Could someone tell me what a RA V LTD is, and aR TYPE, if i have this correct.

 

a sti type r is a two door sti with 280bhp usual sti bits including intercooler spray and manual cental diff.
the sti type ra is a four door sti that has roof vent, manual central diff, intercooler spray and in some cases a closed block 300bhp engine (spec varies slightly between years). if it is a v-ltd is will have electric windows and air con.
these are the basic differences but spec will vary slightly on some models (eg some may have abs but no diff control). there is also a wrx ra (not sti) which was made to be stripped for rallying and had 260bhp, basic interior no air con and manual windows
