Simon_ Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Alright guys . Have a new motor brought over from Japan. The Subaru Wrx SPEC C Loving the new motor . Have had for couple month now and still going to keep it. 60k on the clock Nice tasteful upgrades. 18" Advan racing alloys Front and rear grooved disks Zero sports body kit Varis carbon fibre bonnet. Bride bucket seat Hks evc (boost controller) Cusco adjustable coilovers with electronic dampening controller Sti genome dials Tein strut brace Cusco oil catch can Hks induction kit Carbon fibre rear wing Blits nurspec exhaust system ( have put decat exhaust on it now also ) turbo timer GFB Adjusted Dump valve Tow hooks Think that's about it. Want to get it to Andy Forrest to check the upgraded BHP and maybe see what can get it safely upto. Seems to be a great engine and a good purchase as it's not used oil or water etc . Oil is still nice n golden fresh also so seems to be running well . Any help with upkeep of this motor and where to go for parts n help etc be appreciated Cheers folks 1
Tidgy Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Andy Forrest wont be able to check the BHP as he doesn't have a dyno, bear in mind they are only estimated figures anyway. as far as mods go there's a pretty long list and any subaru specialist will be able to get parts for them.
Simon_ Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 Does he just do the tuning then mate as I'm not quite sure . RA Motorsport in perth be able to help.

Simon_ Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 Yea ? No the people here into Motorsport and cars as there used to be probably. All these places are fading away it's a shame. Anyone know any good places for wrapping bodywork and what about dipping. Anywhere that dips parts and that these days ? I'd do it myself but with s spec C not easy to find every part easily. Even simple things like replacement gear surround/ Stereo surround etc etc
ROSSCOSM Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Dynatune in eastkilbride might be able to help ye mate
Simon_ Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 Cheers mate I've not even heard of them so will deffinatly check them out ! Cheers. Why I came on this site. Got good info and that for my Hawkeye when I had it. 1
Simon_ Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 Anyone ANY idea where I can find a front end for a sti Spec C ? Maybe other styling products too ??

Simon_ Posted August 18, 2019 Author Posted August 18, 2019 I get away with a 2006 hawkeye model and strip the front end off that. Wonder if that would fit. My last impreza I still have 2006 wrx Hawkeye. Same lights and looking bumper as Spec C. This a direct replacement then ?

Tidgy Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 wrx wagon is different front wings so not sure on the bumper alignment

I've spoke to a few breakers where there saying it doesn't fit. But looks pretty similar to me. Tbh guys I have a 2006 wrx Hawkeye. Well I own it at the moment until insurance know what there decision is. Anyway that another problem... Yea . Anyone have a sti Hawkeye front end where u could try and fit it. Obviously if it fits it like to take it off your hands if anyone has spares. I'd need to physically change it and see I think eh. Would need to be Hawkeye and close too 2005 as possible ...
Simon_ Posted August 18, 2019 Author Posted August 18, 2019 Thankyou folks much appreciated 07525406402 Heres my contact number. Ready to buy a front end asap if possible.
Tidgy Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Yep. saloon wrx and sti are same, bumper, bonnet, wings etc. Wagon is def different wings so i'd guess the bumper may be different
Simon_ Posted August 19, 2019 Author Posted August 19, 2019 Great. So I just need to find a Hawkeye front end and that'll be much easier than having to whittle down to a Spec C bumper. Glad there all the same will make life a lot easier for me. Thankyou folks much appreciated 07525406402 Heres my contact number. Ready to buy a front end asap if possible.
