As for WRC on the road which everyone runs as a public road usually, the rally car which designates the mass production car as the base (WR-CAR) competes the speed of the extremity unlike F1 which fights with the circuit. "If it masters running, it becomes safe", that you call to the starting point of the challenge, there is the philosophy of SUBARU. And, as for the technology which is obtained with WRC naturally, you connect directly to the development of the mass production car. Actually, the rally car and the mass production car, about in presser which has the same basic structure, horizontal opposition engine + SYMMETRICAL AWD there is no car which is tied with dense DNA. Because and, it continues to challenge with the highest peak of the world very, while also the mass production car always introducing up-to-date technology, it is possible to evolve. The reason which continues the challenge to WRC SUBARU without as many as 10 years or more going to bed there is there.

2003, SUBARU when the world champion is brought to the young driver of 3 public attention, simultaneously, PCWRC which is closer to the mass production car (production car worldwide rally championship) with 1-2-3 monopolizing rank. The large automaker of the world in the partner, past 3 year continual マニュファクチャラーズチャンピオン, victory 39 of totalAs with the record which is said is left, in presser since participating, there is no season when it is not yet victory, thinks that top-level capability is always shown in pride. It believes that and, the original attitude of such SUBARU, becomes something which gives stimulus to car culture.

Is that any help?

 

who has got these for sale then M8

 

it was a website i found called group 20, do a search im sure you can find it, if not let me know ill find the link again for you, they are calling me back tomorrow with more details, from what i can make out possibly it has the adjustable suspension, maybe a different exhaust although thats unclear, has a special plaque with model number as there were only around 500 made, a few facial differences. It has the same engine as the gl and same top spec as in all options, bbs wheels, re070s, hid lights, dccda, it was about 27k though brand new, 9 or 10 weeks to get one, however seems like a nice and rare car, thinking about ordering one myself

 

Here you go http://www.import-japanese-cars.com

 

ill report back tomorrow if they really get back to me and can get one, i have been told quite hard to get hold of so ill see what they say, 28k seems alot though, but i guess there are few to none in the uk already, anyone else ever seen one?

 

Jason,
I emailed DHcars this week who have two on order, cars should be available for viewing from mid March. Their advertised price seams high at £29995, still depends what that includes.

 

DH gives 3 year warranty.....tracker.....alarm imobilizer.....cant remember what else though....

He doesnt believe in re-mapping his cars for UK fuel though, so the power quoted may be down on the brouchure figure

 

not heard anything to positive about dhcars, yes you get a warranty but whats it worth?? at least with the group 20 its 28k and you get some type of warranty, personally im not really to worried about that, subaru always been the most reliable car i have ever owned considering how it can be driven and still purrrrrs like a cat. Although the car is a quoted 276bhp as are all sti9s its just the same as any other of last years sti on the power, quite easily remappable to about 320 i would think. Does anyone actually know the difference in spec? is it adjustable susp? what else is different??

 

"Suicide seat sun visor & center visor less conversion"
ROFL - WTF is a suicide seat?

Vindaloo.
