Default Is this a Spec C?

Im not convinced due to lack of roof vent - but my Spec C knowledge isnt too good.

Model code and a pic of the back would really help Mark, should be able to find out if it is.

I was thinking it was just the RA that got the vent, but all 03> Spec C seem to have one...

It does not have a rear wiper and the low level spoiler, these are traits assoicated with the spec c ra's.

Another give away is the Spec C's have a manual aerial in the pillar by the drivers door. Normal STi's have the aerial built into the rear windscreen. Was certainly the case for 2003 cars anyway.

Can't see in the pic though as the car is black

I seem to recall though that the Spec 'C' in bugeye form only came in white.

HTH.

Most useful all.

Im fairly sure its a JDM spec STi, but it came in from Malta. Looks like its neither Spec C or Prodrive

It does have IC spray though - do the JDM STi come with this as well as the Spec C?

Well the 2003 JDM STi intercooler spray bottle is in the engine bay while the Spec has a bigger tank in the boot. I would imagine it's the same for the 2002 model.

I didn't think there was a 2002 Spec C. I thought the bugeye equivalent was called WRX STi Type RA?

Does'nt look like a type ra (spec c are 03+) it should have a 12 liter intercooler water bottle in the boot and a roof vent which i can't see.

Hey all,

Might as well introduce myself. You've met my car already!

Just wanted to say, it wasn't sold as a Spec C...just something I heard from a mate and assumed it to be the name for the grey imports.

It was a bit of an impulse buy, rather than following detailed research!! But I paid good money for an STi. If it was a spec C, I think it would have been a bonus!

But I'm pleased with it so far, and it's certainly putting a big smile on my face when I'm in it.

Should hopefully be on here a bit more to glean information from you.


San.

Actually, can someone tell me what the Spec C actually is? Is there higher performance? And what's the roof vent for?!

Cheers buddy. I never saw myself in a Scoob, but even if it's just for a while, I thought it would be a fun experience. Just hope the reliability of Scoobs holds true.
