1993 Type Ra, Apexi mapped
Regretful sale of my Impreza, due to redundancy.
If you are unsure what differences there are between the bog standard WRX and type RA, have a look at type-ra.co.uk where there is lots of spec information.
Mine had the optional E/W, C/L and A/C fitted when new.
It was imported in Sep 2004 and was totally standard. I am the first UK owner after the importer and have used the car as a weekend toy, always warmed up/cooled down properly and never tracked.
Mot until Nov
Tax until Sep
@ 120 K showing on clock. It had 107K Klms on import when it was converted/delimited. So around 80 K miles in total.
Full decat exhaust with 3" 5Zigen centre and backbox
4 pot brakes
Powerstation wheel alignment
255 LPH fuel pump
The car was fully serviced by importer. I have carried out numerous engine oil changes. The coolant, gearbox & diff oils were changed about 4 months ago. It starts, drives and stops as it should.
Apexi PFC, AVCR and induction kit now being removed from car, this is still a much better car than a standard wrx with the close ratio box and stronger block and is a bargain at the price. I will consider px/swap.
£3500
I'm based in S Wales just off the M4 and viewing is welcome, I am willing to deliver the car for the travelling costs.

Can't believe no one has snapped up this car with the spec . Bearing in mind these cars are rapid as standard. If i could afford two RA's i'd buy it mate. Good luck with the sale

Yep, its a buyers market im afraid! It's got the right mods and its a very good example of an early classic. It's looking more and more like I'll have to take the Apexi gear off and sell as standard, which is a shame because the car's flying at the moment. Sure you cant run 2 Ra's?

Having the same problem mate, my ra is more or less the same spec as yours and no one seems interested. I had one call last night of a guy who said it was to far to travel and could I do the 7 hour round trip so he could view it...told him to f@@k off.

STI Type RA's came with roof scoop not WRX RA's. Wish i could afford to run 2 RA's Steve . Running cost of mine alone are killing me . Whoever buys this car looks like there in for a good deal.

Steve if you do remove the power fc let me know how much your after mate . Does it come with the commander? Hopefully you should get a sale with her as she is.

My next scoob would definately have all the work done to it by the last owner.

Cracking looking car mate - if I wasn't blowing most of the budget on a 6 speed conversion for mine I'd be over to look at it as a second RA
Good Luck with sale.
