There's 1000 out there, (maybe a few less by now!) if your one of them lets see them on this thread along with Build number.

Here's mine Build No 566

 

Stunning

 

Fella that is a stunning motor you have got there and what a shine.

 

pretty

 

Looking good, what wheels are they dude?

 

Thanks for the comments
Wheels are Rota Torques in bronze 7.5x17 (42 offset withy 10mm spacers on rear) with 225/45/17 Eagle F1's. (Rear arches, rolled & pulled)

 

Very nice motor you got there Rick!

Just curious, how different (in power delivery, handling, feedback) does it compare to your hawkeye Spec C?

 

It doesn't........

 

I like the Type R for what it is, but the two are completley different, there are hardly any similarities IMO between the two! I dont want to rave on about how good the Spec C was in almost every aspect, but its only now that I full appreciate how good it actually was. (now that its gone )

The Type R being smaller, shorter wheelbase, lighter, is more old skool in its approach & is also great fun. I do enjoy occasionaly throwing it into rounabouts & holding the back out & slow speeds. The Spec C would take a lot more speed & aggresive driving to bait it into getting the back end out for a bit of fun. The TYpe R is a bit of a "mallet" compared to the finely designed "chisel" of a Spec C, but I somehow find the TypeR more fun to drive on road, the same probably cant be said on track though where the Spec C really came into its own.

 

Looks very nice

 

Looks spot on Ricky, what are / if any differences between the type r and wrc limited, engines / chassis wise or is it just subaru's normal thing of giving a car a build number and different coloured seats and calling it a special edition lol

 

After owning 4 classics ,I always wanted a version 6 type r wrc as my next one. I was concerned that they are 10 years old now so I bought a 05 Jdm Sti. In an ideal world I,d have both of them.

 

Thats pretty much it Stevie, blue seats, digi odometer, blue dash inserts & whitge clocks, maybe a longer 5th gear IIRC. Just the last run out 1000 models of the TypeR.

Dolmite I was also torn between a newage JDM Sti or a Ver6 Type R, I think the next one Il get will be a Hawk or hatch JDM Sti

 

Didn't you just sold your hawkeye Spec C? Why would you get a hawkeye JDM STI next?

Now the hatch JDM STI sounds like a nice car to consider next.

 

Are Type RA's also allowed?



#154/555

 

Nice Type R, your old Spec c is not far from me.

 

Lovely cars... my next buy defo!

 

Very nice. Who done the arch work & how does it drive with 10mm spacers?

 

Alladin, car runs fine on 10mm spacers, hardly notice any difference really, but for a trackday etc I would take them off.

But a warning to all Type R owners, please be very careful when rolling rear arches: A little roll might be ok but if you have them pulled like mine then the whole rear quater panel ripples & flexes as its all once piece (unlike on a 4 door). Which has left a new 22b style pull line across both arches. From some angles it looks spot on but from other angles it almost looks like they have been fractionally dented!

 

This would be the car i'd have if i didn't have my Mk1 Focus rs... Love these Type Rs

 

Beautiful car .

 

I've got no.450 and love it. Had a 02 bugeye before and the type r is defo more fun to drive IMO.

 

Was that a regretted sale then?

 

Yes
But needs must, bought a house!

 

Its a nice motor for sure but as you say if needs must.

Still the Type R is pure joy so its not so bad, I enjoy the feel of a classic more fun for less speed, a little more involving I recon.

 

Their must be more than just the 2 of us on here. It could be more rare than the 22b, my best mate has no.100 I think so thats 3 of them still alive.

 

Jamesae86 has one, so thats 4.
Rarer than a 22b!!! lol

 

Bloody hell Rick, that was a late one was'nt it. My mates turned his into a time attack car so really only 3 of them left so its a very rare car indeed.
Another whem I first got it.

 

NIce

Yeah could'nt sleep last night with blemin tonsiltus, hence awake till 5am!!!!!!!!!

 

nice examples lads i have no 436 will post some pics tomorrow.
