Be most interested in, until I put up this thread I thought it was one or the other
But I guess there like hens teeth so may have to settle for a spec c unless
Something comes up....

Hi chris.... Thanks for that little read :thumb:

I'm still wondering about my previous question though Will this car be single or twin scroll would u be able to say ?

All JDMs are twin scroll as I understand.
The only reason you'd need to be concerned is if and when you come to change up-pipe, exhaust (turbo back?) or turbo. Otherwise simply enjoy the extra performance. :D

I just couldn't live with a bug tbh... I no they (s202) hold value but
The bug although some people love is just not for me...

I would consider a hawk but the higher tax band is a killer

I love the look of the blob which is why I'm now looking in to whats out there
T20 /25 Spec c widetrack blob

What to do ....lol

Not necessarily.
Hawks (anything) reg'd before March (23rd?) 2006 are exempt.

My T20's £280pa.

However, a T-Hawk is way above what you say your budget is unfortunately.

Litchfield/Powerstation did a Type 20 and a Type 25, hence slims comments about the engine differences.

IMO, there's nothing special about the Litchfield conversions, it is like slim says a few bolt ons that you got charged a premium for at the time. They are all getting a bit long in the tooth now, and turbo's etc have moved on considerably in the meantime.

Have another look at my post 19, I thought that cosworth weŕe involved with the blob type 25 but having re read the info I realised it was the hawk type 25 that cosworth had a part in the development of.

secondly I say the type 25 is a good option if you want a car thats already been done for you, the alterative is a car that has been modded my joe bloggs that won't hold its value quite the same and may also be a bit dated as you say like the type 25 is.

its the hawk that is 2.5 in uk spec, jdms are still 2.0
personally i wouldnt bother paying the premium for a litchfiled car as its just a few bolt on items which you can do yourself, i know you will get the "turn around touch the ground its the best car ever" comments but its really just a standard car with some coilovers and a few other bits.

obviously the difference between the t20 and t25 is one has a 2.0 engine the other a 2.5

Not sure what a "litchfiled car" is (anyone know what a 'litch' or 'litchfile' is?)
I'm guessing that 'fat-thomas' suffers the same spelling mistakes as the posts. Possibly should be 'Fatuous Thomas'.

As in "its really just a standard car with some coilovers and a few other bits."

What coilovers;
What "few other bits" ?;

Exactly.

5th Gear, Total Impreza, EVO on-line and possibly lots more were interested - and impressed - enough to feature it.

Oh - and has anyone ever described a remap as a 'bolt on item you can do yourself' ?

Op - check out the "Type 25 Build Number 20 (2004) thread" and pm any owner there. They'll tell you whether personally it was worth 'the premium'.

And remember, one person's "wouldnt bother paying the premium" could also be the same person's "can't afford to buy one".

Don't let the bolitics of envy stop you seeing for yourself.
A test drive will give you the very best insight, not just an owner, and certainly far more than someone who possibly hasn't even been a passenger in one.
