Bought my STI RA on Saturday from a member on here, Winker (Keith), and am delighted with my purchase.

Only been driving her for a few days but love her much better than my GT4.

Must say a big thanks to Winker, a genuine bloke who is as honest as the day is long, and the car is a minter!!

Time to change my username now I think

 

Congrats! im still waiting to get my hands on one

 

pics?

 

Here's a couple of pics, I will get more later. Let me know what you lot think

 

 

i like it, got that 'recce car' look that i reckon classics especially things like the RA suit best

 

pfffffff, it's ok i guess...











Nerr, it's lovely looking motor. The GT4 will be a memory of the past quite quickly.

 

very nice, dont be playing with that dccd until you understand it though, or it will end it tears

 

Hahaha aye i'm leaving that alone like its on the very bottom most setting now (open is it?) and thats the way its staying.

 

Good choice fella...

Baz, set in Open is where the fun is...65% of the power to the rear...enjoy..

 

Cheers for the advice mate, I really have no idea whatsoever about the DCCD so just left it on open cos I didn't wanna break anything!

Is that the best setting for every day driving?

 

Nice RA mate

Since buying my V3 STI RA I can't stop smiling

I leave the dccd in the second from bottom green for everyday and the first orange in icy/sleety weather

 

I never take mine out of open diff, its fun in this weather with the budget tyres i have on at present..

 

Yes. If its really wet turn the dial to the first yellow and remember not to try to manouvre at low speed unless its fully open or it WILL go bang! The basic rule is the more forwards you turn the dial the less oversteer and the more prone to understeer the car will be. Be careful in the wet especially around tighter bends and on roundabouts. However with practice and on a drift or race track its sooooo much fun....

 

Ok cheers for the advice. Think i'll leave it on open for now and have a bit fun!! Must say i'm really suprised at just how good this car is.

 

Glad you listened to all the good advice mate....i see you got a good one too ....good luck with it

 

Good stuff mate, I see after all my advice about STi's.............you went and bought one anyway

Seriously though, if I were to have a classic sti ( and she'd learn to drive and get a car of her own), it'd defo be an RA. If your gonna do it, do it right!!! Top man!!

All the very best with it.

 

Nice car mate
Im waiting on my ver4 sti ra arriving from japan and cant wait

Gus

 

Is that one from Cheshire ? I think I spoke to winker at a Burger Van in Knutsford, I was on my push bike, seemed a nice fella.

 

Nice car mate, fastest colour and all lol

 

Good luck baz.

The original (altered production) STI Type-RA is my favouriote Impreza.

 

Winker is from Manchester mate, Sale I think. Your right though he's a nice bloke!
