Go for it.

 

Sorry Ricky cant help you with that one very very nice car there if i had that sort of money sitting around i would spend it on my scooby

 

You'd only break it Ricky.

 

 

I would if i could....

 

I could get £10k for mine and add another £6k....! If it was not in N Ireland I would have had a look at least, maybe that's a good thing!

 

Very nice cheap car. Ricky no point for you as you would only drive it like a girl

 

It's one of those special driver aids editions in White

 

£10K dream on not worth more than 8k, don't care what you have done to it or spent on it, those days are long gone......

 

How many times have I been told that about all my other cars

You try getting a Ver9 JDM Widetrack Sti with documented history & £3k spent on in a year for less than £10k. In the last 6 months I have seen only 2 JDM Hawks come up & no Ver9 JDM Sti's at all. There have been a few dodgy JDM Ver 8's for approx £8k.

Its all about supply & demand and buyers perceptions on particular models of cars. I sold my standard-ish Ver6 Type R less than a year ago for £7,750

 

Seems a great car Ricky...............but having a spec list like that there are plenty that could go wrong if not maintaned religously!!

Plus its got the short ratio 5 speed which will mean very high rpm on the motorways, so if you think your JDM is bad in 6th imagine what this is like in 5th !!

But then its your money so spend it as you please.

I would say your better off spending a bit more on yours, getting upto say 400 - 420 bhp and then you can start enjoying it all over again.

Mel

p.s. stop wasting time, get your car sorted and book yourself up for Snetterton!!!

 

lol

ps that Evo's probably not the type of car Il be taking my little one to school in everyday!!

 

Well said

 

Are they allowing girly drivers on that day?

 

Well they must be if they'r allowing Mel on track!

 

Ricky your in position to say things like that

 

One passenger lap for Ricky then!!

 

With sick back and oxygen at the ready

 

Speaking from past experience Dave being in a car with Ricky that bad???

 

Stick with what you've got mate, until your old Spec C comes back on the market because that's the only car that will make you happy

 

I heard Evo's have an active diff, meaning they use pumps to pump fluid about the diff to improve handling, they also cost £1000+ to fix i hear, lol.

Thanks
Sam

 

Yeah the Ayc pumps and bits inside the diff and gearbox are a bit fragile and expensive, as well as parts in general are expensive. Best bet would be an Evo 9 GT or RS, (no ayc and a mechanical different) but still more expensive to run and insure than e.g. a Hawk Spec C.........I feel another Hawkeye Spec may be the ticket Joh, .....nothing like going back to my younger days sweetheart in my middling years!

 

cheque out this badboy ricky

do you think he would take £7 for it if someone showed him what 7 looks like in cash

 

That's a UK model, completely different valuation example, with double the miles too , though that is a nice motor. P's I sold him my hyper black sti wheels this weekend !

 

I seem to remember reading a TI mag with your lovely Spec C featured and you commented on an MR 360 Evo 9 that you test drove an you didn't say much in the way of anything good about it an that was why you settled for the Subaru, am i mistaken?

P.S surely if an Evo doesn't have AYC the it's handling wouldn't be upto much? I mean they ain't exactly featherweights or weight balanced like a Scoob (Not saying a subaru is light). Can anyone correct me?

If i were you i'd buy either a White Spec C hawk or a Grey MR.

 

The Evo9 GT has the much stronger mechanical diffs as found on the RS versions and I'm sure there is some other diff trickery at work instead of the AYC. Pretty robust compared to the AYC on MR' s. Out of the box I prefered a STD Spec C over a STD Evo 9 but here we're talking about a 600 bhp forged big build Evo 9 for approx £16k!! Great bang for your buck as so much cheaper than trying to do that yourself. Also we can't get around the fact the the evo 4g63 iron block can easily take over 500bhp with just uprated rods. Saying all that I'd probably still go back and get another Spec C!

 

Hi Ricky what is the real difference between a jap and a uk then cos they look the same to me How many miles has yours got then buddy
i understand the spec c and the type ra but what is better about the jap version sti

 

Not for me but if Ricky goes as passenger, but yes his driving does make you sick OMFG yuk comes to mind

 

The one he's got ain't been driven proper
