cool mate that was v interesting see how the engines come apart look fwd to seeing the next ones

DeweyAXD

Interesting stuff... Sti Spec D in black? Is that a wrap or a re-spray?

Hawkeye D

My question exactly!!

Hell Boy

No it's not a respray or a wrap, it's one of the very last hawkeyes registered in the UK .... It started life in the fire service or as a copper , I picked her up in 2010 she had been rattled to an inch of her life as you can see but the service history was second to none and have done a few things to her

DeweyAXD

Ahh ok. Technically not a Spec D then? Unless the forces sprayed it?

*Puts his Spec-D nerd specs on.

Not that it really matters cause its a looker for sure and i'd while I am of course a fan of Spec-D silver (well ok 'Grey') I do like a black scoob.

What is the overall plan then?

Wrong boot spoiler too for a Spec D, don't they have the low level WRX spoiler? Looks more like an A Line to me.

DeweyAXD

Yep low level WRX one. I think maybe a few non UK Spec D's may have had this micro spoiler though... noticed it on a couple of 'quoted' spec ds from Scandinavia but they could just be mods with the OE holes filled. Seems a lot of work for that though imo. I do quite like that style spoiler though i must say.

Steviedoo

Don't think it is a spec d (but could be wrong) as if you do a check on the registration number it just comes up as a Wrx Sti type uk and spec d's normally come up as Wrx Sti spec d.

DeweyAXD

All Spec-D or not Spec-D aside I have to praise you greatly on these vids. They are a fascinating watch (especially after my h.g failure and subsequent piston replacement).
Good work for getting them online. Look forward to seeing it all coming together.

Matt23

If I'm not mistaken, that is an STI limited not a spec D. Looks a great car tho.

Hell Boy

this one isn't very PC, don't watch it if your easily offended, plus i get pulled by the cops.


and the debate continues , she is an oddity, black leather interior, black brembo calipers, sat tracking and half a mile of cv cabling that i don't need or want.

Anyhow, thanks for the props gents i hope you enjoyed watching the vids as much as i enjoyed rebuilding my engine.

sorry to hear about your piston replacement dude, as most of my vids show engine rebuilds can be abit of a ball ache.

Hawkeye D

Does it have a silver Spec D sticker at the bottom of the B piller in the driver door shut area?

Hell Boy

Ill have a check mate ....

Hell Boy

right i have had a check, there are no stickers on the inside of the door shut that state Spec D, just a load of Japanese writing .... and i cant read Japanese.... now im confused


either way ...my baby is a beast after this rebuild !

Hell Boy

well after the new yera here is the next vid guys

It's an STi Limited I dare say it had heated front leather seats too which the Spec D doesn't Some UK dealers got hold of a few Euro bound Spec D equivelants which had black brembos etc... very nice all the same

Hell Boy

cheers dude, just 1 thing though it does not have heated seats

STiLtd

Snap!

Yup, a "Limited" - only 25 were available (in black, silver and urban grey).

Hell Boy

That'll be it then ! Guess I gotta change my posts title .... Seeing as you know loads about this dude could you tell me abit more please.

STiLtd

Hmmm.....what would you like to know?

Very similar to a Spec D....but even more "D"! HA HA!

Standard STi running gear, all the differences are cosmetic:-

Little (boot lip) spoiler
Silver Enkei wheels
Black Brembos
Front Fogs
Leather interior
Black carpets
Different colour centre console
Only came in black, silver and urban grey I believe
Only 25 exist, sold through 4 dealers
No heated seats - unfortunately

Hell Boy

thanks for the link and the info..... 25 sold but why go to this extreme with the D'ness i was going to rip the micro spoiler off and stick a "proper" wing on the back but the look has grown on me

so whats the special prize i get for owning a rare car then lol

STiLtd

The prize?


Exclusivity of course!


Personally I really like the extra D-ness....and it certainly gets less (unwanted) attention!

Mine is even more "stealthy" now, as I had the wheels powder coated in dark anthracite!

Hell Boy

I have done something similar... Black Rota alloys makes this car a proper sleeper a d I don't get hassled by the cops ... Well not as much anyways lol

Nice to see someone else on here that has one and could put me o. The right oath to what she was thanks mate, how many are left on the road ?

Hell Boy

only 2 more vids left guys hope you have enjoyed it, please like, comment or subscribe and thanks for all the positive feed back on my channel on these vids and my STI

Hell Boy

Enjoyed watching the videos, cheers for posting. What was the power after the map?

Hell Boy

Your welcome mate, glad to see someone enjoyed these vids .... Well from the standard horses and torques she now delivers 338bhp and 390 flbs of torque .... Admittedly that's the one thing I forgot to put into the vids pmslolrotf , there is more to come ;-)
