I think what Bob meant was that the sti2 ot the sti2 ra engine would be stronger than the wrx engine of the same year. The fact that its an ra doesnt make a difference. The close deck block is a better platform for moidification as opposed to the sti3 which has the open deck.

Iwan

Yeah that makes sense, it'll either be a WRX RA or maybe an STI RA if i can find one for the right money. Only thing with spending out more on an STI RA is that i won't be able to afford to do as much with the engine/suspension.

Better engine, DCCD, and a roof vent would be nice though...

Scooby125

Yeah thats true all right but on the other hand if you could manage to afford the sti ra even though it might take you more time to mod it the way you want due to lack of funds as a result of paying more for the car but in my opinion the wait would be worth it. At the same time I suppose a modded wrx ra would also be an excellent car.

My sti2 ra is on the way back from Japan at the moment, roll on.

GariYaRally

aha, water jackets are different.....

peccy

what sort of centre/rear diff setup to they have?

(would they perform like the Sti RA with DCCD set to OPEN mode? i.e able to doughnut )

DaveBlueRA

Yep they do



Peccy, Been told any scooby can doughnut. Someone was tellin me how to at scoobyclinic a while ago

peccy

dunno dave, tried it many a time in my UK Turbo and just ended doing a power slide into bushes, with the DCCD its p*ss easy - even my L driver girlfriend can do them lol

Iwan

I tried it in my old UK turbo in a big field in the Isle of Man. I couldn't do a donut, best i could manage was a big circular powerslide. Fun though

Need DCCD...
