Spec c with no roof flap?
 
Made a phone call to enquire about this car
http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/c...c--2005/902727

Asked why it had no roof flap and was told because its a special light weight, must be a rare one then lol
The guy the told me not to buy it and put the phone down lol
Mvm in fife if anyone is interested in a fake spec c lol

barnshaw 10 November 2012 11:18 AM

I cant see any pictures? how do you know it has no roof flap?

**jay** 10 November 2012 11:26 AM

I called up mate, the guy was really rude and seemed to have no clue, i asked about the car and and was told it was a spec c, i said i could not see a roof flap and was told it never had one lol i told him it was not a spec c and got abuse and the phone put down on me lol great way to treat potential customer as i was interested if it was genuine.

bluenose172 10 November 2012 11:39 AM

They have just changed the heading lol its badged as a spec c, yeh heard horror stories about them.

I looked at it, fair enough it's a JDM but it's not a Spec C, those badges are £1.80 off eBay.

g7prs 10 November 2012 12:48 PM

I wouldn't stop there for petrol far less buy a car. ( I live not far from them )

Dan- 10 November 2012 12:52 PM

i would say its just a jdm import not a spec c, still a nice car just the sales team sound like pr*cks so i would look else where :)

juggers 10 November 2012 12:56 PM

Cars a fresh import by the looks of things sow ill most likely be a dog! It's cheaper to buy cars from the UK with the current exchange rate.

RobsyUK 10 November 2012 01:15 PM

There's a blue one on their site as a spec c with no flap

tubbytommy 10 November 2012 01:27 PM

both jdm sti's as they have no roof flap and a rear wiper and also side skirts which the spec c doesnt have.

Photo 10 shows the STi Spec C badges

The Pink Ninja 10 November 2012 03:20 PM

That is a standard 2005 JDM Sti, NOT a Spec-C, Rear wiper and side skirts like tommy says, It also has the I/C spray under the bonnet which is a JDM sti thing as the UK had it in the right boot compartment and the Spec-C has a large 12L tank accross the rear seats in the boot, It also has headlight adjustment which the Spec-C does`nt and they are UK lights in it now not the better JDM hid ones, Probablly changed due to an SVA test.

Midnight Runner 10 November 2012 03:22 PM

Another Keighley you say??!! Thats why I love this site, will save me a possible long, expensive journey up in future as the car looks pretty good in the photo's (apart from the obvious NOT A SPEC C!) :Suspiciou Incidently Keighley have an '02 Bug STi with a Blob facelift: Chequered past? :wonder::lol1:

Tomwrx 10 November 2012 04:06 PM

Mvm are robbing ****es who will sell u nothing but problems and costly ones at that,

Wouldnt ever buy from them ,stay clear,

**jay** 10 November 2012 04:15 PM

Yeh think ill stay away, the guys attitude on the phone was terrible.

DIPSY 10 November 2012 09:27 PM

Jdm Sti has a front strut brace .That does not have it and no high level rear spoiler

mshill 10 November 2012 11:15 PM

my mate has bought a few cars from them and they have all been dogs, recently an evo 5, and head gasket issues within a month!!

They are good at getting finance for peeps with a poor credit rating, and young inexperienced lads who just see the fast cars

stay clear:nono:

wrx fifer 11 November 2012 01:33 AM

i also dont live far from them, and know a couple of guys that have bought from them on our local forum and have had nothing but bother from day one.
my advice to anyone would be stay clear as well

mervil 11 November 2012 12:01 PM

The boot badge should be Cherry Blossom Pink not Cerise too...

bluenosewrx 11 November 2012 09:57 PM

I've been there a few times, unfriendly people and cars are crap IMO.

Noticed they have cars up for sale for ages, aint got a clue what they are selling, and with an attitude like that i doubt ill ever go to have a look at anything.

banny sti 11 November 2012 10:07 PM

Does the spec c not have all black interior not the usual blue/black?

Think some come with the blue, i looked at one a while ago that was up for sale on here and sure it had blue interior.

T5NYW 12 November 2012 12:33 AM

Some Spec C's circa 2003-5 are/were made without a roof flap. This was shown in a WRC homolgation form. But extremely rare and I've not seen one. Possibly because made for WRC use only. The only real way to tell is via model code

Also as said spec c has large IC spray bottle in boot this one in the engine bay

Normally spec C interior is black unless its a vlimited

IIRC

VERY likely a JDM STi
