Cheers guys I hope to upgrade the brakes next and get some coilovers on her and I would like to change the wheels and keep the white ones with the RE70's for the track. I had a Evo VII before this but this car is much better much wider power band and the handling is superb.

Incase you guys arent familier with the Spec-C V-Limited here is some info on it:

The Spec-C V-Limited is one of 300 produced



It was built in late 2005 to celebrate Toshi Arai winning the Group-N Rally Championship. The Spec-C was used for homologation of the 2006 Group-N Subaru Rally Car. It went on Sale in Japan in early 2006.

One of the main features, which make the V-Limited recognisable are the factory fit white wheels. Other features include Team Arai side door stickers and carbon fibre boot badge.

The Specification of the car includes:

Model Type: GH-GDB

Engine: 2.0 lt DOHC 16 Valve EJ-20 Engine

Turbo: Twin Scroll Roller Bearing AVCS Turbo

Headers: Equal Length Headers (do away with the traditional “Flat Four Rumble”)

Gearbox: Six Speed, Close Ratio Gearbox

Diff: Driver Controlled Centre Diff with Automatic Option

Brakes: Brembo Vented Front and Rear Brakes

Tyres: Bridgestone RE070 235/45R17’s

Fuel: Mapped for 95 Ron & measured amount of Lucas per tank

“Extras as Standard”
The Spec-C V-Limited came with electric mirrors, electric windows and air-con, which were only optional extras up to recently.

Some Enhancements over the STI include:

* Rear Brace Strut
* 12 Lt Water Spray Tank in Boot
* Roof Vent
* Special Suspension Set-up
* Close Ratio Gearbox
* Front Lip Spoiler
* Rear De-fuser
* Throttle cable instead of fly-by-wire

Light Weight Parts Fitted:

* Aluminium Boot
* Aluminium Roof
* Aluminium Bonnet
* Thinner Carpet & Glass
* 50 Lt Fuel Tank instead of 60 lt
* Lightweight Battery

Other Weight Reduction includes:

* Non-Fitment of Soundproofing
* Non-Fitment of Passenger Sun Visor
* Non-Fitment of Rear Wash Wipe
* Non-Fitment of Rear Boot Liner and Mat
* Non-Fitment Rear Speakers

The resulting weight loss is 70Kgs Leaving the car at 1390Kgs

Thanks for the write up funny club. It's interesting how they did away with the unequal length headers and drive by wire. I wonder why?

Well as the turbo on this is a twin scroll bb turbo I think the equal lenght mani gives better response and more power. Also about the drive by wire I a m sure its not as reliable for rally as a cable throttle.
