best to check the chassie number, but by looking at the engine, it doesnt look like a sti

 

Version 6 is MY00 isn't it?

 

yup

Banny

 

Well that's a MY99 on a V plate.

 

Well a late V plate would be classed as a V6 or MY00, also the MY99 did not have the blue instrument face or blue console panel. The version 6 only had these bits and the reason i know is because my brother Maz (einstein ra) had a V6!

I dont think that its an STI, but to be sure you need to check the applied model number.

I wouldn't listen to a anything that bubba says!

 

Oooops bit of computer lag and impatience....

 

Its a WRX, looks like the red line starts at 7k, no IC water spray, no quick rack sticker in the rear window, were the intercoolers also not silver on the STI? no roof vent, has ABS so no DCCD, also no oil cooler by the looks though you would need a better picture than that to be sure, the cooling system should be all STi also (and not red top engine)

I think you got a little over-excited and carried away on that other thread, Chris. It was actually myself I was referring to when I put "note to self"

I have to say, I wasn't actually aware that version 6's came with a coloured dash inlay, which begs the question why the seller believes his car to be a 1998 (Ver 4/5).

 

he says it says its an sti on the log book and thats his reason for advertising it as one.

its just a wrx though..

 

It's not even an RA, it has air con and no roof vent for a start.

WRX engine, no dccd or water spray.

That is a common or garden variety wrx import..

Dave

 

It is an ra.......just a non sti version.

The version 5/6 wrx ra do not have dccd or waterspray or a roof vent.

 

Spot on!

Banny,

We've actually started a dedicated section of the site on www.type-ra.co.uk to clear up listings such as this.

This car was added a few days ago here:

do the sti's have 4 pots?
that looks like its got 2 pots (assuming thats a front wheel shot)

 

Yes the v5/6 sti version of the ra range come with four pot fronts and twin rears..

 

My RA has A/C, it was an option

 

Although they do exist, Ive never seen a Type-RA that didnt have simple air-conditioning optioned.

 

thats a wrx type ra wrc limited. wrx with blue seats and dash and not much else. Recently sold a similar car. Has no 4 pots but does run a rollerbearing turbo and 440's
