Default RA Questions

Do the STI V3 RA's (imports) come with tein adjustable suspension and a kaki moto rear silencer as standard ?

My dads just imported one and we have been told that these where standard item s , im thinking otherwise we need to know if they are or not for the SVA test .

Its a 1996 version 3 STI RA

Thanks guys - LEE

yes but they need to be swapped on v3's for v2 spec stuff.

despite the extra value of my stuff, i'm prepared to swap it all for my stuff, and for this service i take -- no charge!!

i await your response avidly.








lucky bugger.

This would only be relevant for a 1997 onwards vehicle.

'95 vehicle - 10 years old is the threshold for SVAs.

I dont really know what your point there is; the vehicle in question is a 1996 V3 STI which will need an E-SVA but it wont need a Model Report / comparison test, so the advice to re-fit standard parts was incorrect.

technically an SVA should only be passed by a factory spec car, but in reality......

hi there i have a 96 sti v3, when i got it sva'd i had to change the steering, alloys, exhuast and remove the spoiler as it was not a factory fit item. the suspension i would leave because mine has gab coilovers and the sva inspector did ask me to change them. hope this helps
