Yep that's correct, my new one which has just landed this week

the RS Betty to drive ROR!

Not sure if it still exists but Subaru Aust did have an STI "tuning" section headed up by Greg Foletta...it was based at Docklands.....they did a fair bit of work a few years ago on some of the STI factory bits which are available through ADM dealerships (eg suspension packages etc)...

Last I heard auto evolution in Hong Kong had 30 my07 spec C's in stock. I looked very seriously at buying one but they would not sell it to me until they had installed a cage. Now their prep is basic at best so I would pay for them to strip and cage and reinstall and then when it gets here I would have to strip it again and get it right and then re build it. Epic waste of money.

Yep still around, STi Docklands. But I think one of the major players has left so there isn't tuning available at the moment? Not sure but can find out.

Kool info Brendon, I might have to look into it when we go back to China
as they might be less strict selling to a resident.

Would be awesome to have a RHD Spec C to use instead of my LHD
South East (Mitsi) Delica ROR.

i'm just looking through my emails for the photos of one of the cars they had put a cage in but seems the work computer has archived everything. Will keep looking though... it must be here somewhere

I did find the brochure and pricing for the 06-07 spec C subaru motorsport cars if anyone is interested. Full tarmac PWRC was $195k and a poverty pack was $70k. Everything else in between.
