Can't stop grinning ...
... since yesterday at about 1pm when I picked up my new car!! Here she is:

The car came to this country via PCM who posts on here. I've got to say that PCM has been fantastic & made the whole buying process great fun. Big thumbs up to PCM & he can count on me to be a loyal customer again in the future.
Here's mine and PCMs Type RA:

As the car is a JDM model it's been a long time coming (placed order in Oct 2006 & got car yesterday) however well worth the wait. The drive home from Manc yesterday was awesome albeit somewhat crippling on the wallet! Filled her up in Manc then had to fill up again before I made it home. Better get used to it though I guess. The car is an absolute hooligan, very easy to go very fast without realising it. As I say, can't stop smiling ... the wife thinks that I've gone mad.
I'm very happy to be a STi owner again & long may it continue.
What do you think of her?
TX.
PS.
MY05 WRX STi Spec C WR Ltd. Rolls of the tongue nice n easy ...
[edit - a carbon rear spoiler is on the way, similar to the one on the S202, that right PCM

Very nice TX
You've got a good example there. Enjoy
Oh, and the carbon spoiler as fitted to the new Type RA-R can bought from Japanparts.com, or do plan on going for original design one as fitted to the MY05 Spec C Type RA.

It's "whet", and mine is well and truly. Been hitting your website regularly since Litcho's sold their RA. Torturing myself really as I won't be in a position to buy for at least 6-8 months, but I like to dream 
Any chance of a test drive
Can't weigh up whether a SpecC is good enough, or a SpecC with Powerstations St.3 suspension package would be any better than an RA

It would only be marginally better. If your going for a Spec C Type RA then you should leave things like the suspension alone as you'd be removing what makes it special in the first place. The STI setup is superb.

corradoboy,
As mrRA says the type ra suspension is more than capable I was in the same dilemma as you when I bought mine but as I only do a few track days a year the extra cost for the suspension didn't warrent me buying the spec-c then adding the powerstation ast set up,it was for me much better to buy the spec-c type ra as a complete package does everything it says on the tin
