I must admit I do prefer the Blue R's with Gold wheels and only bought my Silver one because it was heavily upgraded over the standard spec.

I also think the V-Limited had a taller 5th gear??? about 22MPH per 1000rpm, as appossed to 19.5mph per 1000 of the stndard R/RA Box. Im just for waiting my clutch to go, so I get the taller gear fitted

I certainly know the 5's had the different 5th, but I do not know about the 6's.????

Any more piccis please

stef555

More pics Pls.


p.s. Can some1 tell me if there's a lot of noise comming of the roof vent @ higher speeds!?!?!?

Gedi

yeah, quite a lot.

The roof vents are not as cool as you think.

They don't direct air at you, you can't really use them above 60mph and they are noisy.

Higgs

the amount of air they direct in u wouldent want it 2 go straight at u it would feel like u had a tornado in your car and as 4 noise no more than haveing the windows open

peccy

stef555

I'm not surprised it went so quick, since you practically gave it away!!

Did it go as a result of being in the 'trader?

peccy

think so yes, time was running out though so it for under £8k to a dealer. but guy also bought rest of mods too.

Ian Drew

The roof vent on my v5 STi Type R V-Ltd still has the official stickers in japanese on the underside, it has 80Kph with a cross through it so I take it that it should not be opened above 50mph

I asume it is so it doesn't get "ripped" off the top of the car

D Hill 555

any FULL VEIW picis please ?

GRIFFS STI

hi peccy,glad to see you got one in the end,mines no 487.photo below,mines wearing the wrc rear spoiler,slightly smaller than sti 6,you are guaranteed to come home smiling after every trip,they go like stink!!

Yep, best looking and quickest Classic there is. I've got a V5 Type R Ltd with roof vent etc...

Also got V6 front lip, Link, Full decat, K&N, Morettes, V8 rear water tank and loads more. Nothing is as quick apart from 2 GSXR1000's on the A5 every morning.

The world is your stage.....

not sure on the 50mph bit guys..Mines really solid...forgot to close it the other day and did 80 and it was ok NP. Maybe its just that its not supposed to "BE OPENED" over 50mph. As I think it would probebly pull back hard???

If that was the case why have on a rally car that does 140mph?? Do they have to shu them at that speed as well as drive and map read at the same time??...:-)

I thought the STI RA was the quickest classic ever, with lightweight everything and v. close ratios?

Omen

What did you end up paying or the v6 peccy? (If you dont mind me asking). Just wondering what the price difference to the v5 was.

Im on the lookout for a black Sti v5 Type R but theyre like rockin horse ****.

Omen,

ScoobyKev

Griff.

My brother has just bought one and your right, they do go like stink If I hadn't of bought a P1, this would of been the car for me.

Gedi

to answer the original question, there is no noise at all from the vent when it is closed. You forget its there.

Also, I have had mine open (accidentally) at 100mph with no problems. Don't plan on trying it again though.
