Think Iain was refering to a type RA, thats just a standard spec c
Though looking though that listing, dunno why he's downgraded his fuel pump as the one on there isnt the standard one which is very good plus a decat but no sign of a remap.... would need to see if it has had that, if not id stay clear!

I emailed him when this started, just got this back:



hi ok as far as history goes i got it from a garage ,the car was imported to ireland from japan by the guy who had it first , when i bouhgt it the car had irish plates on it so went to my local dvla office to have them changed to english plates which means im the first owner in the uk, as for wanting to sell the car well im in no rush as im in two minds on if i want to sell it or not as the car is the best scooby ive owned as ive had 4 now all of them imported going from an early type ra , to a 99 type r , a v limited 2004 , and now a spec-c i was hoping to sell it to fund the perchase of an rb320 , otherwise im happy with the car so might not sell it and keep it, add some 18" alloys front lip spoiler etc many thanks hope this helps


Hmmmmmmm im so horribly tempted lol

I rang the guy about the car and paid for searches etc the get it checked out, the reports came back as not knowing what the car was, i then rang the DVLA to ask the and it is reg as a Subaru Impreza in white, they also told me there was no POLICE activity on the vechcle at the moment, i also rang KTC and they were not willing to tell me the histroy of the car apart from it came from Japan to Ireland and then they brought it from a guy in Ireland.

I also tryed to find out who had imported it, but knowone know's, i have the money waiting but there were to many unanswered question's.

You really don't want to know!

Keighly Trade Centre is the full name. Just do a search and you'll throw no end of number of threads on them. Avoid like the plague!
