Default Sold the WRX Type RA and bought this.

An STI Type RA...















Pretty much standard looking apart from crystal lights...But it does have a brandnew Afterburner turbo back system and Simtec management with antilag and launch control...

I will miss this old girl tho....

This car came up at a good price so i sold the WRX RA to mate and bought this, it has more scope for tuning.

Is your MAF disconnected

The only real difference being the different turbos, The VF23 on the STI comes in alot quicker than the TD05 on the WRX and the gear selection in the WRX is alot tighter than on the STI.
They are both running about the same kind of power too and both being relatively low miles..WRX@46k and the STI@55k the drive is equally good in both...no clunks bangs etc.

Were soon see which is the quickest tho, my mate now owns the WRX RA and were off to Rotorstock at Santapod in the morning
