Thumbs up

RA's are all imports IIRC.

Follow this link to view all types of Jap import spec's.

You'll find that most Jap imports come with a/c except the RA.

WRX RA
The type RA is along similar lines to the type R but is 4 door and goes even further and misses out a few more bits and pieces to make it ready for conversion into the ultimate rally car. No underseal, rear wing, radio-cassette, electric windows, cheaper seats and loss of sound deadening materials from the cabin. Before 1997 the engine was also a lot stronger than the other models due to being closed deck sand cast (i.e. individually cast rather than die cast) and can take much more modification. This is the engine of choice for the serious tuners and also includes an extra injector! Strangely up until recently it was only 260PS (256bhp) but this is because most standard STi items would be thrown away in any upgrade.

Before 1997 this was the vehicle used as the donor vehicle for the Group N and Group A rally cars. It is interesting to note that Prodrive switched from using this verhicle and went over to use the 2 door for both Group N and WRC cars up until the introduction of the New Age car.


WRX RA STi
The WRX RA STi is an RA with the higher output STi engine with water spray and a better interior.
