Default Type 20 on Piston heads

Hi does anybody know the type 20 that's for sale on piston heads? its been on there a long time I think. Subaru : litchfields sti type 20 £11,500

Was wondering why it had the 05 style rear arches and bumpers I prefer them but all the others i have seen have been 04 style.
Spoiler is not to my taste but am sure that will sell on or exchange with another blue boot if it doesn't come off without damaging the boot.

Its probably an early MY05 JDM STI, seeing the interior will tell you though and the package was available on any car, not just MY04 JDM's

Type 20 is rare so if it's been there for a while there will be a good reason that spoiler is

Tony - Thanks so they made the Type 20 for the MY05 cars as well? The 05 ones I have seen have all been Type 25s.
Are the original Type 20-25s marked on the log books or can you check with Litchfields if its an original or just a copy?

Terminator - I am asking as its been on there a while surely somebody on here will know about it if its not right.
The spoiler may look better in reality but I doubt it although its probably worth a few quid if its a genuine one.

T20s hardly ever come up for sale! I was looking for one a few years ago & had to give up. Bought a Spec C instead

I suggest you contact Iain Litchfield - he can tell you if it's genuine. Judging by the registration number it could well be a T-20.

The T25s have a plaque with a build number, but I don't know about the T20s.

buy a spec C or JDM twinscroll and put all the type 20 trinkets on it. Or buy a Spec C that already has all the Litchfield type 20 packages put on it - like i did. at the end of the day all mine is missing is the badge.

If you could buy a MY05 Spec C for £8k-9k then I would
You would be looking at 15K + to buy a spec C then get all the type 20 parts extra.
What is yours and would you sell it for 11k?

this one reason why peeps should only quote model year( MY05) and not year registered 2004 or STi7, STi9 etc. etc.

my Type 20 is supposibly a Hawkeye 2005 Sti10/11/12 JDM !!!! FFS

It Never been the above is a just aMY06 STi JDM or a STi06JDM although registered it was DEC 2005 it will never be a MY05 or a 2005 model

Sorry although Subaru salesmen have pitch it, according to prodrive and Subaru japan There has never has been or no such car a STi8, STi9, STi10, STi11, STi12 etc etc. this STi Version number finnished with the classics. and as said revived by UK salesmen

IMHO IIRC

Merry Christmas

Tony what are the differences in the trim apart from the steering wheel?
If it is a genuine Litchfield Type20 will it defiantly be based on a Spec C?

Am awaiting a reply from the seller so hopefully he can tell me if its a MY04 or 05 and hopefully with some more pics.

Type 20s and Type 25 could be based on standard JDM or any model of Spec C you wanted. Matter of choice for the first owner.

I chose JDM

My old Spec C was registered in Dec 2004 but was a MY05

TX.

Edit - same controls as mine below the MY05 will also have the (slightly) wider track so will have the tiny arch extensions at rear.

The T20 can be based on either the standard or Spec C STI models, that looks like the standard one, still thats not a problem will have the darker interior and upgraded centre console

Definately worth looking at if you want a bit of comfort and fun

Not a numpty at All, This whole UK STi version numbering is a Total SHAM Your car is either a MY04 STi UK (Non DCCD), MY04 STi JDM(DCCD), MY05 STiUK(DCCD), MY05 STiJDM and Hawkeyes are MY06 STi**** etc. the other variation that seems as correct is STi04UK, WRX04UK or STi04JDM etc

the "confusion" is completely due to
