thats the only thing i dont really like about my RA's styling, is the lack of skirts, personally i think it somehow looks 'unfinished'. esepcially from a low angle where you can see the scraggy underside of the sills, they look a mess on my whit car cos they're so visible. I suspect on any other colour you wouldnt notice them so much.
Peccy, does your type R have the shorter gear ratios? Also does the type R have any of the creature comforts in it?
i'll take a couple of pics of my baby & post em here....

yep, mine came with the higher 5th, but i didnt like the big ratio jump, so swapped it for a normal TypeRA 5th, it revs higher on the motorways but as an overall package i prefer it. Standard RA is actually 19.4MPH/1000rpm.

My RA is 19mph at 1000 revs in 5th gear. The gearing for me is fine. Outside of a track day doing anything faster than 7,000 rpm in 5th is not going to happen very often so i dont really worry about it.
Ever since i have had the RA I just love the car, its just RAW power. Its just a joy to drive - it can be hard work with the ABS some times but thats the edgy part of driving one..(endless smiles to come)
As someone quoted to me once about their scooby
"Once you've had flat four you'll never turn back"...sure he ment the scooby..:-)

quote from new era import site about this car...
"Don't be mistaken, this is THE ultimate Rally Fugitive weapon to kill Evo's, etc, etc - probably the most impressive standard specification car to come from any manufacturer from Japan"
...(who also sell evos)

And nearly forgot the back!
This was bought in May to replace my WRX My93 which I had 3 1/2 years. I love the Type R to bits! It came standard apart from a Trust cat back. I've fitted gauges,mats and pedals. The V6 front lip, clear repeaters, WRC sun visor and a K&N panel.
Enjoy your V6'S

O.K vent open! it normaly is (below 50mph)
THe side skirts are just held on with a 2 part clips. 1 part clips onto the skirt and the other with a seal clips onto the car. Then they clip together. I don't know weather the RA already has the holes or markings for you to drill them.
As to where to get them not sure Main dealer would have them but may be expensive!

Looks good with the v6 front lip, think I will get one for mine.
Peccy
Did Miguel source your v6 Type R for you??
I will take some better pics of my car in the morning.

They are Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race One wheels, full on competiton wheels - only weigh 8kg
The don't do them in gold, so I bought them in white and had them sprayed Subaru Saffron Yellow
They now do them in bronze, bet they would look smart

Click Wheel Range, then Pro Race 1
