Browsing ebay, stumbled across this.

Been holding out for white but quite like the supporting mods on this.

Too many modifications from the standard RA for my taste, it is just another modified Impreza even though it has some nice modifications.
You may as well look at modified JDM STi models as to me the uniqueness of the car has been ruined.

To be honest, that was my first thought. I'm quite keen to keep whatever I get completely standard.
Just wooed by posh looking brakes
Really, yes. I've never really been "that" keen on the blob eye front end. I'd be more likely to go older and get a JDM "Prodrive Style" Bugeye STI.

You might get the odd hawk come up for sale on a normal spec c.
The most recent Spec C type RA in white I saw for sale was by torque GT a few months ago and that is now sold.
Also I thought the TYPE RA comes with the "Keep attacking the Nurburgring" Decals on the door??

A Hawk Spec C is substantially different to a Bug one...most people would be looking for one or the other, not considering both?
Agreed on mods - a true Spec C RA should be kept standard. Not sure this one's actually an RA (should have black console trim not the standard grey).

I'd opt for the bug... mostly because I'm a cheap skate.. but also 20 odd grand in a Subaru is a bit rich for my tastes... even more so when all things considered... there's not £10k worth of 'better car' in a Hawk... IMO of course.

That looked like it was a really nice Spec C Type RA in white.
I know its been asked so many times before but are the normal Hawk Spec C or the Hawk Spec C RA actually 320bhp in Standard like the s203 and s204?

I'm glad you're happy with it mate. I may well live to regret it and unlikely to get another for similar money.
I do think long-term limited edition bugs will probably out pace other version in terms of valuation.
However, I'm quite keen on sticking with a Hawk. If an RA ends up being out of my budget, I'll be happy with a Spec C.

Why would you fit a turbo modified and designed to run at 450bhp and then map the car for only 360bhp? Must be laggy as hell to drive. Seems odd to me. Either make the most of the turbo you've fitted or fit a smaller turbo again. Odd.
Seems like too much money IMO too.
