Thought it would be easier to cut'n'paste from previous post. Even then there are differences between the v.ltd's (WRC) and the std type r's. Best wait for one of the other owners to come on and let you know the exact differences between a sti type r and an sti.

Think the main differences are the shell (2 door), and the drivetrain..different type diffs/ratios, different ratio gearbox (closer gearing) and the famous DCCD. (in car adjustable centre diff than controls the torque split from 35/65 to fully locked at 50/50. ).

 

in a nut shell then what is different, how is the type-r a better car? i guess the power is the same, what did subaru do to cahnge the normal sti to make it soo special

 

last part of above post...^^^^

Power is the same but due to the gearing it does 0-60 in around 4.1 secs, 0-100 around 9 secs but tops aout at around 145mph insteasd of the 155mph the sti will do. 2 door makes the shell a lot more ridgid. Its basically the same as an sti RA but with 2 less doors, dccd and some driver comforts like a/c, climate control, electric windows/mirrors etc....

 

You have to drive one back to back to make that comparison.

More smile for your money - basically.

And, a little more exclusivity over the 4 door cars, even the RA's and other specials.

 

Well how many people can I upset. I have just bought a VEr6STI Type R and given it to a rally car builder who has just removed everything to weld a cage into it and do his stuff to turn it into a rally car. I got some bits to get rid of interior bits mainly.

 

Not me. Thats what they were made for! Not going down to tesco's.

 

YEAH DOUG. thats what I thought when the guy sold it to me for £4000

 

Jesus! Has he got any more??!!!

 

how to ruin a type r

hello all, first time posting on this site, ive just bought my first scooby!!! shes a my98 type r standard apart from exhaust and apexi controlllers, unbelivable to drive but very wary of the horror stories!!!!!

 

What horror stories

 

Horror Stories

 

blown engines, blown engines and blown engines!!! people make them out to be made of chocolate, don't know much about them myself admittedly just keep hearin warnings from people! makes me a little paranoid at every noise and creak!

 

hi ive owned mine for about 18 months ive had a engine rebuild with uprated rods and pistons fmic full scoobysport system and decat 18 inch wheels which i am going to change for some compomotive mo,s i think, some lovley looking cars on this thread. i paid 7000 pound for my car with a blown maf sensor it is a 1999 car it was imported brand new by its one and only previous owner[IMG][/IMG]
if any one has any other ideas for wheels please come forward

 

Dont get MO's unless you want them just for looks. Apparently v.heavy wheels....

And welcome to the 'R' corner..

 

thanx for the welcome i was just juding by looks because i thought i made a mistake by buying the wheels that are on there at the moment i am now thinking more of motorsport wheel will suit what the car is about, also forgot to add in the spec soon to have gems fitted

 

Cant go wrong with oz-wrc's imo...

Leggera's can look quite smart aswell sometimes.....

 

sorry my pictures are in the normal gallery i didnt see this thread untill i had posted them on the normal gallery

have noticed one more post and you will have hit 1000

 

Soon to be mine



Going to put my 17" P1 anthracites on it, so that should look rather tasty

 

nice looking car p1 wheels should really suit it against the silver

 

Yeh i think so, going to swop them over for the gold ones

Took me bloody ages to get a set of P1 wheels so i aint letting them go

 

lovely looking car mate, very clean.
off topic has anyone here ever heard of this before? put my type r in dccd fully locked the other day facing downhill and it will actually stay without rolling with no brakes on or handbrake on? dont know if this has been posted before if so, apologies, just wondering is this normal? thanks

 

Well guys and girls, Im finally jumping ship, she's in the For Sale section and on Fleabay and this time she's def going....

I've loved every minute and feel privilaged to have owned one of the best Scoobs (IMO) ever built, only to be eclipsed (but only slightly ) by the
22b

Im really going to miss her but Im sure I'll be back in the not too distant future with another 2 door (wide bodied variety )

Here she is

Jeff.

 

Just make sure you post a few pics of the "wide bodied variety" when you get it... Best of luck with the sale!

 

on a simalar line the other day my son had knocked my dccd into lock and i didnt notice untill i went to move away from a tight parking space which required full lock of the steering, there was a cluck and the car was unwilling to move is this normal? or do i need to be worried about my diff?

 

The thing is Doug, I have another "wide bodied" car itch that needs scratching before I come back to Scooby land I'll still post pics up to show you guys whats been nagging away at me for about the last 6 months when I get it sorted.
