Its the wrong colour for a spec c
Sardo, spec c's are 120kg lighter than their STi brothers, smaller fuel tanks and several other different changes, they are a competition car (hence the spec c which means specification competition) and these are "normally" the cars used to be made into the rally cars.

Can tell you exactly what you have brought its the non prodrive STi brought out in 2002, 265ps out of the box, uk car (has the subaru lettering on the boot).
Looks like it could be a euro import (no type uk on the boot lid unless its been taken off), will be mica black (black with gold flecks).

The third character refers to the engine that particular chassis was equipped with from the factory. The engine code itself implies engine size, configuration, and other things like radiator type and crossmember used.

Due to some confusion on the VIN versus the applied model code both Model Codes and VINs are shown .

Applied Model Codes:

Cheers Tony,

Hi San

As I said, I know my scoobs quite well (apart from spec C's ) so let me know if you need help

If I remember right the Buygeye Spec C was brought out in December 2001.......

The original Bugeye STi came in 3 variants..Saloon, wagon and RA (white only with black mirrors etc) Ignoring the STi type-S

But..

The original Bugeye STi RA was not carried over when they revised the bugeye about a year into it's life, presumably as it was a bit lardy, but emerged sometime later as the Bugeye STi RA -Spec C, with loads of bits removed.... Subframes , thin glass, including removing the two airbags !! The IC water bottle was relocated to the boot and expanded to 12 litres.

Still only in white LOL

Cheers

Shaun (trying to keep track of the bugeyemodels)

Cheers Mark. You'll probably regret the offer.

Sardo Numspa

Oh, and when/how often are you supposed to use the IC spray?

Dark Blue Mark

Its rarely needed unless you are on track. It just cools the air charge to the intercooler.

I had the Evo one on auto and it never kicked in.

Im guessing yours doesnt have an Auto function?

scubasteve

is the battery very small (ie not standard size for scoobs)as that would indicate spec C as the battery tray is tiny on them . I think


if not then it looks like an sti to me.

Ah thats probably why they called that black/blue mica the gold fleck one was from 2003 onwards my fault

Its not a spec c, its a non prodrive 2002 model STi, uk or eu import (most likely the eu import), not a JDM.
