Off to look at a Spec C RA tomorrow, and want to make sure it is what the gentleman says it is. Model codes ( through some research) are the same as the Spec C, and the gentleman dose t have any evidence (as such) .i.e written on the log book that its an RA. What turbo, suspension (sti pink lateral/trailing arms?) should it have , and any other obvious signs other than a couple of stickers and badges?

Thanks all for any info
The main differences are the adjustable sti suspension, looking under the car it will have (or should have) pink sti parts, arb's etc, the wheels are enkei and very expensive silver ones, any other then walk away.
It should have the carbon fibre lip spoiler and boot spoiler, interior should be black.
Most of these should have a vx registration plate as they were mainly imported by Iain Litchfield.
There was one knocking around on ebay but that had been stripped of all the goodies, the rest will be as per a standard spec c

No probs Rob
If its the one that ive seen then it sure looks like an RA, has all the right bits and a litchfield import.
