Just ordered the carbon fibre spoiler, I made a best offer of $425 but they refused that, but they offered $450 instead, so I took that offer and paid up.

Just the import tax and customs clearance fees to come...

I'll be keeping the spoiler all carbon and adding a few carbon details to the car as well plus changing the wheel colour to a dark colour as well.

Hey good luck with the Spec-C. This was my old car before Rich and i did all the mods. Took her to the Nurburgring and she was awesome. Best scoob i've ever owned. Its crazy that you had an S202 as thats what i owned before the Spec-C too. Anyway i hope you enjoy it. I moved to the US last year and the Subaru scene is pretty sparce over here. Wish i could have bought it with me.

Another Rich

Nice to hear from you, sorry the Subaru scene is so pants over there - I suppose you must be driving a yank tank with a 6 litre engine that can't go around corners.

I do miss the 'rarity' of the S202 but perhaps not the looks but having had a look at some pics of the beast perhaps it was not as bad as I thought.

Very shortly the Spec C will be having a power tweak with Bob Rawle plus a few choice mods have been or will be fitted before the mapping session.

I have changed the wheels for gunmetal 6 spokes and fitted a carbon fibre S204 spoiler, I hope to be taking it to the Nurburgring myself next year so it would be nice to know your time to see how mine compares.

I have taken some pics of the car with the cosmetic modifications and the the link is below :

There is just one thing I would like to ask; the Apex coilovers have started leaking on the front pair did you ever have this problem? You can PM me the answer if you want.

I never had any problems with the APEX coilovers, to be honest they were great value for money.
As for driving big Yank tanks, a lot of peoplem over here are finally realising that 15mpg aint cool no more and are switching to smaller 4cyl cars. Im going to get another Scoob next year i think. I have a couple of Suzuki Bandit Streetfighters right now, and i just picked up my permit to carry a concealed handgun, so its all good.
I never timed myself at the Ring cause i did'nt want to push things and crash, but we still went round pretty quick. I practised on Gran Turismo before i went hee hee.

Anyway, all the best and i'll keep an eye on the old girl.
Rich

Hi Rich

Glad to hear you'll be back in an Impreza soon - I'd go for the current Impreza STi saloon.

I think when I go to the ring I'll get in some practice on PGR4, Forza 3 and GT should it ever get released.

Glad to hear back from you - just keep you trigger finger under control out there.

Forgot to say the Spec C will behaving a remap very soon and I hope to see around 380bhp/400 lbs ft torque should make for a good car for the ring.
