This is probably a good time to get some quality opinions, Thinking removing the rear spoiler and replacing it with a smaller carbon jobby and have the rims done in black, more of a Japanese street racer look? What u guys think?

Heres a couple of pics from the Ring, the spiritual home of Spec-C's.



My brother is driving in the first pic, then me in the second one. The car handled and performed brilliantly(standard engine), and we embarrassed some seriously expensive stuff. You need to drive the track at least 50-100 times to get the hang of it , but my bro (sad git ) is a playstation expert ha ha.

^ Nice one mate, I bet it gave the Porsche's a hard time!

Flap up, all the way!!

I plan to go to the ring in the summer, did the car miss a beat at all?

Not a beat dude. In fact it performed better than my expectations. You can't see what a car is really like until you've been on a track.

What speeds can you do with the flap open? I'm always worried about it when closing in on 60mph

It's designed to be used on GroupN/PWRC cars, so what ever the top speed of those cars can do, I know I've been well over 100 with mine open. Just don't try and open it above 40-50 or so, it'll take your finger off.

Good question. I do'nt know but it never ripped off thank fudge. I normally open the back windows a couple of inches to let the air flow through which releases some of the strain on the flap.

My vent has seen 140mph and no problems.

Guy-

Would look cool with a more street racer look but i think you should make it low and angry with no spoiler.

Although it's written in japanese, there seems to be something on the underside of the flap referencing 100kmh ... I'd always assumed that it was the speed limit for having it open! I'll keep it open all the time now (rain permitting) & just crack the back windows open a tad. Cheers

As long as you dont opperate it, ie open/close it above 60mph as it will ****** you'll be fine.

Once locked out its plenty strong enough. I fitted mine and like i said it saw 140 without an issue.

Airflow inside the car is pretty awesome at that speed too.

Pic for fun... i wish it was a spec C

Best of look with it. Outstanding!

Only thing I'd do is put a set of Speedline 8x18" Rims onto it as I am a true beleaver in the Group N look! Still unreal!

It would be the near future but not that soon I'm afraid!

I've only bought a ProDrive Style STi because I'm just after getting a house so had to hold off for the moment on getting a newer one but I fully intend to start looking in the next year for something like yours! I just love Black Subaru's and I've owned 3 x Classics one of which was an RA, 2 x Bugs, and 2 x Blob eyes so a hawk eye is next on the cards and I like the spec C most out of all of them!

Fingers crossed when the time comes I'll find one like yours! Thanks for the offer though!

Do that and it'll be even more of a flying maching, i've got the Miltek and it gives good power but itsn't really that loud.
