Default My RA


















White 1997 Subaru STI RA

2.5 closed deck with forge pistons and rods
Head studs instead of the standard bolts
Cosworth gaskets
V4 heads
Unequal headers (wrapd)
Scott Hayward full system with ceramic down pipe
Vf22 turbo
Front Mount
Lightened pulleys
440cc injectors’
Parallel fuel rail
K&N filter
14ltr Samco rad
DCCD quick shift
180 rear diff (ideal for 6speed conversion)
Lightened fly wheel
High Spec 365mm 6pots and grooved disks
2pot rears
17’s not sure what make put have brand new tyres
Autronics ECU
Boost controller
Turbo controller
Boost gauge
Oil temp and pressure gauges
Knock link
22b vents
Black crystal lights (indicators, head lights, sidelights)
STI rear lights
Carbon fibre front strut brace
HKS fully adjustable suspension
Full white line kit (arb, drop links front and back, anti lift etc)
Red STI seats
I have more than likely forgot some bits. The engine was brandnew from America i have only covered 1300miles so just run in really, currently running a vf22 turbo running 280bp, 350nm torque at just 6psi i have been told to run the car for afew more miles then i can put my AF td05 20g turbo and 740 injectors and it will see 400bhp the engine is built for 500+bhp as i wanted a reliable track car with 400bhp.

Just out of interest what do you lot think its worth? as i will be selling it due to never useing it and business expanding

Looks stunning mate from what I can see (pics still tiny even when I click on them)

Not sure of value but would be right up my street if I decide to sell my newage. Keep me posted.

Looking good, one thing I will say, the earlier RA's look better with the midlevel spoiler imo and yours seems to resemble the earlier models but that spec is mental

That's a nice looking Ra you have there I really like the Black scoop,

I may introduce that mod on my RA as I think it will complement the contrast of colours, White,Black & Red

Nice one & BIG thumb to you

I never usually comment in here but that is a very nice looking classic, seems a shame to have to sell after all the work you've had done!

Cheers

Be carefull you already have a great looking colour scheme the only Red additions to my Scoob is the Flaps, front AP calipers & soon rear Ap's.

When I start to mod the underside that's when things may change, though I'm hoping I can go with White ARB's..I guess the drop links will be a different colour but that's cool.

When I have my double garage that's when I will start the proper underside changes....but that's a away off yet.

well that sounds great, I'm going to sort out my diff case too, though it will probably be anodised Blue and have a decent guard fitted.

To be honest the underside of mine is very clean indeed & the subframes & links etc are all still in original condition & only a little polish would bring a nice shine to them.

To be honest i'm really not sure, though if not viable I may look at having the casing polished...but I do want to try and avoid a bling moment

sounds good....
I'm going to try and change most of the nuts, bolts & studs for lightweight or stainless on my underside or where ever I can on the car....though I don't want it turning into a custom car...just want it clean & presentable

That looks very nice indeed. I'd lose the spats off the rear bumper however.

Fair play, i just think that the spats look lost without the skirts... which themselves have no place on an RA IMO.

Once again, nice car and great spec.
