Hi all after a wee break ive found myself back into it all again.
Thought id start a thread on the Ra, still awaiting the car to be registered, but all lock and loaded.
Plan is to keep orignal Helps my wallet to lol.
The car is Version 5 sti type Ra,
DccD, Quick rack, roof flap etc etc,,
80,kmh and pretty stock.

The 1st thing to sort is ditch the white 15in rays, and red flaps.
Put Oem gold 16s back on. r.
New boot decal and quick rack graphic too.
Gary has sorted insurance for me at awesome deal just need plates to finish off.
So coming along slowly , cars all mot'ed and and services with belts too.
Couple pics from today-

Wow very nice!!

Not many guys like to keep these cars stock - not that I have anything against those who decide to mod them - But I like keeping them mostly stock.

My 05 STi is not completely stock, but cosmetically she is stock, and she has good engine goodies.

Can't wait to see how she looks - my opinion, a more stockish car will be worth more then a modded car

 

Will be a good project them genuine stickers cost a pretty penny I bet

 

Looks great mate
Big fan of RA's

' de modding ' and returning to OE is a good call when un molested classics are getting thin on the ground, so fair play
Classics are now becoming just that

Those Rays worth a few notes ?

cheers
Matt

 

Cheers guys.
The car isnt really modified other than the wheels and flaps, which are easy removed. the issue is keeping it stock lol.
and yes oem stickers cost a nice little wack. but has to be.

Should have a call of my local subaru today with the oem fog brackets and screws.
