Default New to Scooby Net My Spec-C V-Limited (with S204 Added)

Hello Lads,

I am new to Scooby Net and am based I Dublin. I am a << ISDC - Irish Subaru Drivers Club - ISDC >> member for the last while

Here are a few pics of my MY 2006 Spec-C V-Limited







She ran a 12.6 at SSO this year, so is farily quick in std spec

The white wheels are part of her spec as its a Toshi Arai special edition Spec-C.

I bought the car last year from Japan and it has been great since then



Cheers,

Michael
PS Thanks to Andy F for coming to Ireland and doing the remap for our 95ron stupid fuel (no super available in Ireland )

There was only 300 built to celebrate him winning th 2005 goup-n championship

They are a great car, but do not expect any creature comforts, like nice supesion etc

You do get e.w, a.c, e.m which are a novelty on a spec-c. You also get a bigger ball bearing twin-scroll turbo

Cheers,

Michael

Looks cool.

What sort of import rules are there in Ireland? Is it easier to import than over here, or do you have the same model report stuff?

Its allot easier to import into Ireland than the UK, as they are not so strict on COC's etc. But in Ireland we have to pay Vrt which is 30% of the Irish value of the car plus vat @ 21%

So Irish car = Jap price + 10% import duty (into Europe) * 1.21 (vat) + 30% of Irish retail value (which they guess) = RIPOFF

You can see why we buy so many English cars with these tax laws. Only Ireland & Portugal have these laws......

Cheers,

Michael

Stunning car but someone told you porkies about the turbo runs the same VF36 as all the other twin scoll spec c's (with the exception of the RA-R which runs a VF42 )
Keep enjoying her and get a nice panel filter in there

Same size turbo as the normal STI just a rollerbearing version
The VF42 has the same housing as a VF22, bigger turbo basically, comes from the S203/S204/RA-R, got a better top end but you dont really lose much low down which is nice
