Information on S202 & Spec C
Just wanted to know if there any decent guides which show the full specs of the above, such as weight, power etc & the code that identifies them.
Thanks |
S202 is a stunning car:
http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evoc...u_impreza.html Cannon Fodder posts on here & had one. TX. Edit - which Spec C though as there were many of them over the years with the spec changing all the time. Older ones are more hardcore than newer though ... |
The S202 it was based on a wrx sti type ra spec-c s202 made its debut on 7 may with sales starting from 3 june 2002 it has a highly tuned engine and a modified ecu, silicone intake ducting, a special titanium exhaust system 5kg less an aluminium oil cooler mounted behind the front number plate. and came with pillow ball suspension links at the rear 17" rays 10 spoke alloys projector headlights carbon rear spoiler black seats special door trims and center console blue guages and a numbered plaque limited to 400 in yellow white blue or black
|
Did someone call? :D
Without a doubt and in my humble opinion the S202 is the best and most hardcore newage bar none (perhaps bar the Spec C RA-r it was based upon), the acceleration even in standard form is brutal. The handling is superb and the car just grips and I only ever found it's limit in the wet when coming off the throttle and then mashing it to the floor; you could easily drift the car using this technique and could be easily corrected by coming off the throttle. ;) I had what was believed to be the only black S202 (242/400) in the UK, I loved that car and tbh if I could have afforded to have kept the S202 and bought the Spec C I would have been very happy. :( The call of the twinscroll was too strong but if I had the chance to have another S202 in the same condition as my old one then I would jump at it. ;) My S202 unfortunately is no longer with us as the new owner wrote it off after 2 weeks. :cry: |

Thanks for the replies.
Quite abit there that i didnt know! Is the S202 twinscroll? Also im under the impression that they weigh 1300kg & 2002 models have electrics? I searched online but could not find any useful links. Any ideas on what turbo they use & how much power output they make at x Rpm? |

They are singlescroll. On paper they weigh 1330kg. Electrics? Don't think so, like Cannon Fodder said, it is probably the most hardcore newage STI bar the RA-R. It's mostly mechanical, it doesn't come with DCCD. Hell, it doesn't even come with airbags!:eek:

If you are thinking about getting one then make sure it still has the standard wheels (around £3500 for a new set) and exhaust system (the titanium silencer is over £1500 for a replacement). :eek: A real 'classic' newage. :cool: |
Think that all sums it up for me. Many thanks for the help.
The one im after is fairly stock but has compromotive wheels instead. Would have prefered it totally stock but never the less its something i want. One thing that has kind of got my attention is the 'no sound deadining' how bad isit from inside the car? Im not to fussed about the cd player as i prefer to listen to the flat 4 :-) |

They do come with electric windows and air conditioning but as said no air bags but it has the best seats in the Impreza range (S203/204 seats only fit a Japanese / 12 year old girls frame). :lol1:

It's sad to hear the demise of such cars in the hands of over ambitious drivers. :( The seats are far superior to the standard newage STi seats as they are more moulded into the shoulder area and really help hold you into the seat. If I could find a set at a reasonable price I would throw the STi seats in the bin and fit the S202 seats. :) A link to the car just after I bought it https://www.scoobynet.com/album.php?albumid=3393 After that I had the wheels fully refurbed back to new, the paintwork deswirled/sealed, and it literally looked as good as new. :) https://www.scoobynet.com/wales-26/8...pcad-pics.html https://www.scoobynet.com/wales-26/8...-detailed.html |

I could not fit into either the S203 or S204 seats due to the fact that you have to be quite 'slim' in order to fit into them. :lol1:

I am cheesed off with myself as I was in two minds as to whether to sell it or not. :wall: A link to the car just after I bought it https://www.scoobynet.com/album.php?albumid=3393 After that I had the wheels fully refurbed back to new, the paintwork deswirled/sealed, and it literally looked as good as new. :) https://www.scoobynet.com/wales-26/8...pcad-pics.html https://www.scoobynet.com/wales-26/8...-detailed.html Did he drive it into a tree or down a ditch or something? I saw your detailed pictures. The car looked really good! :notworthy The PCAD pictures were new to me though. But i still prefer the original projector lights and Rays wheels. |

ive the pleasure of currently owning a Spec c type ra.
its got no electric goodies and weight saving measures on a stock model include, no underseal, no AC, no cent locking, no elect windows, no front subframe, no rear spoiler, 1mm thinner glass, lighter panels all round, no skirts, thinner carpets and sound deadening. Mines a twin scroll but have been told specs on these may vary as they used up whatever bits they had lying around in the factory on these cars! The Blob Spec c models were added with extras by some Mian Subaru dealers when they were imported.Tthis was done because they struggled to sell them to the general public without creature comforts fitted. |

No it's not an S202, it just had the grille badge. :lol1:

I knew you'd have known better than to do that to a S202. :D I guess i should really start reading instead of just looking at pictures. :lol1: |

Top Man - Congrats on your new Purchase!

Thanks for everyones help, highly appreciated. I'm over the moon with the S202. A few things i will change later on to replace its original form but for now a time attack style splitter will do, HID kit & a tow hook in red. :luvlove:
Here is a pic but not the best: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3615232_n.jpg |
