I personally think it looks good, just needs wider wheels and change the headlights for standard crystals imho.

Simon, if you are happy with the car thats all that matters dude. Its your hard earned money that paid for it so you do what makes YOU happy mate.
Thankyou!! Finally a comment with no bantering in haha!

Cheers dude and very happy, not sure about crystals vs angel may have to photoshop them in to get a feel and decide

In fact saying that you'd probably be better suited to the top end of the Chav game - a corsa with 20in wheels sounds appropriate.

What a ******* hero! Well done mate, hope you made yourself feel better despite your ***** size.

What the hell does it matter in the grand scheme of things? If you dont like it, fine... he didnt ask for your opinion did he? Go and worry about your own cars and SERIOUSLY... get a life!

My old pulsar gti-r was registered as a gt only on the log book. My 1994 RX7 was registered also as a 1998 on log book, different in 2 places. The dvla make a lot of mistakes so I wouldn't go by the log book.

i was there when it was imported - this isnt just some second hand jap import from years back - it was imported by myself and a friend via jap performance

well i dont know why that is but its definitely an RA without a shadow of a doubt - and as for the registration thats completely screwed as it comes up as a legacy on insurance companies database.

it has an alloy bonnet, it has a dccd box, it has quick rack steering - its an RA regardless of what your saying

sorry i know i had you quoted in that, but it wasnt directed at you - applogies - it was only that first para that was in reply to you

i've just answered this question a few times now lol and just generally pee'vd with attitude of some people on this site (not yourself) - its no wonder so many individuals of the other scooby forums only have bad things to say about this site.. they were completely accurate as well!

yea and so what, i had a uk 2000 that looked identical to your RA, so how about i suggest to you that yours is not an RA an instead a UK 2000 - im not being bitchy, but just outlining the fact that these are old cars and people change them over the years and theres lots of different variations

never said anything about a uk model, think yer better off with another fourm mate as your attitude stinks, i was only trying to help, ill keep the rest of what i think about the car to myself as the comments were only telling you what u have is not an ra, its a jap import wrx.

whats with the big deal about it being an ra or not anyway, just the crappy attitude when folk are just trying to help( ok some comments were a bit harsh)

Shut the door on the way out.
