Talking as title people

doesn't have to be damaged, but it keeps down the mucho cheapness needed to buy it

lee scooby
if you then add the price of an engine and gearbox onto that, your getting to £5000, which while i reckon is an excellent deal, it's more than i intended to pay, but if you give me more details about, i could be up for it. like is the wiring loom still there, what about rear diff and driveshafts???

will be giving you a phone tomorrow to discuss this a bit further

dont understand the point off this thread if you can get one cheap why ask for a car?
you dont expect someone to give you one do you?

there not that cheap to import they still have value in japan if they are clean anything around 4-5k you get what you pay for

i'm not putting it on the road so therefore i can take the sh1ttest one outthere. not putting what you have to offer down bud. i appreciate you offering it to me, thanks. but i'm a tight git and don't care what shape it's in not expecting one for nothing, but i've seen the prices of them over in japan and i'm sure it won't cost me 5k to get it over here in total?

you can get either an sti ra or a wrx ra. wrx ra is just a lighter wrx with different bits missing, as is an sti ra, but with "special" bits added, just like other sti's

this clear it up a bit?

O i know you can get a RA version in both i.e. WRX STi RA and WRX RA but is the RA version a little better or not as good respectively cos in both cases the RA version is always cheaper.

Now one STi that really tickles my fancy is the V-limited, now whats so special about this apart from the toggle scoop.

the v-limited is just an ra with bits put back on. like buying an m5 with all the bits like cruise control and stuff, but then having bmw replace ones that you want on it. the reason ra's are cheaper....or should be, is they don't have all the bits you normally get. ac, elecy windows, sound deadening and the likes.
