After driving a R35 GTR for a year and loving it as a everyday car. I want something special to drive on the right day. And still need a manual in my life.

I was thinking of an EVO, as I have not had one. But building an Impreza is a lot cheaper imo.

I had a Classic Type RA V3 running 2.1/GT30 and was savage.

Not sure weather to import a Classic Type R or a Blob/Hawk Spec C.

Will be going 2.1/GT30 setup again. Unless things have changed since I've been gone from the Subaru scene.

Is the RCM rotated turbo setup still the best route to go?

 

Spec c is a great car out the box and is a good investment.

 

wont be an investment as I will be doing a full build and wont be keeping it stock.

 

Closed deck 2.5 will make a 2.1 look like a lag monster and easily do 550bhp and a **** tone of torque

 

May as well buy a standard newage sti if your going to heavily modify then

 

plenty of rolling shells out there so need.

 

not really clued up on the newages.

I was thinking of starting with a spec c as its a lot li already has the quick steer rack, DCCD and also ways a lot less.

What extras does a Blob Widetrack have over the normal blob?

 

Full list of differences of widetrack over an earlier car:
