Is this thread still going

I had mine insured on LV.

Did anyone sort out a Type R owners Register/mini Club?

 

insured mine through warwick davis, quite good with mods too

 

Tesco's and they're fine with mods too.

And no, no one ever sorted out a specialist (cos we are arent we?) club for the discerning scoob owners

I'm with Admiral, Much cheaper than all the others I tried.

 

Elephant. £50 more than a-plan but a lot less excess to pay. Think it was about £980. Just turned 27, only 1 yrs no claims, everything declared..........2.5?

 

That is very good with the 2.5. mine is about the same..

 

29, few mods, link etc £750, ltd mileage,

 

Didn't think any insurers would entertain a 2.5 conversion(& supporting mods) without "taking your eyes, then comming back for the sockets."

 

I think your misunderstanding what i was implying....

P.S. New paddle clutch and flywheel in the post. Car should be going into see Gav at Wallace on the 29th to get fitted and alignment done, so with a bit of luck out on the 29th and ready for Aberdeen meet on the Tues, for once!

 

.......

 

A-plan will trust me, aslong as you fit their criteria.

A mate of mine has a recently imported TypeR V4 Vltd.
Two things which are possibly not right, can any of you lot help?
Firstly it has no central diff control and secondly it has ABS.
Thoughts please and apologies for busting in on this thread.

It wont be an STI Type R, Just the WRX Type R Still nice though

 

Thanks, Must admit I did not know that Subaru made a WRX type R let alone such things as Vltd versions.
Anything else to look at ie: sliding rear calipers or 2 pots, alloy bottom suspension arms etc ? Obviously should not have a red top engine

 

Is this one then. It is my car and dont really know what it is and i always thought is was an RA. Some people say its a type R some say RA ?

 

Honestly mate, Im not lying... its a WRX Type R.

Type R's are much cooler than the RA... its a 2 door.

 

The only reason im asking is because some people are saying its an ra and some an r.
Think i might start a poll and see what wins R or RA

 

Just found this for you...

Model List

And this

and this one too!



Jeff

 

Now im more confused. this was off the second site you listed


"09/97
WRX type R V-Limited
GC8E27D
280
Manual

Special edition 2 door RA"

Acording to that its and ra and an r

 

Bonkers!

Anyway, in my books, its a Type R. If you want to call it an RA, it doesnt really matter. Still a top motor!

Actually, if you look on the Ravensblade website, they have an email address incase you have any model questions. Might be worth a quick email and ask if they can shed any light on it?

 

I just want to know 100% what it is

 

Ring Subaru in Japan, thats surely the only way of being 100%

 

The RA has 4 doors and the R has two doors, usually if it's a V-LTD model it will have a roof vent and maybe a plaque on the dash although as far as I know, no STi5 Type R V-LTD had plaques fitted.

 

my STi5 Type R V-LTD has no plaque fitted



ps do any of you use esso energy supreme with miller's in your type r,only the nearest shell garage to me has just shut and there is an esso one near?

 

If I cant get Optimax I use Esso Supreme. I get more det with other fuels.

 

i need to know if it's safe guys, it will save time and money
