Well, my TypeR ownership has ended after 3years




But I do still have a variable centre Diff






If only they had continued making 2 door cars..

This has been a good thread, and it wont be long before its gets 100,000 hits!

But I do think that someone needs to start a TypeR owners club!!!

 

i couldnt agree more, lets keep this thread running, there must be tons more type R's out there, where are all the folk that have rung me looking to buy mine, but bought blue ones instead????

i would be honoured to join a Type R owners club.

 

typr r owners meet somewhere i reckon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That would be good!

 

how about in herefordshire!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just spent the afternoon fitting Tein S Tech -30mm springs only to find its the same ride height as it was on the old Sti springs WTF.

 

you will most probably find that they are meant to lower a WRX by 30mm,the STI must already have a lower stance,by the way i used APEX-i on mine,check out the pics a few pages back

I phoned Tein this afternoon and they say they test them on the Sti s mine must have aftermarket suspension was what he said. The suspension on the car is all Pink with Sti stamped on it though.

 

just picked my sti v4 type R up tonight, had a good couple of hours out in it and i have to say.....wow!

the car just feels so nimble and it changes direction so much better than my 4 door one did.

it just doesn't have the power of my old car but that is something that can be sorted

 

Nice and clean!

Big flaps!

De-tango'd

Hi all, just thought I'd post a few pics of my Type-Rrrrr. Its now up for sale over in the forum at http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?p=4469106 if anyone is interested. Cheers

 

Hol,


Is that Bob Rawle's old scooby?

 

Mine is likewise





I saw on the Japan STi site, that this suspension was classed as 'spec C', this was of course for the MY00 and before the Spec C car available now.

 

was for a type-R forum, I agree there should be one, but then agin there is the P1 owners club where there a fairfew type R boys, simular threads as they are 95% the same car with the same issues.

 

Yup, good spot

Now you know why I went newage.


Regards an owners club, I alway felt we lost out a bit at big meets. The RB5's would all park together as would the P1's but we all seemed to scatter about.

It just wants a boy of organisation at every meet to get all the cars together and then it will become automatic.

 

All for that

 

 

Good choice

How does it compare to the Type R? Much difference in speed and handling?

 

jas gtr very nice

 

It feels wider, if that is possible??

My old R had fantastic handling as the previous owner spend lots of mony setting it up for the Nurburgring. It had ledas, APS and uprated bushes all round. The times I have taken it on the track it was very good and I just got used to that.

The new car is standard JDM STI9 suspension with upper and lower strutbraces. Its good, but not as good. Hopefully some new drop links, bushes, ALK and rollbars will sort it out.

Drivetrain wise the Autodiff is quite nice, although you can feel the front and rear diffs 'bunny hop' on some low speed tight corners. And of course when driven hard you get that dirty sock smell from the centre diff

 

I'd be up for joining a Type-R owners club!

Genuine yellow STI ver3 - is there any more knocking about?

 

Jas GTR,, what rim size do you have and whats your suspension setup, the car look phat! how's the ride quality since dropping it?

 

Type R Owner's Club sounds like a good idea
