Yes but Paul EVERYBODY knows that car was only fast because it was SOOOOOO lightweight

Anyway, you've just made it slower so far

1170kg with fuel so I am told.

Should be 1100kg dry for TOTB with luck.

a bit more than what it is I guess

P1 is 1295kg on the spec sheet, but it has heavier brakes, wheels, aircon, airbags, electrics and so on. UK is something like 1250 but no a/c. WRX is supposed to be 1235 with a/c but the lightweight panels. I think an RA is supposed to be about 1170kg dry, but that's with the Aluminium bootlid and no spoiler (mine is steel with mid spoiler).

I guess it was swapped complete for a UK 99/00 one with spoiler, or just replaced with whatever was available.

That was the bootlid it came with it looked original ? My type R also has a steel bootlid. Are you sure they all have alloy ones fitted as std ?
