is yours a black evo3 on swapz?

 

yes mate

 

Well he thinks it's an RA, personally if they have no clue to what they own I avoid.

Tony

 

Did it come from leeds? cos i got offered that for my 1998 uk turbo. didnt have nothing about the clutch on its way out?

 

the evo or scooby mate , if you mean mine its from halesworth in suffolk , not the other black one on there from wolves j

 

does say ra on the back , peaple dont normally stick them on (just sti stickers ) j

 

Never seen a black RA

 

what defines an ra , is it no electric windows and?
then ill ask him if his has it cheers j

 

It says electric windows in the ad

 

RA's dont have rear wash wipers

Tony

 

that does not look like an RA to me.

 

its not an RA as its got the rear wash wipe and pretty sure they didnt have the side skirts, but if you read the listing i think its a wrx thats had an RA/sti engine put in

 

RA came without skirts, without AC, without electric windows, steel wheels, no rear spoiler, non colour coded door handles, no central locking, No rear wiper and a few other bits that I can't think of off the top of my head.
HOWEVER,,,
All the above were available on an RA as options. It's very rare to find a TRUE RA as it was designed. Most people who bought an RA new would have wanted Things like AC and electric windows.

 

Yes there were alot of options but its still not an RA the rear wiper wasn't on that list

Tony

 

Sorry, wasn't saying it was an RA, it's obviously not.
Don't think RA came in black anyway, could be wrong though.
I'm actively searching for a completely original STI RA in white, hard to come by.

 

Its not an RA if got wiper on back window! He also says it is a WRX and STi. an M reg RA will be WRX and will be closed deck. The STi is the open deck with the DCCD control by the handbrake.

I dont ever recall an RA in black either.

You can get RA's with EW and AC but they are options as mentioned. No side skirts on an RA and could have been added but why someone would add side skirts to an RA is beyond me

RA's do have rear spoiler - early WRX have a low one and the later STi's have the slightly taller one fitted

Ask him if it is closed or open deck and ask him for the GC8 code - that will tell you if true RA or not.

About time we had a Type RA forum on here

 

Is he not just saying that it has a type RA engine?

 

one in the for sale section buddy, £3500
only got 38k on it

 

what kind of deal were you thinking for the evo mate?
