Hi all scooby guys. I've thinking about buying a 1998 Tommy Kaira M20b. But i want to know what things is different to the stock STI Type R. I've search for it but havent found anithing good.


/ David - Sweden

 

Main difference is front and rear bumper, rear spoiler and side skirts are different. Some interior parts are slittly different . Main difference is tommy kera produces more power . Hope this helps

 

I think also it had the full complement of STI optional extras. Not 100% sure on that though.

 

here you got some pics on the car

 

I always thought TK's were built using pre'96 WRX RA's

The ones ive seen have alloy intercooler (ARC i think), TK's own Orange dash dials,orange gauges to match the dials placed in center console, TK steering wheel,TK Wheels, TK mapped ECU and obviously the bodykit.

 

never seen a type r tommy, thought they were all saloons...........

 

I,m sure the Tommy k,s were all based on the wrx ra......named M20b with a plaque on the suspension turret....

Are you sure thats not a type r thats had the bodykit and stickers added...???

thats not a TK rear spoiler either....its the S201 rear wing...???

 

It looks like its a real TK but im not sure. Thats why im asking u guys.

I guess this car is still in japan?

SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI4 TYPE-R TOMMY KAIRA M20B GC8 1998

 

no. this car is in Sweden. i've looked at it already.

 

Fair enough i should of checked the date in the link...

Same car tho.

 

Very Nice Car....
Love It!

 

it looks like it's the same car. same mileage. same rims

 

I think if its a TK it would have a build no and plaque on suspension turret...


But you never know....it would be the first 2 door TK ive seen.


It looks nice though...

 

nice looking car not seen a type r one

 

It's seems to be a very rare car if it turns out to be a real Tommy Kaira and not a fake one.

 

i like that a lot but whats with thd odd front seats??

 

Are tk's worth more than a standard classic?
If so how much?
And in what way is the kit different?

 

No.
Nothing.
It's a shi*e body kit and cosmetic items fitted for early followers of gash body furniture.

 

That blue R is no TK.

They have no real following now, back in 90's Japan they were quite a thing as their tastes were quite wild. You've just got to look at the crazy stickers subaru used to put on the boot lids to understand Japanese taste back then....lol....

TK also did a newage version which was a little less 'in ya face'.

 

Thanks mattyb,
What about engine wise?

 

What about it ??
The classic TK shared the same engine as any other model as far as i'm aware.

 

From what I've read, engine was supposed to be re mapped?
Was wondering if anyone knows to what bhp??

 

The ecu had a chip in the socket if that's what you mean.
