Not seen it pal any good?

Spec C always addresses the problems of the UK car and gets greats results therefore!

I have seen and read the article, great stuff, and a great price too :thumb:

The usual quicker, sharper alot more exciting to drive than the Uk spec. The only bad point is the interior which is poo!

The car was supplied through litcho so I think Ian will have the review on his site for those who have not seen it.

Gonna get the summer months out of the current car, then I will defo be on the hunt ;)

I presume this is the review

http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evoc...ti_spec_c.html

when he talks about "At chassis level, the Spec C has a new rear mechanical LSD replacing the Torsen item on the regular STI" is he relating to the 2008 STI or the newer 2011 spec C suspension jobby ?


Iain has some in great price, my once concern with these imports from my stance is, As i do i use it for company Miles thus claim back 23p a mile as the Uk is 2.5, this 2.0l model allthough its supposed to be good, would cripple a man if used for work LOL, think id only get about 14p GULP i barely break even now, touch that throttle or do 85 and i loose money

esp now fuels rockiting.

But for all you saturday boys its looks great

We have a demonstrator here for those interested :)

We are really pleased with the car, it is good standard but with a few choice changes it becoming especially good. We have spent of time on the chassis and the new car is a big step forward in terms of handling and steering feel.

The car will be featured again by Evo magazine and others ;)

Regards

Iain

Will also be looking to get one of these next year, I'm hoping a year old one will be available at the right price, struggling to find another car that ticks all the boxes like the hatch, I do fancy a change but cannot find anything to tempt me away!

I'd strongly advise a good test drive before going by anything EVO print.

Sometimes their journalists are a little too pretentious for their own good....their opinion of Imprezas seems to change depending on the time of the month ;)

I suppose there's some truth in that but its a spec c!
I personally think the hawkeye is the better drivers car.

I offered them my R205 for a feature as they usually love special editions like the mugen rr they reviewedback in 2008.

Out of interest what is the delivery time on an order for a Spec C Hatch ?

salsa-king 17 March 2011 01:21 PM

Spec C's are so over rated :lol:





330s is the way to go :)

STI Glenn 17 March 2011 01:55 PM
