Tell you what I will do you a straight swop against my S202 in black 
I have essentially left the car as is but with some minor modifications - I have fitted a Zunsport lower grille to close the front end (not in pics), all the Defi gauges now sit in a Zerosports pod.
I have renewed the standard Japanese Hornet alarm with a proper Thatcham Cat 1 system, had a professional install of uprated Morel front speakers and rear speakers to follow in the new year.
I have had a Cosworth Kevlar timing belt and belt guide fitted and very shortly it will be having Performance friction brake pads plus new discs all round.
Oh and a TSL Green Hybrid Panel Air Filter, a custom made 100 cell sport cat and a remap with Bob Rawle on the 6th of December so it should be a little bit faster to boot.
In the spring I am going to have the wheels overhauled and a full detail done on the car as there is little point doing them at the moment with all the rubbish weather at the moment.
I would essentially leave your car as is with perhaps a remap and a steering geometry alignment as well.

I think the S202 came in yellow, blue, white I think
and black, although I think the yellow or black looks the best. I would keep the RA-R essentially as is and get hold of a JDM STi - modify and track that instead.

Sell it and get a Lotus Exige. Looks better, more fun on track in standard form. Wish I could afford one.
I'd only have the RA-R in white personally but as a road car I would pick the S204 over it all day long. The RA-R is a better track car but there are better track focused cars out there than the Impreza IMHO.

Got a minter ....one of the very last as it's on a 59 plate RA-R might scooter about in it and then sell but not sure. my plans are to turn it into a track monster or is it to good to be stripped of it's unique parts and turned into a race rocket?
Should i just go with a regular hawkeye ?
Things i want to do are wrc carbon pannels big bhp engine etc

Not got no interior pics as it's just the usual boring spec c interior. Unfortunately it's not got the STI genome gauges if i were to keep it i would of had those fitted along with a nice titanium exhasut decat down pipe cold air intake down the front wing bigger injectors to see it upto 400bhp/400ltb. would be the perfect road/track car can't see much touching it.
In standard form the ra-r was as quick as my old ra which had a decat full 3" exhaust system ecutek remap and cai 360bhp/380ltb
at oulton park this was more thenenough to see of evo 9's with 400/400.

She's been sold 
Probs for the best as i was ready to throw money at her which i was never going to get back. Had my eye on a new litcho turbo and a full titanium exhaust carbon fibre rear diffuser and a few other carbon bits also a flocked dash and steering wheel. I think it would of been the complete car then. O well will have to wait for the exchange rate to get better and maybe bring in a blue one

Took the words out my mouth mate. Will probs get another unless they do a half decent attempt with the hatch but even then it won't look as good as a hawkeye.
Forget spring mate give us a good price and i'll snap your hand off!

Some italian fella want's me to convert it to LHD to.
Out of the 4 ra-r's and s204's i bought over three including this one have found homes in europe and only 1 S204 resides with a current SN member.
Think a blue one is next on the cards as theres two white ones that litcho supplied in the uk.Think i'll have to wait a while tho as i found one with more or less delivery miles ,but at the current exchange rate would cost me £40,000 to get it here .
Alot of interest from europe at the moment with these cars as the £ is weak against the Euro.
