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

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

Would love it but to dear for me :D

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.

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.

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

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.
