having come from rwd m3 im thinking about 1 of these ive been told 0-100 around 8 secs,is it true and are they a trackday ready car?i drive hard btw.m3 0-100 12.5 secs so 8 is fappin quick!!!! i need 1

 

standard 0-100 is about 12 seconds

 

the one ive been looking at is from litchfield its a jdm sti spec c my06.the fella said 0-60 sub 4 secs,is that true.i dont think there was any mention of mods,just there own package

 

8 seconds is not true. The car is fast but not 4.5 cerbera fast.

I'd be suprised if Ian or one of his guys said that?

 

maybe its modded im sure its 350bhp and about 356lbft what do you reckon? how much needs spending to get it sub 10 to 100?

 

Think thats the power output for their type 25 versions. They will do 0 -100 in about 10 secs

 

The difference between 8 and 10 seconds is huuuuuuuuuuuge.

 

this is the page im looking at
http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/subaru_06specc.asp

 

does anyone know what money the type 25 conversion is,myabe i,ll go for that and wait a few mths and get one with a few k on it instead of new

 

I know who you are referring to mate. Ian Litchfield is a regular on here and well respected. He sells good cars and is a good fari guy to deal with.

His spec C doesnt do 0-100 in 8 seconds though

 

Type 25 is late £30's I think. There are not many around and even less with a few K's on the clock for sale.

couple for sale on his site for £28-£29K

 

jappa you have PM

Buy mine,MY 06 STI JDM,(For sale General) its not a spec c or typed 20'd, but it could be !!!

FWIW.... both of these cars (as tested) have acheived the following standard:

SPEC C
0-60 4.3
0-100 11.1

T25
0-60 4.4
0-100 10.6

Regards,
Shaun.

 

so the spec c in standard form is still damn quick then,.
whats the type 20 tuning package i take it the type 25 is making it a 2.5 ltr block.i see on litchfields site it says 2900 +vat approx for type 20 tuning and handling pack,is it worth it and what does that consist of

 

Type 20 upgrade includes

3"Milltek exhaust with sports cat
Performance intake
Uprated twin-scroll turbo actuator
Performance boost control solenoid
Type 25 handling pack inc.up rated roll bars
Type 25 AST 12-way adjustable suspension
STI lip spoiler
T20 rear badge
T20 mat set

 

so in all is just over 3k a good deal or is it better off being done by your self,i suppose its done by a recognised tuner which must be good come resale

 

Get it done by Litchfield and you get a warranty with it, rather than modifying a UK car and losing it.

 

Spec C is a great car and the Type 25 is even better

 

Out of the box its a quicker car than an M3 (E36 evo or E46) as a lot have found out (and thats no poxy uk fuel remap either, proper JDM map and standard exhaust.
Are these powerful?
318bhp and 356lbs of torque on the last rolling road, keeps her about right with loosening up (16k miles now)

Just out of interest my MY06 Spec C with a Miltek exhaust and 'standard UK fuel remap' is over 340bhp and 340ft lbs of torque. (Done at 1000 miles)

This was on BP Ultimate - with Snottymax expect over 350bhp, some are near 360bhp so I hear. I think this will be right once the engine has loosened up a little.

With these outputs expect very low 4s for a 0-60 time and a sub 11s 0-100 possibly even pushing 10s.

To get near 8s 0-100 you would need another 100bhp at a guess.
