Hi all

Im looking for a RA-R for a friend at the moment.
Anybody selling one or knows who does at the moment?

Regards

 

What's an RA-R ???

 

Subaru WRX STI Spec C Type RA-R

 

Good luck with your search. Rare as rocking horse s**t!

 

Good luck.

I don't know the UK markets, but i think the best option would be to source one from Japan. Those RA-R's are pretty sourced after models, i saw few selling for quite high prices last week.

Somewhere around 27-30k mark tax free.

 

Your looking at the best part of 27k!

 

They seem to sell for 3,000,000 yen at auction so not cheap (23,500 quid) and thats before you even import, your probably looking more towards 30k to get one into the UK, though I would have a look at Immy's S204 that he has in stock, more affordable and one of the best out of the box Impreza's going (just more comfortable than an RA-R).

How can you not know what an Ra-R is?! It's probally the fastest production impreza to leave the factory. The standard type Ra lapped the ring in 7.59 secs for some reason they never ran the Ra-r round the ring or perhaps they did but didn't publish the time because it would of been quicker then the new model (hatch/saloon My11)

 

May sound silly but what does the -R stand for?

Rally Adapted-??

 

RA was record attempt think the R was Race or something hence it was RA-R

Radical there's a video on you tube best motoring the Sti engineer explains the concept behind the name.

 

^^ What happened to your one?

TX.

 

Sold the yellow one last year.

 

You still have the S204 in stock though?

Tony

 

Hold my hands up, I didn't know what it was.
I'm a classic man and don't know anything about the new age cars. Well not much anyway....

So, what's the spec of an RA-R ??

 

Quoted 320ps out of the box (probably more like 350), uprated VF42 turbocharger, all adjustable STI suspension (including arms etc), Spec C shell, 18 inch light weight wheels, optional carbon fibre spoiler, nice recaro's uprated 6 pot front and 4 pot rear brakes, not sure if the muffler (or backbox as we know it as) was titanium, but its one hell of a car just not very practical for daily use (hence the S204 )

Andy (apac) as one in WR Blue. Stonking car and as quoted already rarer than a greek tax payer.

 

Yep still do there's a member on here coming to see it next week

I thought Apac had a spec c type Ra not an RA-R. As far as am aware there's only 3 white ones in the country.

 

RA= Race Altered
R = Not a clue.

RA= record attempt
R= Radical (cheers Immy )
