Nice spec c. What's it having done?

What are the plans ooooooo do tell

How many people on here have a spec c hatch?
Pt82-yellow
Bonesetter - blue
And you - yellow
Anyone else?

Bonesetter has the poverty spec Jdm
Hatch like mine lol non spec c

Ha, only a cambelt change and waterpump, plus a 3 port boost solenoid and fuel pressure regulator to try and get rid of the great stutter. I've still got your actuator so will ask if it's needed. Martyn originally mapped it, and said at the time that the boost was tricky to control, so I hope it will be a bit smoother with the 3pbs. And the air pump unplugged and mapped out; Alan said blanking off was pointless unless the engine was out for something else.

Oh, I've got a caik as well, but unsure whether to fit it after others experiences; but Litchfield used one on their cars?

What fuel reg are you fitting? Perrin claim theirs fixes the stumble but I've yet to fit mine

Cobb do
On as well I went for the tomioka kit at 400 dollars

Ah yes, so only 2 then?

I have a yellow spec c hatch since last week, only taken 2.5 months to get it registered.

ah, the one Darren imported?
Jap Performance Parts bought in a white wrecked one and rebuilt it, and Darren sold a white one with a forged engine( you built it?) to the Whiteline guys in Scotland. Weren't the Litchfield hatches spec C as well?
​​​​​​I think ours took a while to register. Photos are compulsory you know, Paul!

Mark Fey has a silver one

Fuel lab

Ah cool, so all are yellow lol.
Why so long to register it, I've seen somewhere that someone was struggling to register a spec c hatch, is it a problem registering or is it just the process. I know the r205 are on hold till 2 years or so, but the spec c hatch is ok isint it?

What do folk make of the white one hurst cars have got? I can't understand the half painted black on underside if anyone has noticed?

Thing is, I'm looking at importing or buying one next, hence the interest.

I didn't know you could get silver? Thought it was just yellow, blue and white?

Re the airpump, I had valves sticking open, but 2 tanks of vpower (normally use Tesco) and a 220 mile ragging, plus dry weather, seems to have freed the valves.

Defo silver, possibly metallic grey as well. The sunshine yellow and I think pure white were limited colours

Yes its the one Darren imported, I did build the engine for the white one, some of the Litchfields were spec c's not all, I have one booked in for an engine build that is not based on a spec c.


Its waiting to get an SVA test that's a big wait, we got a cancelled one in the end, & there are very few testing stations now.

Very nice . One day I'll be visiting for an engine refresh, as mine is a keeper. Beauty.

I remember when blokes considered yellow cars hairdressers and gaye
Now we lust as they are called Spec C :-)

Nowt wrong with yellow

I have a yellow Integrale I'm restoring :thumb:

Hairdressers car is fair comment, but when a neighbour asks if its an ex DHL company car its well below the belt.

I love the Yellow, as with Hedgecutter and any other yellow Spec C owners, I'm up for a swap anytime :D
Any plans for it engine wise?

Haha I agree lol, wouldn’t buy a yellow car but thats just me, id like a grey or white if it had to be as there isint much choice in the spec c

I think i would be perfect driving it then

No plan to do anything engine wise, other than ditch the cold start air pump system, tweak the map etc, just bore scoped it, & leakage tested, new plugs etc, its all good.


Find a decent audio unit, & the cat 1 alarm system.

When I first posted mine on Nasioc it had red mudflaps, and a bloke called it a Ronald Macdonald car

Americans horsein around in clapped out wrxs

Anyway, the fuel lab fpr that someone sold me from the hatch FB page was`nt suitable. Starting to get a single crack/pop upon moving first thing in the morning, from front passenger side. This has also occurred once when turning left, and once when doing a poor gear change. This front corner has had a low speed grumble when turning since I`ve had it, 22 000 miles ago, and also knocks at low speed, turning. Control arm bushes, top mount bearings and sway bay bushes and links have been replaced, so now I`m suspecting cv joints or wheel bearings, but the new crack/pop is like a spring reseating. The steering is quiet when static , lock to lock, but the steering wheel does vibrate mildly at motorway speeds. Any suggestions?

Phosphor bronze bush in top of strut body?

May well be strut, but hope not, as they are spec c specific
