Well you never know what extra's was ordered when new. Mine is a 94 WRX RA, Ive got the lightweight panels (bonnet, boot) but no roof vent, I dont have a IC Water Cooler but i do have A/con, Electrics, DCCD and a Close ratio short gearbox... Mine never had the pillow arial but a electric one in the boot, I to have changed the front end but kept the V1 bonnet but had V2 headlights fitted and a one off new grill made so it all fitted perfect.... Just a shame it came with the **** brakes..

My rally car was a MY93 WRX RA with GC8-A47D
It had a pillar aerial, 5th injector, non painted inlet manifold, manual windows etc. so the white one is a WRX RA - its NOT an STi.
The 2nd one is a Version 2 STi 555 ltd. edition - its NOT an RA

welcome to the RA minefield
there are many a myth about the ra,
i to found this out when i brought my 93 wrx type ra,I have finally got all my facts correct on them due to one siteType-RA.co.uk - Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA, Impreza WRX STi Type RA, Impreza Type RA V Limited, Scooby V. Ltd, visit the WRX forum & Subaru forum
and since have built my own impreza info site SUBARU IMPREZA TYPE RA - impreza type ra .com
have a look mate there are plenty of helpfull ra owners on both sites,
great impreza to own imo the rawest of all the imprezas, the earlier the year the closer the final drive will be the early versions reach about 120mph as the years go on the 5th got slightly longer allowing upto 150+ but still with the same great acceleration from the close ratio box.
enjoy which ever model you own you will not be disappointed
regards nathan.
hello rooferman nice to see you again yesterday even if it was brief that was some 0-60 time mate,RA all the way!!!!

Oh, never mind

I checked out while viewing, with 2 well known sources off here, and both seemed happy with it being a STI RA VII, applied model GC8C4ED, roof vent,i/c spray,quick rack,cdb ect.
Either way i am very happy with what i paid for it, and its originality and most of all, the guy i bought it from had an impeccable port folio, and was a perfectionist
