There are some based on the JDM STI as well. Not all are based on the Spec C.

Not many T25s were Spec Cs so if it is ^^ then fairly rare too T25 drivers tend to be a bit ghey so prefer the softer JDM settings rather than hardcore Spec C

TX.

PS

Doesn't look like a WR Ltd to me as they had a small carbon badge on right hand side of boot + it should say Spec C over there too

PPS

Nasty rear spoiler too ... what happened to carbon T25 / S202 spoiler or indeed the more discrete WRX spoiler that they normally come with?

PPPS

My fave would be the standard Spec C as it has the Jap 2 litre engine rather than the US 2.5 litre. The Jap engine is a cracker vs the 2.5 IMHO.

It all depends on the spec. If the type 25 is based on the spec c then i'd go for that . If not then i'd go for the spec c all day longggggggggggggggggggg. Plus if the mileage is higher on the type 25 then i'd go for a spec c. I think theres been a few rebuilds on the mak1 type 25 and plus litcho does a new bolt on turbo for the 2.0l which gives you better performance then the mk1 type 25.

Thats a well spec'd type 25!

Another vote for the T25 here (I declare my interest) but at that mileage I'd be wary about the head gaskets.

Cheap car though, those Defis will have cost £700 new back then.

It's only 15mm wider makes all the difference though you can tell as the wheel arches on the rear have tiny extensions on them vs the older cars. Look here at my old for sale thread (google just found it ):
