Dont see many JDM blobeye/bugeye STi's floating about in the market, specially in white. Im assuming these are sort after models that people are holding onto?

 

White is a pretty rare colour for the bug and blobs iirc.

 

as above not many white bug/blobs..especially Sti's

 

I really would not mind a white JDM blob, but so hard to find. Would importing be a good idea?

 

think there are two white spec c's for sale at the minute both members on here and there was one white hawkeye on here but i think that may of been sold now

 

30sec search found this.

Subaru : Spec C WRlimited

 

not a fan of the kit or the way the gauges are but there's this

Z Motor : SUBARU IMPREZA WRX Sti RA

 

Subaru : sti s202 lightweight

 

Not with the present currency conversion, it wouldnt!

 

i will ditto on what you said not to keen on the kit, would prefer a standard looking one, dont mind mod's.

 

White blobs are nice

 

Thats Nice

 

What I'll be after as my next scoob. Doubt I'll be able to find or afford an ra-r. But as i've only just bought a white STi v4 it'll be a while.

 

I Had a V3 STi for 2 years, just sold it lol

 

White was a factory only colour so its pretty rare with the exception of the bug/blob Spec C's which were white as standard
Note that there is a fair bit of difference between the bug and blob JDM STI's mechanically, though the S202 (316bhp) looks nice apart from the stupid spoiler

You have stolen word's from my mouth , So what are the mechanical differences?

 

Blob eye JDM cars are all twin scroll with the grooved/nitrated crank which gives better oil flow to the bearings, better power delivery and these come (in the majority of cases) with A-DCCD and quick rack steering as standard making the car far more stable and better handling.
The engines are 80% different to those of the previous model and come with equal length headers (its lost the burble but gained a growl )

This one's mine and is very nice

Can also be found here

So im assuming the Type UK blob is different to the JDM blob mechanically?

 

Very. Do you want details

 

Totally different car, they look similar, thats about as far as it goes

Tony

 

Mate that is nice but i have a budget slightly less than that and would not want to attempt a offer as i know what the car is worth.

 

perhaps come to a deal for just one set of wheels and leave out the spare suspension.

This is what im talking about, Red beauty

 

That's a spec c, less goodies than the normal sti but lighter and has a few extras over the standard sti, will be noisier as no soundproofing and lighter.
Is this definately the car your after? They can be pretty tiring for a daily driver to most people.

Tony

 

Now now Tony you used to have one ...or are you starting to show your age

 

I see a white JDM blob all the time

 

Loving my JDM STI MY05 widetrack blobeye in Obsidian Black Pearl paint, it looks stunning in the sunlight. You don't need a Spec C version to go quickly, the normal STI has some serious pickup thanks to the twin scroll AVCS engine setup. Fastest standard car in the scoobysprint series this year, beating a lot of modified cars.

The STi9 cranks are cross drilled and nitrided Tony, if they were grooved/nitrated I'd be very worried.

 

Ive kept my choice's open to any of the three, but ideally i want a JDM Blob STi. would'nt mind a pic of your JDM 'johnfelstead'

 

Loads of them at Scooby Sprint Championship
