I imported this to the UK in 2016, at 19200 miles. It's now on 53400, and a joy to drive, as long as there are bends! In Japan, it was registered and sold as a "330s", basically copying a UK uprated model of the time. That consisted of Cusco sway bars, a HKS mid pipe, and numerous STI options.
I have had a custom open source map for UK fuel, one step colder spark plugs, HKS actuator, Perrin fpr, AEM panel filter, Samco airbox pipe, and RCM fuel pump, seeing 357bhp on an oem catalyzer

.
The sway bars and drop links have been uprated again to 22mm adjustable, and STI front and rear flexible support and strengthening kits added, similar to the R205. Other options were Recaro seats, STI rear sports muffler, STI front lip spoiler.
Future plans will involve a titanium single exit exhaust and Sard sports catalyzer, heat management, water/meth injection, and AP racing brakes.

Very cool car. Congratulations. I loved my GRB back in the day. My 1st Subaru.

that's freakin awesome, was wondering where yellow option was! are the calipers yellow too?

 

[Bob Todd]

Thanks. Calipers were, and are, gold. It's the only distinguishing mark on a spec C. Sorry for the delay in replying.

No worries, I have a pic showing the same w/the blue one in the foreground...grabbed the pic when I purchased my '10 SE which is supposed to be the USDM spec c comparible from my understanding...I miss it a lot but think I have my 09 looking similar lol!

Wow, nice colour. Always liked this colour on a STI.

Had a strip down, undersealed everything, removed all trim.

looks [email protected]! hows the sound?

 

[Bob Todd]

Thanks. As it is Jdm, it has twinscroll headers which are equal length, so no rumble, pretty quiet until you open it up, and then it sounds more like a Jap bike. The back box is an Sti option. Planning to swap to a straight through titanium exhaust shortly, saving 26lbs. It's a different car from the UK or US versions....2.0l engine, twinscroll, lightened glass, small battery, aluminium hood, no sound insulation, 13:1 quick rack, chassis and bushings uprated, vf53 etc

thats funny i saw one on ebay and thought they just chopped the tips an welded em on a tsudo [email protected]! but awesome...soulds like mine i have stock catback with killerb headers, cobb dp...im ahead of the noise but i assume its similar lol! i think its funny its mainly you an i on this! i need to get some of your other upgrades...although looking at carbon for the hood, hatch, roof and seats...bit pricier but is available in the US compared to the aluminum! or at least easy to find lol
