Looking For A Jdm

[seano]

Hi all just to say iv sold my evo and im on the lookout for a jdm subaru 2003 onwards preferibly a spec c.I have found two on pistonheads but have been let down with one tonight due to the fact the car has never been SVAd and i have heard this very exspensive.I have found another one.2003 spec c,18k 2owners and was imported new and is the best colour as well(white).But if anyone know of any other ones out there let me know thanks Sean

White spec c with 18k sounds fantastic

Hi mate, SVA test isnt expensive. But im pretty sure any car under 10 years old needs the SVA test before it can be registered and put on the road. Was the car you went to see a fresh import?

If the Spec C was MY05 or older then you could hire a model report for it and SVA it yourself, but it's not that cheap as the car has to match the model report exactly.

I bought my MY05 Spec C from www.performance-centre-manchester.co.uk.

Its on pistonheads, but it came from keighley trade center down south and people are putting me off it,it has stickers up the side saying spec c you cant miss it on pages 2or3.There is another one, 2003 thats £14000 and that means i have got money to spend straght away on it.What should i do, the 2006 one is also at the bottom of the contry. I WANT ANOTHER SUBARU

What about Andy's Fatboy. It looks even better in real life, saw it at a Glasgow meet and attention to detail is amazing.

seano,

keighley trade center do not get good press at all, they are always saying how crap keighley's are on scoobynet.

iam sure alot of their cars are sheds close up and they also refuse to give genuine interested buyers a test drive.

with they cash something good will turn up

Sean i nearly bought a car from Keighley but the way they talked to me on the phone put me off. give them a bell and ask a few questions about the car make your own mind up.

try www.carplanetltd.co.uk in warrington.

there is also an auction for imported cars every wednesday in liverpool. i've never been so don't know what the cars are like. batter car importers into a search engine see what results come out.

i have bought the odd duff motor in the past and paid dear. don't let your heart rule your head. Do a HPI get an engineer to look at the car. take it for a serious test drive too.

Dicksons of Dunblane have had an sti9 for some time have they got a good name?

They've had that car since March, dunno why.

For peace of mind and if you can wait, I'd import one fresh from Japan. Either from the place I mentioned above or Litchfield. Infact PCM have a nice MY05 JDM STi in stock.

[oobster]

Wasn't Dicksons of Dunblane on the new recently because of some court case and the judge was very scathing of the owner?

Dicksons of Dunblane are useless and there after sales service is sh!t.I think Brian Downie has a Jdm sti for sale

[sti pretender]

I'm sure Dickson's had a STI9 for sale when I was looking last September was just under 20k cause I was happier going for a pre-reg UK STI9 for the same price. Looks like the same pics.

One on scoobynet!

[sti pretender]

I know its not a Spec C and might be older than you are looking for but for 18k this must be a bargain.

Can you give me an idea what i can get from PCM i am gaging for another subaru!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[westtra]

the is a jdm sti at brian downie. bit over priced though IMHO

[Rednosespeccltd]

Dont just buy one mate for the quickness of it, i waited 3 months for my spec c, got it from Litchfields and drove all the way down there to pick it up, its worth waiting for the right car IMO.

Do not go near KTC as i went to see some cars a year or so ago, load of sh*te mate, bits missing bad paint, some oviously crash repaired, but its your call.

There are a few JDM's on Scoobynet at the moment,its worth waiting for the right on IMO.

Good luck.

I have been looking at a white spec c on page 33 on pistonheads.I have spoke to the guy and it sound good,it has a good history as well

[seano]

Does anyone know what power a 2003 spec c has as standerd.And do they come with the same type of gearbox that in an RA impreza?And are they a 6 speed box.Thanks Sean

Officially it's still 280ish, unofficially 310-320 on 100RON. It is a 6 speed box with close ratio gearing.

[dipsy]

Torque wise 283lbt for 2003 jdm sti and spec c

[seano]

So what would be the best mods that i could do for about 1500-2000grand and what power would i be looking at.The car is standerd apart from a re map for uk fuel.I dont no what kind of map was done but it was done by http://www.svaimports.com/ This is wear the car was bought from has anyone heard of them.

With that money you'd be looking at 350-360 bhp and the same ammount of torque and a bloody quick car to boot. I've got a Milltek full decat exhaust, air filter and an Andy F remap.
