hatch sti? which do you prefer and recommend?
Hi mate, the blob/hawk is a more 'raw' car and more driver feedback. I personally prefer them but the hatch makes a great daily and all round car. The hatch is more of a 'modern' refined Scooby compared to the previous models 👍
@@PerformanceLifestyles thanks so much man! And stock for stock would you say the blob/hawks are faster?
@@shadow36057 I'd say they are almost identical, just a case of comfort over raw feel 👍
@@PerformanceLifestylesthank you so much man! and final question, do you think the hawks are worth the several grand they are over grbs? i’m looking to bid for one and grb sell for around 1-1.1m and hawks are a bit more

Didn’t they all come 2.5 turbo?
Most UK Hawkeyes are 2.5 apart from a very few of the early cars which were 2.0. All JDM are however a 2.0 and generally known as the better car. 👍
@@PerformanceLifestyles interesting, thanks 🙏🏻
@@xxisawthug no problem 😊
I have an 06 I’m so confused is it 2.0L turbo or 2.5?
if its a jdm its 2.0
Those seats are designed by recaro
Thanks...everyday is a school day 😎👍
Fat 🔥
Cool. Got to have jdm 5door sti
Yeah man, awesome cars! We have a few Scooby videos on the channel so feel free to check them out 👍
