I may well be trading up to RA-R hopefully .. See how the funds are after my wedding,, so keep your eye out for mine as I'll be striping out the goodies
Nice! I've got a catted downpipe atm, going to change that and have it mapped up. Not sure what power it'll make, but should be a bigger amount with the current mods and it's mild tune.
What do you think of the car overall?
Peedee, you'd drive past me to get to Camberley. I'm near J6 M25.

Just remember it's veryyyy loud with a full decat lol , the car is excellent , certainly the best Impreza I've owned not as raw as people say though although When I first bought it , it had cusco coilovers on handled like nothing else but to harsh and low , they where removed as its my daily

Mines on ohlins coilovers at the moment, it handles amazingly but is very harsh. Mine only being a weekend toy doesn't bother me too much though.
My next mod is fitting the braided brake and clutch lines that Hel have provided me with.
What boost levels are you guys running? I'm not sure what the stock pressure is.
Am I right in saying the wheels are shadow chrome as standard but there is an option of them in anthracite? I stumbled across a website with the Japanese brochure and showed the wheels in both colours. Here's the image from the page.

i have to say this is one of my favourite imprezas.
great choice and amazing condition.
what does it drive like compared to the standard spec c?
Thanks mate . She's not perfect cosmetically but it's nothing I can't sort out. I bought it knowing the imperfections so I could spend time on it and correct the bits myself. Mechanically spot-on though
Unfortunately I've not driven a 'normal' spec C so I can't compare, but I have owned a lightly modified non-widetrack blob JDM STI.....the RA is streets ahead in terms of overall performance even in standard form (IMO).
I'm not sure having a tool kit in an ra is a good thing.
It's a lightweight version so it was deleted and surely you aren't going to put a spare wheel in an ra too.
My vag didn't even come with a spare wheel or tool kit and that's a diesel lol

Doesn't it?
Well I have too say I thought that was something deleted on the spec c cars
You need the tool kit on these as the wheel brace is 1 part of your jack winder and the RA on these models stand for record attemp not Rally altered maybe that's why you still get leccy window Cl AC etc

You learn something new everyday.
The ra and rar really do interest me a lot.
I'm sure these cars are going to go up in price in the future too.

They really are a league above the jdm standard model never mind the uk widetrack IMO in standard form that is obviously some big build cars will be better but not out the box, fancy a RA-r myself after owning this
