First post on the forum today. Had a few jap cars before and decided that I wanted to go for a subaru.
Does anybody have any links to the difference's between a 2002 spec c and type ra.
Thanks Chris

Hi mate, welcome good choice! Have you got a link of the car ?

Type-RA.com will tell you everything you need to know

Chris14a

Havent got a link at the moment mate will get one. No problem thanks for the info.
It seemed like a well suited car to what I wanted looking forward to a turbo again.

Nice car, I think torque GT are pretty good TBH

I have a hawk spec c, I love it

thenewgalaxy

That's the rawest Newage car ever made, and one of my very favourite cars. VF34 FTW

An excellent place to start with a track car, or keep standard and enjoy!

Might want to uprate the brakes and wheels as a starting point.

The interior will be staying in it as I drive over to the nurburgring and use it as a weekend car (my old track car was a nightmare on the road) but will modify a few bits when money allows as im looking at buying a house so my old car is up forsale but wanted somthing to replace it with the money left.

Im hoping just having a turbo back again will be good and its somthing I have always wanted.

I imagine the hawkeye version is a epic car.

Nice car, good price but that description is not at all correct, doesn't have auto DCCD just manual, twinscroll turbocharger came in the blob eye shape and those wheels are WRX ones and not BBS looking at those pics, also the adjustable redline rev limiter isn't what it's described as, It's a warning alarm that you can set it will not adjust the redline limit, No brembos brakes etc...the description he has out is for the later cars blob eye 2002 onwards

That car was sold and the idea was to try and get some money back from my old car haha.

So can people see what spec is my car going to be as in turbo and will it have a gearbox and engine oil cooler as I wanted it for track aswell as road drving. I know it has the wrong wheels or is it the 16 inch wheel model that somebody has put different wheels on.
Also sorry to sound like a complete idiot but how does manual dccd work then

I was looking at that car myself and would have put money down if it had been the 17" car with Brembos and BBS wheels. It's either a 17" car with those parts stripped off, or a 16" car (the presence of DCCD means it's the latter).

The bugeye RA Spec C enjoys some advantages over later cars, being lighter and with a proper forged engine.

Chris14a

I have been told it dosent have dccd so how does manual dccd work.
So what on that list does my car have as if it is for a later car is mine missing loads.

The more I look into this the more confused I get haha what have I bought. If its a 17inch wheel option with the bits removed im happy but is there anywhere I can find what the full spec should be.

plenty

iTrader: (13)

This link has details of the differences between the 16" and 17" cars.

If it doesn't have DCCD it will be the 17" car. The 16" car had manual DCCD. Only the later cars (not the bugeye) were fitted with A-DCCD.

Chris14a

Cheers for that. Makes life easier. One last question does it have a oil cooler as some things say yes some say no.

There's quite a bit of info on this car here

http://www.type-ra.com/subaru-forum/...-c-dccd.18427/

http://www.type-ra.com/subaru-forum/...-spec-c.18509/

it's a 17" version Type RA Spec C

Looks like a 16 inch if its not got the brembo brakes and really you are better off with one of the twin scroll engined cars, nicer to drive over the bugs.
Also be aware of the RA/Type RA thing, this is a Spec C RA, the ra standing for Race Altered, the Type RA was first introduced in 2004 and that stands for type Record Atempt. On the blobs the RA (race altered) was dropped and they just kept the Spec C part.
