PT82 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Hi all, newbie here. My name is Paul and I live in Mid Wales. Today I just purchased my first Subaru. Unfortunately it's currently 6000 miles away lol So 2016 was pretty ****, I figured lets make 2017 fun. This begins with a new toy. I wanted something for for track days, euro road trips and The Nurburgring. It had to be fast, reliable, able to take a bag or two and not depreciate like a stone. The finalists were an E46 M3, Evo 9 GT, Impreza Spec C Type RA Blobeye or Impreza Spec C hatch. Well yesterday thanks to the help from Torque GT we bid and won this little beauty. 2009 Subaru Impreza Spec C 19,000 miles from new One owner Hopefully hitting the water in a week or two before it's 10 week journey to the U.K. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Plans are exhaust, filter, and remap which should see 360-370 bhp. Also change the rear lenses for something more subtle. Oh and I'm well aware of the colour thanks lol
Beags Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Nice unusual colour but will stand out. Any mods on it. What does the spec c get u over an Sri. Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk
PT82 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Totally standard buddy. The colour is unique to the Spec C, which is a Japanese market car only, so no U.K Impreza will be this colour. Main difference is a 2.0l engine, not the 2.5l. So stronger engine. Better suspension. Twin scroll turbo. http://www.evo.co.uk/subaru/impreza/6770/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-spec-c
GeoffLeggy Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Welcome Paul! Winning 👍. That is a fantastic car, all the pros and no cons. Wonder if it will arrive to you with the Bridgestones fitted 😀
DDoc Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Welcome. That thing is an absolute beauty! Looking forward to hearing about you first impressions.
Jay762 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Wotcha and welcome - awesome motor you have there, if you are looking for quite a bit of track work consider fitting also an air / oil separator, a sump baffle and whilst you are in there an uprated oil pickup (OEM ones can fail). 1
PT82 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Cheers guys. Hopefully land in plenty of time for Japfest at Donnington, bring on the tracktime!! :)
