yes, asked about this one, but they dont want to export it - worried about loosing all of the rare cars. :cuckoo:

jps2014 16 June 2017 08:31 PM

yes, thanks - seen this one, and been offered a few others with similar & higher mileage. Was looking for a standard car, in better condition & lower mileage if possible.

sherlock 18 June 2017 08:29 PM

Fair one. Good luck with the search :thumb:

Have also considered a P1, RB320 & RB5 - but as these have been in the UK for a long time - cannot find a really good one.

Would consider any of these if in top condition.

Uncle Creepy 27 July 2017 05:18 PM

I may be wrong, but I think that's a Spec C, not a Spec C Type RA. It doesn't have winglets, the 18" silver Enkei wheels, nor does it have the RA stickers.

Still a very nice, clean-looking car, though. :)

plenty 27 July 2017 05:25 PM

Sorry, but there's no such thing as a 2003 blob Spec C RA. The RA was only available in the bug and widetrack versions. The carbon wing is not standard.

Hawk RA-R on ebay:

Scoobysnack12 28 July 2017 04:58 PM

:):)Sorry guys got mixed up on my model name, there are so many its an original late 2003 Spec C all original and unmodified JDM import, it was brought into the country by Litchfield Imports.

Ive been trying to obtain info on it, i know some years ago you could find old road test reports on the car, I especially remember one where it went up against a Evo,

If anybody could point me in the right direction where i light locate as much info as possible i would very much appreciate it.

jps2014 29 July 2017 12:28 PM

back on topic bump.



still looking for a good RA-R.


will consider in the meantime a S202, S203, S204, or a good std Spec C / RA etc - OEM as possible, with good history etc.


thanks

Hi Guys,

Can I have your thoughts on these 2 cars please.

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...xample/7539727

&

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...ow-car/7530471


Anyone know the cars?

WUZ 08 August 2017 12:31 PM

to quote the second one (GB270)

"BG products used and now warranty’s the engine for up to 150,000 miles for any engine failure"

:lol: :lol: - REALLY?

gonna see a MASSIVE upsurge in BG products being used if they supply a Subaru warranty against engine failures...... especially on a 2.5

T5NYW 09 August 2017 09:24 PM

there is a blue hawk ra for 17k fresh import on ebay and if genuine not a bad buy better than a uk 2.5L. imho

Marios555 10 August 2017 09:47 AM

I have a RA-R for sale, if your really interested let me know.Standard car only add ons are a catback exhaust, turbo timer and a boost gauge(had them on when i bought the car 7 years ago).
P.S dont let my lolcation be a problem. The car was initually registered in the U.K so all import taxes are paid for only thing it would need is a M.O.T and to re-register(correct me if im wrong).

hi - thanks for the info.


Yellow is my first choice, with blue second - sorry.


If this changes I will be in touch. :thumb:

jps2014 25 September 2017 08:56 AM

Anyone selling a good std WR1 ?


UK car, so corrosion more of an issue than a fresh import - any good ones out there? ;)

RA-R to WR1 ?? very different motors.

agreed, and also cornering yourself in the hunt for a yellow one, considering you want the rarest, in good condition. I think you need to decide if you are looking for WR1's at 12000K or 22b's at upwards of 70000K. Also given the yen rate, I would have thought Hurst would be worth a visit, at least to see it and talk to Max

yes, i realise that a yellow or blue RA-R (or 22B) will be hard to find - but that's cool - I can wait - It took me 7 years to find the exact R34 that I wanted.


In the meantime, rather than having no Scooby, I would consider a WR1, S203, P1 etc.....and when the RA-R arrives I can sell the 'WR1'.

Ref Hurst blue RA-R. Yes, I've seen this car when in Japan - and could have bought it but really wanted a yellow one - I'm put off now by the price considering the price it sold for in Japan.

hedgecutter 28 September 2017 09:47 AM

Fair play; I was in the same position as you year before last, searching for a specific spec c hatch, no mods, actually hard to find, and a specific colour.
But during this search I became proper ill for the first time in my life, and this brought into focus that I should have been in the car enjoying it, not searching for it for ages. So I guess what I'm saying is that you don't know what's round the corner, so crack on.
When I finally got said dream car, I was very precious about it, wife gave me talking to about enjoying life, and someone on here pointed out that keeping a car low mileage for the next owner is like keeping your girlfriend tight for her next partner.... It's used whenever possible now. One life etc etc
