Default Back to a classic! Again!

Well, the hawkeye WRC rep had to go due to an impending house move and has now started its new life in a Subaru Dealers showroom in Denmark!

Even though i had to release some funds for the new house and extension a la Bez! i couldnt be with out a scoob, so decided i wanted a cheap classic as a project for over the winter and ebay came up trumps with this little belter...

1995 WRX STi Type RA....



Needs some TLC and a clutch, but seems a perfect base with the following mods all ready present...

Full Roll Cage with Map Lights
17" Rota Alloys
Upgraded 4 Pots
Front & Rear Strut Braces
Anti Lift Kit
Chassis H Brace

Plus the usual toys....

DCCD
Roof Scoop
5th Injector
Close Ratio Gear Box

Pretty much standard engine wise, but that will soon change!

1st Job is a facelift and some touch ups, plus hopefully some ABW arches and some silly wide 18 Rota drifts!.

Got most of the parts to start, still looking for some 6 pots and a set of coilovers if any body is selling?

Isn't a myth about 5th injector,as in its there on the intake but not actually active ?
I know a man with some 6 pots but I need to have a chat with him first

App they are normally in active or dormant m8, or at least that seems the general opinion on typera.co.uk.
