If it needs engine work then about 3-4k, maybe a little less, depends on the cars overall condition really.
A good low mileage one will hit 7k with no difficulties

Totally different beasts, having both a V5 STI type R and a Spec C, night and day, much prefer the more planted, quicker, better handling newage car

For the Classics / bug / blob and hawk Subaru have always done a lighter and shorter geared car with firmer suspension. For the Classic this was the RA (Race Altered) and this was carried over to the bug. The bug RA was such a dissapointment that they dropped the name and moved over to the Spec c name (C for Competition) for the Later bug blob and hawk.

The RA in later cars stands for Record attempt (the 'ring) and was a modified Spec C.

Neither is "better"........just different LOL
