Taken from typera.co.uk

V1 - WRX - Feather White, Vivienne Red.
V1 - Sti - Feather White
V2 - WRX - Feather White, Vivienne Red.
V2 - Sti - Feather White
V3 - WRX & Sti - Feather White
V4 - WRX & Sti - Feather White
V5 - WRX & Sti - Feather White
V6 - WRX - Feather White.
V6 - Sti - Feather White, Cashmere Yellow

There is confusion (in my mind) as to the actual name of the red of the early WRX RA, I've heard it called a different name but can't remember!

Here are the V-Limiteds & Limiteds etc:

V2 - Sti Type RA V-Limited 555 - Sports Blue
V4 - Sti Type RA V-Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V5 - Sti Type RA Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V5 - Type RA Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V6 - STi Type RA Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V6 - Type RA Limited- Sonic Blue Mica

yup only a wrx type ra but the difference is huge. it's not mint bodywork wise, but only a little dimple in the bonnet and a couple of paint blemishes which really isn't a problem for what i have in mind

the short ratio gearbox and lighter weight, well wow is all i can say at the moment.

Cheers for that. Swear i'd read up about a black ones somewhere. I must be going mad

Love this Ra.....looks so sweet spoilerless

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

very nice mines got the spoiler on at the moment but not for long.

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

Well it's here. Very standard at the moment though.

How can you tell it's an RA? Did they have different options and power etc?

T50LF where did u get that grill? I want! lol

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

quite a few different bits to a normal wrx. has intercooler spray, no abs, shorter ratio gearbox, it's a whole lot lighter!, no fogs (these were retro fitted and will be removed), manual windows, manual mirrors, mirrors aren't painted, spoiler was an optional extra. think they have a closed deck block too. sure i've missed a few things.

basically the ra "rally altered" only needs a roll cage and it's fit for group n rallying. they made them for homologation purposes so that the impreza could go rallying.

DiddyWRX

Ah right so mine's not an RA then, hmmm!

Wish I knew what's going on with mine it has aluminium doors, bonnet, boot lid and factory cage with short gear ratios?

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

i think that the imports had the different doors bonnet and boot lid and a different gearbox to the UK specs. not sure about the cage though.

love your wheels. really suit the car.

oh just remembered. wrx ra has no bidet (rear wash wipe )

DiddyWRX

U love my wheels? I cant stand em lol

I want some white/anthracite jobbies!

DiddyWRX

Exactly how I want my car to look to a T but with STi v6 rear spoiler and colour coded mirrors!

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

What about just getting those repainted? would look great in either colour.

T5OLF

iTrader: (4)

Bought the grill off ebay and then modified it to suit the later style head lights.

mneame car looks good. Looks like we are the only ones with red ra's!!

Scoobyhep on here also has a red ra

The only body panel i have ever seen on a classic impreza that is made of aluminium is the bonnet...from the factory that is..


As for wings,doors,boots etc....i am willing to bet their steel...try putting a magnet on them.

Its a myth

j-k

matt,

Nice choice, Same as the one we bought...


A few months hard work and you could have it looking like ours...

Cheers. Not bad for £2400. bit of a pain to start from cold but as soon as it's been running for a minute or so it's spot on. Someone said i need to clean out the idle control valve / cold start valve and it should be fine.

yeah not many of us about couple more have come to light now though. nice to see a couple more but also nice to be pretty exclusive

Car looks superb Jon. What's the spec now? (will give me something to aim for )

do you know what wheels they are that are in the first pic? Was going to paint mine but those look

j-k

Matt,

The spec is listed on the left in "view my scooby"

The car will have some new graphics soon....as we are sorting a deal with a new sponsor...

Those wheels are Speedlines 15"..
Keep your eye out on ebay...they quite often appear on there.

cheers for the info on the wheels.

Thanks EOEUMC.
Off road at the moment with a fried piston!!! But a full race build currently taking place... Check out his wagon
Although not an Ra but still a headturner (best around here).
