I work on the theory that even a spec c with some safety items removed to save weight would still be a lot safer than most cars from a few years ago, my cossie is 1200kg approx but has no safety gear at all, but am I worried, not really. In a big off you need more than door bars and a front subframe to save you from injury.

No boot light, no door switches (they are all blanked off except the drivers door), you also miss out on other mechanical devices like a remote boot release, some dont even have solenoids fitted to the doors! Some have no electric windows, there are no electric mirrors etc (though mine does, my first one didnt).

i would think these three items would weigh less than half the weight of a passenger.
white spec c has got to be my ultimate impreza though (22b apart)

I put my 2003 Spec C LTD on a weigh bridge and it came in at 1340kg. Standrad it's meant to be 1370kg - due to having a small A/C unit. though it has a miltek exhaust system which takes away 20kg and i removed the spare wheel and emptied the I/C tank
I believe the boot lid was only made lighter on the 2005 model but not before.
As for no sound deadening, i firmly believe it is bonus to be able to hear every corner of the car and every sound from the engine.

^^ That will originally have belonged to someone on here as a few of us had WR Ltd's at one point 
TX.
PS MT54 plate suggests that it came from PCM, send a PM to "juggers" to check.

When i spoke to him he said he had it imported himself with just 5k on the clock. Looks a good example and low miles, so tempted
