Spec C owners??
Hi folks, i,m seriously thinking of purchasing a 06 Spec V limited next week, can you owners of them tell me your HONEST opinions on the car please??
Also is there anything i should be watching/looking out for?? the car has only done 13k, has full history etc, took it for a test drive yesterday and i have to say i was BLOWN away by the way these cars handle/feel..:notworthy The car is standard at present too, would it require a map for uor fuel etc? Any help/advice welcome..:thumb: |
Can't really say much, other than, get an exhaust, filter and remap and it will probably be the best car you'll ever own!
|
Nothing in particular to be looking for, just the usual stuff.
If it hasn't been mapped for UK fuel then get it done. I love mine but it is not my daily driver. If I was going to be using it daily or do a lot of miles I'd probably consider a regular JDM as there's very little difference by the time you get to 06 models but it might be easier to live with. monkey :thumb: |
Cheers guys, apreciate that.
Just a quikie, is a remap essential straight away??? and when i do have it done, who would you recommend, and what kind of cost for a map and exhaust??? |
Getting bored of the cossie then staffi :D , Ive had mine for 18 months now with no problems at all and the last 12 months its been running 420+bhp, its by far the best car ive owned

Hello young Northy, now,s tricks matey??? Cossie has gone mate, last week.... Just always liked the Spec C mate and was BLOWN away when i test drove it yesterday..:eek2: dare i say it, it felt considerably better than the Evo did, handling is something else Rob...:notworthy |
Rob, so have you changed the internals for your power and who do you use for mapping, servicing etc??
|
The remap isn't essential, just run it on 99 Ron fuel and it'll be absolutely fine, but you're better off with a remap. You shouldn't need to touch the internals for 420bhp.
|
Im still on standard internals and even the clutch is holding up ok although it doesnt like the Nos and launch control on :eek: Richard Bulmer from Tractive does all the work on my car

Best impreza I have ever owned does everything it says on the tin you wouln't regret buying it.Check with the previouse owner if it has had a remap for uk fuel.
|
Staffi,
An EVO and then a Cossie and now your back to the real world and buying the car you should of bought in the first place!! :D Buy one and then make it go and handle better! ;) |
Another
How many cars have you owned,
Start modding it mate, Spend thousands on it, Then sell it to somone else:luxhello: :lol1: Really pete, They are a top car mate, The handling is fantastic, defo better than my evo, |
lol and there was me thinking about selling the Spec C and getting a IX GT. :eek:
|
Shaune,, A 9 gt or 9 rs wouls be a good starting car, No ayc,
I put an evo 9 rs very similar to a spec c in alot of ways, You can get the 9 upto 420bhp very easy with little mods |

If all you're going to do is remap it, at least stick a free(er) flowing air filter in it!

just how easy are these to use as a daily driver?
i'm getting tempted into buying one of these, but it'll be my only car and i like my creature comforts a bit;) so is it a pain with less soundproofing etc? one other thing, which spec/model comes with air con and leccy windows? sorry for the hijack staffi:) seems to be a bit of spec c knowledge on here! |
Scoobytysons has got the elec windows and air con, Its a my05 wr,,
Pete, I hope your new purchase is white |
