At a guess I'd say an early RA, certainly not a Type R nor a 22B.

They were a fair bit heavier than that, your talking under 1200kg though, in the high 1100kg's, will have to find the exact figures.

1170kg, its in the top left of the specs http://www.type-ra.co.uk/images/MY_93_brochure.jpg

lol, that's way off the mark, it's even a struggle to fully strip one and get it under 1000kg.

It wont weigh that, look at the link I put up, it has the weight on it for a 93 wrx ra, and its heavier than 1150kg

Default SCOOBY WEIGHTS.

It does weigh that, its been corner weighted on a set of very accurate scales. But it does have things like different suspension, fully plumbed in fire system, bigger brakes, 17" wheels etc etc.

Are these figures given dry weights or not? Alot of figures given by manufactures when they are claiming light weights will be dry, no fuel water, or oils etc.

Out of those 3 it has to be the RA.

I'd expect a 1.6 GL Impreza to be the lightest though.

Tony
yes tony but curb weight means with all fluids and a full tank of fuel........

so in theory if your guy above had only 1/4 tank fuel, yes he has a cage that adds weight but no sound proofing and rear seats removed then he is more than likely right
