Nice car mate... My wrexi is a 2003 gd with your cars running gear.(the original one burned out) Slighty modified though...lol.. It does 900 plus whp at 9250 rpm..45psi boost. Its incredibly fun to drive... These cars have the highest grin factor of almost any car...
When I was like 10 I sat in one of these in a dealership in northern Sweden. Ever since I've wanted one, hopefully in a couple of years if I get a good job I'll get one.
Don’t wait to get a good job. Buckle down and start your own business in an area you love and then you can make great money while doing something that doesn’t feel like a job. And you can buy all the cars you want.
I’m in love with my 05 STI. Just wish we got these cool editions like these and the S20 cars. We got the 2005 ESX STI that came red with white rally stripes 425hp and red alcantara on the interior instead of blue but they only made 40. And they did a 2015 for their 10 year anniversary as well.
Seen this at the LB Cars and Coffee meet - don't know anything about Subaru cars, so had no idea how special it was - the thing that we noticed was the 'air flap?' on the roof - hadn't seen one like that before. Great to now get educated - another great video Mikey!
Mental I was down at fbtuning last year getting a newage engine into my classic and this very spec c was there! Very awesome in person and yes, a unicorn in the subaru world!!
There’s so many different Scooby models and editions that I don’t know what half of them are but I know this one and it’s a bloody good one! Another enjoyable watch and jdm so bonus points 🇯🇵
I own a JDM Bugeye Type RA Spec C which they only made 172 of, I thought that the RA stood for “Rally Altered” as I believe my version was made for the Group N rallying, my car came with no boot spoiler or boot trims, no DCCD, no front fog lights, no air bags and wind down windows it’s the true hardcore lightweight version. Other things I like about mine is the single scroll turbo and equal length headers so you don’t get that Subaru burble and the Bugeye Spec C was only available in white.
I think there is definitely mixed messages on line about what the RA stands for for sure. From what I read on some it’s rally altered on others it’s record attempt I believe for my specific model it’s record attempt due to the attempt to break that 8 min lap but i could be wrong 😂. I think earlier models like yours it’s defo rally altered due to being made for group n rallying like u say. Mine also has the equal length headers so doesn’t sound like your average uk Subaru which I have defo grown to love. 👊🏻 your bugeye is lovely btw 👌🏻
@@andywalker2316 I think you’re right in regards to the RA, at a guess you’re on the TypeRA forum? Thanks for the kind words, engine out soon for a 2.1 engine build. 😎👌
Hope you put your rubbish in the bin 😂😂. Love how you leave this bits in. It shows how honest the videos are and the general public are weird and wonderful 😂😂
I believe there was also 300 Ra-r cars produced (at least that’s what Torque gt state on their website and they do know their stuff) so I would say the ra-r is equally as rare as the Nurburgring ra from info on line. I’m sure Subaru produced other special models in less units but difficult filtering through all 😂

Report back and let us know if you ever get one!

ESX sounds like something i need to see!
Absolutely love this car! Such a unicorn and unassuming to anyone who doesn’t know what they’re looking at. Great video Mikey
Thanks my man!
Such a special car, I've always been an impreza fan and this is top spec 👌
Couldn't agree more!

Very cool mate 👌
I remember being told it was Race Altered when I was talking to a chap with a classic. So who bloody knows! 😂
Bred on 80’s/90’s Vauxhalls……nuff said 👌👍 personally liking the longer vids mikey, great as usual
Glad you like them! Means alot mate
Great vid mate, love the Subaru 👊🏻
You and me both!
These will be very expensive in years to come good investment
I think so too
Hope you put your rubbish in the bin 😂😂. Love how you leave this bits in. It shows how honest the videos are and the general public are weird and wonderful 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it lol. Like you say, keeps it real
Such an amazing car!
Makes a good noise!
Make sure you pick up your rubbish when you leave 😂
Will do captain 🫡
Isn't the Ra-r in the hawkeye the rarest?
Quite possible, the numbers are so up in the air! It's very difficult to find actual official production numbers
