Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C Type RA-R

The Spec C Type RA-R is one of the most focused versions of the GDB-generation Impreza WRX STI, a lightweight, competition-minded car built in a run of only 300. This one is a fresh Japanese import in blue; the dealer notes that around 100 of the 300 were finished in WR Blue Mica.

Specification includes a larger twin-scroll turbo with a sport ECU, STI-tuned suspension with pillow-ball links, quick-ratio steering, Brembo brakes and 18-inch forged alloys, plus thinner glass and lighter body panels. It has a manual gearbox and DCCD, and shows 73,585 miles (118,424 km).

Recent work listed includes a full service, timing belt and water pump, a new clutch with flywheel and spigot bearing, a gearbox strip and reseal, and four new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres. The speedometer has been converted to mph and the underside is described as rust-free. The V5 is to hand and a 12-month MOT is to be supplied.
