Sorry Tony, he does state it has a roof vent, also you can see in pics

No dccd.

 

The car is not an ra.........Jayallen is correct.

 

Well you never know what extra's was ordered when new. Mine is a 94 WRX RA, Ive got the lightweight panels (bonnet, boot) but no roof vent, I dont have a IC Water Cooler but i do have A/con, Electrics, DCCD and a Close ratio short gearbox... Mine never had the pillow arial but a electric one in the boot, I to have changed the front end but kept the V1 bonnet but had V2 headlights fitted and a one off new grill made so it all fitted perfect.... Just a shame it came with the **** brakes..

 

No such thing as a lightweight boot fella. As for extras, both my WRX RA and STI RA also had aircon.

 

im sorry i was not aware that the boots was the same just mine feels alot lighter than my mates wrx and ive got a bigger spoiler fitted.. Also i thought the a/con was extra as ive seen anyone at a show without, Maybe he just removed it like i am for the front mount...

 

I was going off the white one
Other one looks like a v-ltd though

Tony

 

FMIC fits fine with the aircon fitted, no need to remove it.

 

Genuine Type RA....

Not an RA, and oh dear, the owner covered it in superglue and drove through halfords, one to steer clear of!

My rally car was a MY93 WRX RA with GC8-A47D
It had a pillar aerial, 5th injector, non painted inlet manifold, manual windows etc. so the white one is a WRX RA - its NOT an STi.

The 2nd one is a Version 2 STi 555 ltd. edition - its NOT an RA

 

Oh i never knew that. I know someone who had to remove his to fit it... Lets hope i can keep the aircon for the hot days (Joke)

 

welcome to the RA minefield

there are many a myth about the ra,
i to found this out when i brought my 93 wrx type ra,I have finally got all my facts correct on them due to one siteType-RA.co.uk - Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA, Impreza WRX STi Type RA, Impreza Type RA V Limited, Scooby V. Ltd, visit the WRX forum & Subaru forum
and since have built my own impreza info site SUBARU IMPREZA TYPE RA - impreza type ra .com

have a look mate there are plenty of helpfull ra owners on both sites,

great impreza to own imo the rawest of all the imprezas, the earlier the year the closer the final drive will be the early versions reach about 120mph as the years go on the 5th got slightly longer allowing upto 150+ but still with the same great acceleration from the close ratio box.

enjoy which ever model you own you will not be disappointed

regards nathan.

hello rooferman nice to see you again yesterday even if it was brief that was some 0-60 time mate,RA all the way!!!!

 

I will he a look thanks....

 

Yes mate........shocked myself....

If only Andy gallagher hadn,t entered and got a 2.61....

Will see you at the xmas meet..

Adam

 

The first thing you want to do with a Type RA is get on your hands and knees and have a look under the B@stard! mines rusted with having no under seal

 

no you wont you will see me at manby mate on the 20th if you are going

regards nathan

 

Chips!!!

 

Bought the blue RA STI, loving it, really nice and standard apart Cobra 3" full system and Green panel filter

 

Which one


Shaun

 

This one mate!


Such a fresh air to drive being standard, think maybe some Tein lowering springs and brakes, as the 2 pots are a bit weak! Loving it though

 

You do know the car is not an Ra......


Looks very clean and un-molested.....

 

Main give away. RA`s dont have a rear wiper.

 

Oh, never mind

I checked out while viewing, with 2 well known sources off here, and both seemed happy with it being a STI RA VII, applied model GC8C4ED, roof vent,i/c spray,quick rack,cdb ect.

Either way i am very happy with what i paid for it, and its originality and most of all, the guy i bought it from had an impeccable port folio, and was a perfectionist

 

Seriously though guys, i am not questioning how well educated you lot are (compared to me) with the minefield of variants, but i did do a wee bit of research, link below shows a v-ltd with rear wiper
www.Subaru-Impreza.de - Special Editions of the Impreza Turbo worldwide - P1 - 22B - WR1 - Prodrive Style - Electra One - S201 - S202 - S203 - S204 - S205

 

It is a sti 555 v-limited. An sti ra model code would end DD and not ED. Does it have DCCD?.

Eta Tauri Site Impreza Reference - WRX Frenzy

 

The model code makes it a 555 edition.

 

No DCCD!

Cheers guys for input and help

 

nice car, not RA.
have fun with it though
I have a version 2 sti RA.

 

This should help you.

Yours is this one: http://www.type-ra.co.uk/MY96_STi.pdf

No matter what it is, it looks good fella.
