I saw that, read the comments, rolled my eyes and moved on. Pointless trying to add to that conversation, they are all idiots.

There are some half decent groups on Facebook.

The "2003 Spec C RA" is a typical example of someone who wants it to be an RA, and doesn't want to dig any deeper for fear of finding out that they're wrong.

Do Subaru actually have a website with cars they've produced historically, even in Japanese? It's quite confusing even for the enthusiasts.

I've seen that on my bookface feed, and he's wanting £12-13k for it, says that's what they go for

Another Facebook expert giving out Subaru advice like a tuner!..............He claims his car in the pic is making 320bhp and 440ftlb. He downsized the intercooler from a Newage STI one for more torque and didn't want to go FMIC because they lose power.

There's a thread on there started today by a fella in a v1 WRX saying hesitates at 4k. There are 40 comments from people telling him to dick about with his catalytic converter. I told him to check his coil packs and he's immediately found a cracked one.
It's a worrying state of affairs when I am giving better advice than its members lol.

The fact that they never made a 2003 Spec-C RA is usually a good argument, In fact the 03/04 Blob(pre widetrack) was the only year they never made an RA

Can you tell by the chassis number?
Mine is a 52 plate Spec c Gravel (16) edition I think.

We don't go into details in relation to banned users, but this was not the sole reason for his ban.
