Hello to everyone!
Here my "new" little Impreza Spec C. Bought it 2 weeks ago and now in Italy with me.
She have very low miles, only 26.000, and totally standard apart 17" alloy wheels, Apexi boost meter and an STI Genome front strut bar.
Presented in original white, spoilerless, WRX brakes, N/A Sport seats, but with Air Conditioning and 4 speakers radio.
Used mostly on the road in Japan, with all the stamps on the service book.
I have only the advert images because here in Padova it's raining all days from when I came home and I can't wash her and make some good photos.
Want to memake the first update tomorrow when I receive the first package from Germany
Stay tuned!

It's about time someone bought that one. Won't take much to turn that into a great car

 

Here it is! From Germany with love




Recaro box with Maru (the cat)

 

And here, after some hours, finally installed! I'm in love with my new seats!

My new Recaro Pole Position (ABE) in Nardo black / Artista black





Here you can see the M2 Motorsport seat rails (identical to the Buddy Club Low Down Rails)

Very cool car, what are your plans for it?

 

Make some little modification ad enjoy it..and in few years restore it to the best as I can and keep for many years. Next week will receive Bilstein B14, Inox Car back box, 18" OZ superleggera alloy wheels and 355mm disc with AP Racing 6 pot front brakes!

 

Great car! Makes my MY07 17" Spec C look almost luxurious.

 

And now the back box is installed, a bit more sound, but nothing compared to the ones that you can put without police problem in UK.
Here when I bought it last week



And then afer some hours of polishing






Now it's raining, but next days I'll make some photos and a little video of the sound

 

I also have the motor sport blob spec c same as yours which I bought a cupple of years back via sva In Dover.....
Came without most bits due to it been a Motorsport version and have had to build it up over the years and now running around the 420 mark with id850 injectors and a lm420 twinscroll turbo + all other supporting mods

I will be keeping a eye on the thread with great interest to see how you progress and if you need any info will try my best to help you out

 

Had seen this motor for sale & have seriously considered buying it.Very nice car fella.For me one of the best cars Subaru ever made.Proper car!

 

Maybe I will contact you if I have some question, I know this version is not diffused as other Spec C

I followed the ad for some months, hoping no one have bought it. Finally I decided to buy this beautiful car (not perfect, but very good)

 

Here 2 pics of the car (and one of the catback) with the 17" wheels, waiting for the wheel nuts for install the 18 OZ Superleggera

A little preview with stock suspensions and OZ Superleggera 8x18 ET35 with 225/40 18 tyres

Yesterday I made a little mod to level out the lights between the cluster, the radio and the HVAC control
They are just 2 led (T5) to change, easy mod but I prefer all red!

 

Awesome bit of kit! Do like these 16" base spec cars.

 

Some new upgrade to my topic
I've changed the stainless steel shims and the screws for the back Brembo caliper

and a new seal kit from brembo/subaru

After rebuild the calipers was painted in the same red of the fron AP Racing and this is the result

And here the front 355mm BBK from AP Racing

also a 2.5” stainless steel exhaust centre section

and a quaife modified gearknob [wink]

 

Today I was thinking about the weigh of my car, so I went to the nearest weigh house and here the bill, 1340 kg



With:
- about 20 liters of fuel (circa 14 kg)
- full intercooler water tank (other 11 kg circa)
- full wiper washer bottle (other 2 KG)
- space saver wheel with crick (other 18 kg I've read here)
This mean the weight will be about 1295 kg..not bad, but I can make something better in the future.

 

Here some sunny pic

 

Coming along well. What else is planned?
