yes, asked about this one, but they dont want to export it - worried about loosing all of the rare cars.

yes, thanks - seen this one, and been offered a few others with similar & higher mileage. Was looking for a standard car, in better condition & lower mileage if possible.

Have also considered a P1, RB320 & RB5 - but as these have been in the UK for a long time - cannot find a really good one.

Would consider any of these if in top condition.

I may be wrong, but I think that's a Spec C, not a Spec C Type RA. It doesn't have winglets, the 18" silver Enkei wheels, nor does it have the RA stickers.

Still a very nice, clean-looking car, though.

Sorry, but there's no such thing as a 2003 blob Spec C RA. The RA was only available in the bug and widetrack versions. The carbon wing is not standard.

Sorry guys got mixed up on my model name, there are so many its an original late 2003 Spec C all original and unmodified JDM import, it was brought into the country by Litchfield Imports.

Ive been trying to obtain info on it, i know some years ago you could find old road test reports on the car, I especially remember one where it went up against a Evo,

If anybody could point me in the right direction where i light locate as much info as possible i would very much appreciate it.

to quote the second one (GB270)

"BG products used and now warranty’s the engine for up to 150,000 miles for any engine failure"

- REALLY?

gonna see a MASSIVE upsurge in BG products being used if they supply a Subaru warranty against engine failures...... especially on a 2.5

I have a RA-R for sale, if your really interested let me know.Standard car only add ons are a catback exhaust, turbo timer and a boost gauge(had them on when i bought the car 7 years ago).
P.S dont let my lolcation be a problem. The car was initually registered in the U.K so all import taxes are paid for only thing it would need is a M.O.T and to re-register(correct me if im wrong).

agreed, and also cornering yourself in the hunt for a yellow one, considering you want the rarest, in good condition. I think you need to decide if you are looking for WR1's at 12000K or 22b's at upwards of 70000K. Also given the yen rate, I would have thought Hurst would be worth a visit, at least to see it and talk to Max

yes, i realise that a yellow or blue RA-R (or 22B) will be hard to find - but that's cool - I can wait - It took me 7 years to find the exact R34 that I wanted.


In the meantime, rather than having no Scooby, I would consider a WR1, S203, P1 etc.....and when the RA-R arrives I can sell the 'WR1'.

Ref Hurst blue RA-R. Yes, I've seen this car when in Japan - and could have bought it but really wanted a yellow one - I'm put off now by the price considering the price it sold for in Japan.

Fair play; I was in the same position as you year before last, searching for a specific spec c hatch, no mods, actually hard to find, and a specific colour.
But during this search I became proper ill for the first time in my life, and this brought into focus that I should have been in the car enjoying it, not searching for it for ages. So I guess what I'm saying is that you don't know what's round the corner, so crack on.
When I finally got said dream car, I was very precious about it, wife gave me talking to about enjoying life, and someone on here pointed out that keeping a car low mileage for the next owner is like keeping your girlfriend tight for her next partner.... It's used whenever possible now. One life etc etc
