Spec C to S203/4
Thinking of changing my Spec C for a S203/4. I know a few members on here have had both, just wondering how they compare driving wise/comfort/noise etc ?

Effectively the S204 is a special edition of a STI, and the RA-R is a special edition of the SPEC C.

Look at the location of the car - Adenau!
It's probably had the **** ripped out of it around 10,000 laps of the Ring!

In all fairness with 114000k on the clock it's more realistic to say it's been tyre shreading around TSUKUBA & MOTEGI.

Just what I thought really. I'm not really doing many trackdays anymore, so thought one of the s-series cars might be better and nicer on the road.
Probably be a S203 as the S204 still command silly money

In theory yes, it's a race circuit after all.
Anyway that car is marked as a new import so doubt its been round.

If you do decide to sell the spec c on mate then I'd be interested depending on the details.

Would imagine vat and customs are still due plus £2k to get it registered and I would imagine the reason for sale is he cant register it in Germany. They tend to buy those sort of cars registered here in the UK.

As above..... if that car is £13k duty paid and OTR, I'll run down the ScoobyNet High St. with my tackle hanging out.

Not necessarily, 75k miles on a 10 year old car isn't bad really and I'd say it's been someones daily, I'd be more concerned if it only had 15/20k miles as that's the sort of milage a track slag would cover in 10yrs.
