Remember, it wouldn't cost much to put a stero in their because it has all the wires in place ( I think) and scoobs are never going to be good on fuel so I wouldn't worry about that.


The only downside is the price which is a bit of a shame. I don't know if the spec-c's are much slower or not, wouldn't have thought so.

anyone know whats the 0-60 and max mph on both cars?

wwp8

i just clicked on but correct me i'm wrong
the t25 is NOT an official subaru car,
its a litchfield converted car?

Harry_Boy

Correct. Uses a 2.5 litre block. See the latest edition of Evo for opinions... Not a limited edition though, as Iain will build you one to order.

Nor is the Spec C a ltd ed.....

so let me think,
litchfield imports these cars (poss jap ones)
rips off the stereo and mod the engine and bits up.

how much would it costs for us to build a car to that spec?

it shouldn't be too late b4 other companies think of the same idea.

how much would it costs for us to build a car to that spec?

why bother when it's already done for you with a warranty? Some would argue it's not a bullet-proof one like IM, but your only option there is a WR1.

Take a japanese spec MY05, convert to a 2.5 US block, change suspension, change wheels & tyres, change spolier, add front lip spoiler, change zorst and get it remapped.

Biggest expense would be conversion and mapping.

Can't think of any other companies with as good a reputation as Iain's that I'd want to import a new car from and have them mod it to bits.

how do you go about insurance as its not an official subaru model?
do you tell them every mod?
might take 30 mins, then to be found out they won't insure it ot its too expensive

For insurance, I'd pop over to the insurance forum and put post up for Rum* (Tom) I think he'd be able to sort something out, but don't quote me on that.

tuscan57

yep as above give rum a call if ya need his number give me a shout altho im sure it will be found here somewhere......

Mog

Most insurance companies I rang knew what a Type 25 was and so wasn't a issue, the best quote I got was £940.

i thought rum has issues of garage, pole on the ground, rottweiler in car, and self destruct if forced in etc.

btw mine costs £1800 and its a basic wrx

I think Litchfieds have a list of insurers who know what the car is, if you're worried about spending 2-3 days on the phone getting quotes.

wwp8

i'm fed up i spent the last 40 mins searching and i can't find close up pics,
int/ext of the car

saw the vid though,
i thought it will have the stickers on the side shame

The T25 looks like any other Japanese-spec STI, that's why you can't find any!

There are optional front and rear carbon spoilers, but apart from that there's just nothing to see unless you count the badge on the back.
