What I replaced my WR1 with.......

Sold my WR1 about 5 weeks ago now and had the cash in the bank waiting for the right car to come along.
Last friday it came along in the shape of this Spec C and after much deliberating and a umming and ahhing it was sat on my drive a few hours later.
I have a front splitter and mud flaps to add to it and its booked in for a full service, rolling road and mapping session at RCM in 2 weeks time.
Just a few pics:

Lovely motors Spec-C`s, Got one myself, Out of interest what coilovers are they?
Just a bit of advice not a critisism, I would lose the Induction kit and replace it with the standard airbox then get the Map checked, Other than that![Thumb](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif)

Huzzy, note that the writing on the roof vent states that your not to open the flap above 80kmh (or 50mph in our terms), its advisable to follow this advice

Yeah I believe it was imported by KTC but I bought it from a garage down South. When I had a look at the car and saw Keighley Trade Centre on the bottom of the number plates I really didn't want to look at it anymore.
As I looked and looked at the car I really couldn't see anything wrong with it. I mean, I know KTC have a horrendous reputation but surely all cars they sell can't be that bad or surely they wouldn't be in business? Anyway, to cut a long story short and after having it checked over I took a punt on it. Really glad I have as it is an awesome car. It's off to RCM for a few days in 2 weeks time for a money no object service as it's only a weekend car I want it 100% spot on. It's also going on the rollers and being mapped as a precaution. I'm sure RCM will do it justice!
As for how does it compare to the WR1? Well, I would say that the WR1 was quite brutal between 0 to 60, but the Spec C seems more refined, quite how I don't know but it seems like it's easier to drive but the Twin-scroll really does have a lot to give which was evident yesterday morning when I took it for a spirited drive around some nice Buckinghamshire B roads! All in all I am happy that I swapped the WR1 for the Spec C.
