2005 STi Spec C Type RA
 
Should the above car have AP Racing brakes or Brembos as standard :wonder:

scooby-tc 08 July 2008 08:55 PM

Brembos

scoobytyson 08 July 2008 08:56 PM

Im sure they come with Brembo's as standard

B0DSKI 08 July 2008 08:56 PM

Is the AP Racing setup a optional extra then ? As per the one that PCM & Litchfields have ?

scoobytyson 08 July 2008 08:58 PM

Are u thinking of the Type RAR? they come with 6 pots as standard

scooby-tc 08 July 2008 09:00 PM

APs werent an option on the Spec C RA unless you went out and bought them seperately

B0DSKI 08 July 2008 09:00 PM

Nope Spec C Type RA

Bodski I take it from that your looking to buy one.

shippy 08 July 2008 11:17 PM

I've been keeping an eye on these 2 spec c ra's also, they are bloody nice cars but just can't make my mind up wether to splash out or not:wonder:

I am more swayed towards the Litchfield one even though it has more milage.

One question if anyone know's the answer, is the spec c ra a 2ltr or a 2.5 with the twinscroll turbo?

If you are going for one bodski, then it's a good choise of scoob:thumb:

gussy 08 July 2008 11:23 PM

Shippy the spec-c type ra is a 2 ltr twinscroll with all the sti extras added on if its the white one on litcho's site it used to belong to liam who posts on here as MR RA the car has been well looked after with some added extras.

shippy 08 July 2008 11:27 PM

Cheers for that gussy.

It looks as though it's been well looked after, love the look of it with the prodrive alloys:cool:

Been looking at a different one.

Lets hear peoples thoughts on it.

2005 Spec C Type RA. LESS Than 7k miles. Seller was informed by the previous owner that it had been remapped to c350 Bhp, but no proof that it's been done or by who. Also has no service history, but does have the V5 in the owners name.

Was that the one on ebay that went for 13900 quid?
Had my suspicions about that car, it looked nice but possably had a front end crash at some time, the front lip spoiler was not the original STi item though in the pics its hard to tell if the rest of the car was original, and there was a bent/repaired one out there somewhere :(

Tony:)

TonyBurns 09 July 2008 10:19 AM

This one?

Subaru Impreza STI Spec C Type RA Very Rare 2005 on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 29-Jun-08 11:25:29 BST)

gussy 09 July 2008 11:33 AM

Tony thats the one which has had a bump the front bumper is off a uk version hense the cut outs for headlight washers which the RA didnt have.

B0DSKI 09 July 2008 12:25 PM

This is the one Subaru Impreza STI Spec C Type RA Very Rare 2005 on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 15-Jul-08 06:44:06 BST)

Same seller, same car so it sounds kinda dodgy to me

bluenose172 09 July 2008 12:28 PM

I think he's geniune, but probably doesn't know it's had a front bumper change. As long as the price is adjusted accordingly and the damage wasn't too bad, then I wouldn't be put off.

B0DSKI 09 July 2008 12:32 PM

What put the person off that purchased it from Ebay on the auction ending 29th June??

Gotta be summin dodgy, although no negative feedback??

MrRA 09 July 2008 01:03 PM

The RA at Litchfield's is indeed my old car. The full AP setup cost near £3,000. The car was serviced every 5,000 miles at Powerstation.

The RA going on eBay had a massive smash. Avoid it at all costs.

RLE 09 July 2008 01:21 PM

Think Ian has a buyer in the pipeline for the RA. I was enquiring about it last week as well as Immys at PCM.

The search continues........

Well yes if it is the same one you are thinking of and Liam has just confirmed it(he should know:) ) I would not touch it with a barge pole Tony,dodgey doesnt even come into it more like dangerouse as said earlier someone might have bought it to sell on and hasnt a clue about its history bit like money laundering if it gets passed around its history/past dissappears in time.

Mog 09 July 2008 06:57 PM

Doesn't look like it has the matt black center console either.

gordyra r 09 July 2008 10:55 PM
