Pictures of my Spec B - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

SpecB#127 · 2006-03-04, 06:27 PM

I figured I would post up some pics that I took of my Spec B about a month ago after a washing. Some of them are a little dark since the sun was going down. I will have to come up to one of the meets when I get a chance. It is a little far for me since I live down in Gardnerville.

Anyway, here are the pics

And mods, if I missed an actual post your pic thread, I apologize in advance.

Nice. I really like that color!

You got that from Michael Hohl? Did they have to order one? I thought that Carson would be the last place in the area I'd see a Spec B.

They're also limited to a run of only 500. Each has that little numbered plaque that you see in pic #3, with the car's #/500.

That's frickin awesome :jealous:

Michael Hohl was the only dealer in the area to get any (or so they say). The do however have an award in the showrooms that toughts them as number 9 in the nation as far as Subaru sales go.

They still had two left about a week ago when I picked up an oil filter there.

Unfortunately I have never driven a Impreza/WRX/STi, so I cannot comment on that. I keep toying with the idea of test driving an STi to compare.

I did however, drive an Evo IX MR, and a Mazdaspeed 6 before I bought the Spec B. The Evo rides a lot more firm and is a bit faster, but lacks all of the creature comforts of the Spec B (leather, moonroof, etc.)

I did not care for the MS6 that I test drove. The ride was OK, but the clutch was way too grabby for my taste. As you let it out you would get nothing, nothing, then all grab! I almost killed the thing twice during the test drive.

I actually think I will keep these stock wheels. However, you can buy them from any Subaru dealer, but I think they are about $250 a piece

They lied to you.

I personally saw a small handful, (maybe 3) at Reno Lithia Subaru when they first came out, when SlickNick was working there!

A1337STI · 2006-03-06, 12:01 PM

Yeah you definatly should. Maybe if i ever loosen up a bit i'll let you drive my car to compare to the two. i've never let anyone drive it so ...

Sounds like a nice ride quality though

still some good road feel ? (those 18's )

again, very sick car

Yes those are the 18" stockies it came with. I love em so I doubt I will change them.

Kevin M · 2006-03-06, 11:06 PM

$250 a wheel? That's a screaming deal. Hell, that's only $50 a set less than ANY stock 16" alloy Subaru wheel goes for new. And only $500 per wheel less than STi BBS!

Actually that's not true. MH Subaru had 3 shipped to them back in October before I left Reno. I was working for Reno Lithia Subaru when we had two shipped to us. I know that the spec B didn't sell like they thought it would, or anticipated. Not to take anything away from you or your new ride, I fell in love with that car and almost bought it before I left for Washington. I had #'s drawn up one night, just moments from pulling the trigger before talking myself out of it. I was going to buy #112. Tell me that wasn't a sign. Still a very hot car. Congrats.

Did Lithia end up selling thier Spec B's or do dealer trades with them? I have not seen any other ones driving around the area. Just curious.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-03-07, 01:43 PM

Are there any visual differences on the exterior that distinguish Spec B's from regular LGTs? Aren't the wheels bigger or something?

18" wheels and a exclusive silver color (though its a very subtle difference, and most people would be hard pressed to notice).

Don't forget the manure colored leather.
