that what the jdm limited edition were called, as it a 2 door it will be a type R

to give its full title mine is

2000 Subaru Impreza WRX TYPE RA WRC LIMITED EDITION

 

yes,that looks like the plaque that was inside the car,has your car got the roof vent and DCCD?the car i looked at was a W reg,just gone through the super SVA,What sort of value would you put on it,

cheers
jon

 

You have to make the distinction between a WRX Type R and a WRX STI Type R, both had limited edition WRC models.

The STI version is superior in many ways: a WRX is taken by STI and modified. The engine is Blueprinted, has potential for more BHP and should be coloured red. The intercooler will be larger and also whilst under the bonnet should be a carbon strut brace.

The brakes, gearbox (will be a short shift close ratio) and suspension are uprated and if it's a type r there will be a DCDD as you say.

STI's will also have the rear three windows tinted, although any car can have tinted windows, this will be coloured glass, not a window film.

You say it's a W reg? Can you post the vin number as the exact model can be discered from this.

If you look at Type R corner under members gallery, you'll see a few V-LTD's.

 

Mine is a WRX Type RA (non-sti) but doesnt have the dccd but has abs. Power wise mine use to be inferior to the sti version .

 

That sounds right, they can't put ABS on cars with DCDD.

So you've done some mods?

 

Here's some pictures of my car last time I cleaned it.

 

thanks for all the info,ill try and get the chassis number tomorrow,see what it really is


cheers

Why can they do this now then? My 04 has both.

Why do people with version V/VI Limiteds insist on calling their car a V-Limited. Drop the V, they are just called Limited (older models were V-Limiteds). Look at the plaque above... see anything on their that says V-Limited?

Sorry, one of my many pet hates

Tony.

 

I didnt

 

yep, zorst, filter, fuel pump, remap, running 320-330bhp @ fly and 250bhp @ wheels

 

Changed the design so it can.

 

DCCD-A ...disengages when ABS kicks in

 

does anyone have an idea as to how much this car is worth,i am almost certain now that it is a,WRC LIMITED STI TYPE-R,VERSION 6 to give its full title,i think anyway

thanks
jon

 

Veru interesting!

Is a WRC STI RA just the same car as WRC STI TypeR except the number of doors?

 

Check your pm plz Jon

 

From the WRX Limited brochure version 6 my00 :

sedan : typeRA STi Version VI LIMITED
coupe : typeR STi Version VI LIMITED
sedan : typeRA Version LIMITED
wagon : STi Version VI LIMITED

thats the exact wording from the front cover of the brochure, iirc 1000 were made of each version.

 

I don't understand it either Tone, but the chassis code for my car (2000 MY G-series Sep 99-Aug00) states it is a: WRX Type R STi Version VI V-Limited

I'm not sure if the limited tag means there was a limited run of a thousand?

 

Nice m8. Just had mine re-mapped by AndyF. Car standard except for full decat and forge re-circ DV. 1st map without octane boost was giving out just short of 280BHP and I've ended up with 310BHP.

Andy said we could've squeezed another 10 out of it but I felt it was fast enuff for me.
