WRX RA
Hi, any info on these would be much appreciated!!
i have searched but there is too many different models to make sense of!!
seen one im interested in and going to take a look i think!(93/94car)
should it have a numbered plaque somewhere?
are the brakes 2pot or 4?
am i right in guessing no EW,EM,AIRCON,rear spoiler and is there anything else missing?
do they have a different engine code that i could check??
what power are they as standard?
How many were made?
thanks for any help, i just want to make sure it is a RA and not just a badged wrx!

The 7 digit "applied model" code found on the vehicle identification plate inside the engine bay is decoded in the following way.
1. Series code G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy etc.
2. Body type F=Wagon C=Sedan
3. Engine type 8=2.0L Turbo
4. Year code A=MY93 B=MY94 C=MY95&96 D=MY97 (facelift) E=MY98 F=MY99 G=MY00
5. Number of doors 2=2 door coupe 4=4 door saloon 5=5 door wagon/hatch
6. Model type 8=WRX 7=RA type E=Sti D=Sti Type R & RA
7. Transmission D=5 Speed Manual AWD P=4 Speed Automatic AWD
More info at www.sidc/co/uk/faq.htm
