good choice my son!! i have one myself with a few nice bits, White with gold advan rg lightweight rims.. its just a fast *** car, 0-60 is unreal, 4.3secs but ul never do that, its as quick as u get, i dont drive mine over 100mph, not made for it

 

ive actually seen a white one for sale i like

what is the top speed on them ? do they have a short ratio box hance the good acceleration ! but i take it they aint got much top end ?

ideally i could do wwith 155-160 top end ! but i suppose if the 0-60 is around 4.3 i can bite me lip with the loss at the top end

just had an insurance quote on 1998 sti type r 2dr.

My Ek9 civic type r is 780 and the sti is 967

so im very impressed !

 

Why not i got my standard STi 4 type R to 60 in 4.1 and it happily runs at 100+ with the taller 5th gear

 

What you planning to do with 155-160?

 

If you want a 150mph monster don't buy a Type R, infact don't buy a subaru. Get yourself an M3 or similar!

These cars aren't designed for top speed.

 

my matres got a version 4 sti 4 dr and his absolutelty flys top end ! ive witnessed the speedo showing 150, i think hes had it reading close to 160mph! although i also dont know how far out the speedo is.

not too keen on m3's

fancy a nice rare 2dr scoob

bottom end is most important i guess anyway !

we use the local bybass loads of people do to play

think the record is a mates 300zx he videoed dopin 180mph the nutter !

 

Best of all you get to have fun with no abs.....and bite back handling from the dccd.Truely a raw model to start scooby ownership with

Good luck.

 

Thats the best fun

 

gulp .... no abs ? what is dccd ?

i didnt realise it was a bit of an animal.

i just prefere the look of the 2dr and this was the model i came across...

 

There is also a non sti variant wrx type r which has the abs and no dccd.....
driver controled centre differential....not many around though.

 

SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 WRX STi Type R Version 4 , 2 Doors, Manual 5 speed, Coupe, Petrol, R Reg , White. Power Steering, Central Locking, Electric Windows Electric Mirrros, Air COn, Alloy Wheels, Hi-Level Rear Spoiler, Rear Privacy Glass, Stainless Steel Exhaust,Auto Intercooler Water Spray, Central Diff Controller,

is the last bit that cddc you were on about ?

whats it do?

 

Best thing you can do is a search in the Drivetrain forum.type in dccd into search and you will find posts from John Felstead covering the topic.

 

Thats where i go for info on it.........

 

dont understand it... oh well. doubt its that important !

whats 1/4 mile on the version 4 type r ?

and do they have HID lights std ?

 

Dunno about a standard version 4 1/4 mile but I did a 12.9 in my version 5 when it was still standard.

Oh, and no HID's.

 

Another option for 2 doors is the P1.
Doesnt have dccd, does have abs.
Suspension and gearbox ratio changes by Pro-drive.
Classed as a UK car, I think insurance is cheaper (best check)
0 - 60 in 4.7 ish, top speed 155 but best not to go there for very long,
110 -130 sustained is ok.
1000 made all sonic blue, which is a major draw back if you want a white one.

 

DCCD is quite important m8, it allows you to alter the power bias front/rear. This enables you to have more oversteer/understeer, depending on the road and what mood your in!
Impreza's, in general, understeer from the factory. The type r is the only classic that has dccd. So, as I said, it is quite important, and is one of the main reasons a lot of people buy the type r.
Regarding top speed, the type r has a final drive speed ratio of 19mph/1000rpm. So with a 8250rpm limit, the top speed (before you run out of revs) would be 19x8.25 = 156.75mph. This compares to the 4 door equivilent sti which has 22mph/1000rpm giving 181.25mph. This speeds are only theoretical, but give you an idea of how they would be on th motorway for example!
I have a 4 door sti 4. I find that quite hardcore, so you really have really got want a type r, especially if you intend to use it everyday.

oh right. sounds like the type r can be really good fun then just how much power can u set to the rear wheels ?

couple of yrs ago i took me mates grey 2 dr out for a spin, dunno what model it was , and by god when i floored it exiting a roundabout it just did go sideways

always had a soft spot for the 2dr ! Type r does now seem best option !

pics of people type r's plz ???

 

Go to the members gallery and search for 'type r'. Loads in there. I think you can put up to 65% to the rear wheels. Most imprezas are 50:50. Just out of interest, have you had any insurance quotes yet?

 

yes ! directline who im with ! i paid 780 on my ek9 civic. they said the 2dr sti type r version 4 will be 967 on a new policy

well chuffed with that quote !


cant get the search option work when i try for type r

 

how come me mates 4dr version 4 had HID's ? can they be added at a later date then ? if so how much? his headlights look mint!

 

Sti type r is not the only classic to have dccd

 

Is this a public UK road that you do those speeds on?

 

Here's mine..

Its called the P1

Different suspension 'springs', but I think that the struts and gearbox were lifted straight from the 4 door STI (If someone want to chek the gearing). Wiring loom was taken from a later 5 Door UK car, to get the rear wash wipe and UK indicator controls. ECU Map is stansdard STI , with enhanced Knock sensitivity (as confirmed by a number of mappers).

 

Just checked my earlier statement, no mention of Prodrive changing gearbox ratio's so must have dreamt that.

With regard to suspension changes Prodrive simply say they tried 22 different spring/damper combinations and settled on "specific Prodrive-developed spring, damper and geometry settings".
