x444wrx Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Ive been searching around recently for one of these,is anyone on here familiar with this car? ebay listing number is - 220457146588 it is a bit on the steep side
sparky_sj04 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Funny I was looking at that very car earlier on! I could be wrong but I'm not sure there was an RA-R Blobeye. An RA yes, but not sure about the R. Looks a nice car mate, it's a late Blobeye as well, 55-plate. Suppose you would have to have a closer look because it doesn't go into much detail about the engine mods etc. in the description. Personally I would need much more information, other than just saying it's "built to Group-N spec".
st3ph3n Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 It's not an RA-R, that's for sure. If they can't get the listing right then I'd struggle to believe them.
dipsy Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) The centre console has the the older style dials .Its got the same intercooler that was fitted on 05 onwards Jdm Sti's .The only spec c ra r is a hawkeye .I am sure i have seen spec c 's with a uprated intake pipe the one that goes under the inlet manifold colour red Edited July 25, 2009 by Dipsy

Personally I would need much more information, other than just saying it's "built to Group-N spec". i Alrite bud how are you? i had a good look at this the interior eg the dials on the centre console this would indicate that its well older than a 55 plate because they are the same as whats in my 2002 gx sports wagon and the ones in blobeye x444wrx are the same as the haweye models and shes originally an 05plate. cars for sales plate l555jjj on a couple of sites is coming back as an sti. i would expect a car producing a claimed 400 horses to have a rather large spec list attached. nice looking car all the same whatever the hell it is!!!
dipsy Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Its got the rear body bits that came on the 05 models ,spec c roof scoob ,could be just a spec c
Joe G Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Its just a normal spec c. Mine is a spec c type ra and if its an ra it should have black doorcards/interior instead to the blue ones in the pics. And the normal spec c has brembo brakes which this one does. (possibly been changed) I recon its just a normal spec c!
Rednosespeccltd Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 That is a Spec C, As mentioned RA-R was hawkeye only, that also might have been a motorsport version originally as it looks like it still has the rubber pedals. The motorsport ones came with rubber pedals, throwaway interior, steel wheels and pish brakes as they were for motorsport only, but you could still buy one and change the interior ,whells etc, i know there was a white one in Scotland for sale about 2 years ago(not this one) Mac
gambler Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I agree with everyone else. The R-A-R was a special edition for the last of the hawkeyes. They had white wheels and brembo 6 pots on the front as standard
x444wrx Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 now you see guys it always pays to ask!!! i was sure myself they never made ra-r's in the blobeyes and only in the hawkeye form. but your always best to ask those who are in the know...cheers guys. ps sparky hurry up and put your black hawkeye up for sale!!!!!

Alright mate! Funny that.... I wrote you a reply to your other post and said you should hang off for a while and buy my car off me!! But my internet connection went down before I sent it, because I'm away at work... It will be going sometime mate but not 100% sure when yet. Don't worry though if you don't have anything by then you'll be the first to know. Thought I saw a few Spec-Cs on fleabay the other day? That white one was nice but a few missing details to say the least! Very little information for a supposed 400bhp + car. You'd be wanting to know straight away that it had forged internals etc. not to mention what turbo it was running. Sure there is plenty life in X444 yet.... you can hang off for mine!!!
westtra Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 its not a facelift blob either. i'm guessing it wa simported in 2006 but is more likely a 2004 model. Interior is def a pre blob facelift interior
