Smile C Spec

Hi,

What is "C Spec"?

How can you tell if your Scooby is one?

if it is blue with gold wheels and you have a bonnet scoop that normally means that it is a C Spec.

Eh?

The Spec C is a Japanese-spec lightweight model which can be identified by the 'Spec C' badge on the back, lack of soundproofing, aluminium boot lid and massive I/C water spray tank in the boot. Some versions have a little vent in the roof too, and some lack aircon and have manually operated windows.

Easiest givaway for a spec c is the RE070 tyres, there also usually white though you can get them in blue they also dont have electrics and they have a roof vent, plus a dccd for pre 03 and a-dccd for 03 onwards.

He's pulling your leg.

Most Imprezas are blue, have gold wheels and have a bonnet scoop.

The other posts have the right info.

Stealth is good; if the spoiler is perfectly functional, who wants to attract even more attention? All the threads on here about "Some chav tore off my spoiler and wrecked my boot lid", show that Evo-style big wings are like a red rag to some morons. And the Sti type UK spoiler is the single ugliest thing ever added to the impreza IMO anyway.

You can be stealthy with another spoiler mate.... I thought Spec C's came with a different spoiler anyway (the one with alu arms etc) which suits it miles better... I've got this same spoiler on my WRX... and I hate it... simply because it looks like some sort of ironing board!!

You want to be stealthy take it off all together

Certainly does wobble, but I guess that's part of the charm of the car

Default Spec C

The biggest thing you missed about the Spec C is the turbo's different and it certainly gives more BHP and torque. At the southern Subaru dyno test at WRC Tech at Silverstone my standard Spec C, (as in stock exhaust, CAT's, filter etc) produced 306BHP and 330 ft/lb of torque!!! It knocked the spots off all the PPP equiped STI's.
