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!!
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!
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 🇯🇵
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 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. 😎👌
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 😂

Ahhhh super cool to hear that! It's a mega motor!
The dccd split on the version 8s are 65/35 and on the version 9s + are 41/59. 👍
Ahhh cool good to know!
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! 😂
These will be very expensive in years to come good investment
I think so too
Make sure you pick up your rubbish when you leave 😂
Will do captain 🫡
Great vid mate, love the Subaru 👊🏻
You and me both!
Such an amazing car!
Makes a good noise!
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

YOUR DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!
