Naughty But Nice JDM STi Goodness
 

So I had the chance to buy an STi aftermarket accessory oil filler cap for my Blobeye Spec C Type RA, of course it won't do anything for the car other than remove the yellow oil cap and replace it with genuine STi engine bay bling. :D

Not cheap, but there again the best things never are. ;)

This is the same cap I had on my Forester STi as well. :)

Lovely :luvlove:
Just needs a matching dipstick now.
Dare I ask how much it cost?

I imported 3 of them about 2 years ago, 2 were for other owners. One of them never got used as the car ended up having a dry sump fitted, so I got it for lower price than I paid back then.

When I bought the 3 it worked out at about £195 for them all, that included all shipping, handing charges robbed by Royal Mail and duty incurred.

Not cheap I know but I paid less than the original £65 when I bought it back. :)

Very nice, it's the little details that make a great car :thumb:

Brought one of them back from Japan in 2013. Only fitted in a few months ago :D

I totally agree, just a few choice details can uplift an engine bay with overpowering it and taking it too far away from standard. :)

That's slow going even by my standards, and I can really drag a job out believe me. :lol1:

SUBSCRIBED!

Plus import tax and duty :(

Lucky then that I paid less than that, I think today they'd cost closer to £80 each to bring in individually. And that's where I got the 3 from when I bought them.

That's where the stinger is unfortunately when buying parts from outside the EU and even that will be changing before not too long as well.

Nice :luvlove:
you'll need one of these to compliment it if you not got one allready :D

One of the lads in the club has both items on his forester they look nice together :thumb:

Don't tell me there's a matching dipstick I don't know about bro! :wonder:

I had one of those on my Hatchback STi and Forester STi, unfortunately I'm not sure it'll look so good on the small battery used on the Spec C.

Last time I checked they where only available for the smaller/lighter spec c battery's as I fancied one but not available for my std size battery only available for brz/specC correct me if I'm wrong and if available please put link up as I fancy one of them sti battery clamp/holder :thumb:

Please see the pics below, one shows my Hatchback STi and the other my Forester STi.

Now that's what I would have along with the oil cap :luvlove::luvlove:
but can't find them for std size battery anywhere at all where did you get them from? I can only see the listed ones for spec c on tbay checked Japan parts aswell no joy :cry:

Those are standard sized batteries, the clamp fits standard sized batteries. :)

I am in no way arguing with you mate honestly :notworthy but the ones listed say they won't fit the std size unless they've stopped making them now :confused:

The standard non Spec C battery is 173mm wide and about 232mm long, it's the width that is the measurement to take note of.

The eBay link above lists the clamp width as being 173mm, so this clamp will fit the standard D size battery used in the Impreza.

Just measure your battery's width just to make sure that you've not got a larger sized battery that the clamp won't fit. :)

I prefer making my own :)
