Are the type RA worth more?
I have recently bought a type RA and im thinking i paid over the odds! Are they worth more? if so why? also how do i know for sure its an RA?
Its a 1993 but was imported in 2000. Has no central locking, no electric windows/mirrors, no abs and keeps up with a 2002 sti thats been played with?
some pic's

RA's were the cheapest cars of the breed sold at that time because they had so much missing ........ umpteen years later it's condition and exclusivity that add value 
Does yours have a dash mounted intercooler spray switch?

IIRC the RA was the only car with a dash mounted spray button........so I guess it's an RA with a few bits changed. 
Rooferman is right, your MY RA came in red and white, there are so few red ones about the urban myth is that they didn't actually make any red ones LOL
Some later versions came in white only
How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking..........for some strange reason I seem to recognise the car.

If I remember correctly, the red ones were version 1 only (possibly 2 also) and didnt have a rear spoiler.... certainly not that one, thats a Version 3 spoiler.

Chassis code... GC8.... the plate's on the nearside suspension turret.
Certainly sounds/looks like an RA.
As for the boot, someone's probably butchered an undrilled one.

g7prs.............the STi cars came after the first WRX RA's
There were no version 1's of anything as they didn't know there was going to be any other versions LOL It should have red/black interior, Nardi steering wheel and gear ****, no fogs or covers, no sills, no maplight, no spoiler........etc but strangely enough as TinyTim says you could specify aircon LOL
Post the applied model number or look on the SIDC site. Avoid the catherine and ken site as it's a bit flakey LOL
