He showed me the piston and the ring had broken in a few places. I got a Prosport exhaust in the end with a sports cat and it sounds great and isn't too loud either. I'm well chuffed. I'll get some good pics up hopefully over the weekend. :thumb:

Does anybody know what colour springs the spec-d has as standard? Thought the Sti had red springs but mine look like they're grey/black.
Any ideas?

Fantastic news, glad you got it back, I'm sure Adam has done a great job as usual!
Have you got it booked in with Andrew Carr yet?

Can I ask how much you got for the springs/ did you sell all 4?

They were complete struts and I only had the front ones, as the back ones had knocking shockers they were left with the guy who fitted the coilovers.
I couldnt even give them away to be honest! I put them in the for sale section on here. There was only one taker and that was after a few days as I put in the listing that I was going to tip them by the weekend!
In the end the deal was he collected in exchange for 8 cans of beer!
Seems ridiculous but I just couldn't get rid of them

Did my Spec D ever make it back on here?

I sold it to a lad off here, but he sold it on again as was on PistonHeads a few months back. Car is in my profile still. I do still miss it sometimes. Great car.

Hi Guys, thought i'd stick mine in here too

Got my Spec D last july, this is my second one I previously had another Spec D PPP which I bought back in December '09 but had a rather nasty accident and unfortunately the car was written off.
Took the car to Scoobyworld for their stage 1 power upgrade and got 340bhp. Earlier this year I went to Powerstation and got their stage 1 handling upgrade.
Nearly a year into ownership and still absolutely loving my motor! :luvlove:

Not got an up to date pic but this is from when I bought it

Got it booked in with Andy on Wednesday so leaving it with Adam on Tuesday night so he can put some thicker oil in and change the filter and also check that all the work he's done is still in order. I'm sure Wednesday day I'm going to feel like a kid at Christmas! :luxhello:

I have got mine up for sale now on pistonheads and ebay for £8750.00. Does this price sound right for a 2006 with 64000 Miles FSH 12 months MOT and 6 Months Tax?

I have now reduced it to £8000 on ebay with no reserve and not had a single call or bid. The Market must just be dead.

Alright guys, can't believe I've never noticed this thread! I got mine in September 2010. Completely standard apart from wheels sprayed Black. You might want to make that 301 Spec D's out there as mine was meant for Malta but first registered in the UK. Got a great price on it at the time. Took it to Prosport near me to have 30k major service (got a major bill to go with it!). To then find that I have compression issues. I was waiting about 2 months for the garage to quote me a price for a rebuild with forged pistons, uprated fuel pump, downpipe and all the other little bits I needed to put her right. Never even rang me back, everytime I chased him got some bulls**t excuse. What a TWOT. So in the end i've gone to Autotecnica in Buxton. He's still got her at the moment as he's had the heads skimmed, putting in drop in pistons, new head gaskets, and putting her back together again. Oh yeah and a Cobra exhaust as apparently the one I have on it now is choking all of my power away!!! I'll be putting a load of pics on here when I get her back. I think the best bit about picking her up is the journey back down the famous Cat & Fiddle road. Here's some pics of how she was before I realised she's a lemon :cry:

Don't want to worry you, but are you sure that is a Spec D?

The reason I ask is that Spec Ds came with no badges other than the Subaru logo front and rear combined with the fact that the number plate is not recognised by my iPhone app. Edit - Just seen the Malta bit but still not sure because if registered in UK I would have thought number plate would be recognised!!

Anyway, another to add to the list - not seen this thread before.

See my Garage for pics.
