Default Had my STI RA out today

Took the old girl out for the first time since the Zen RR day!

Took a few pics because I put it for sale a while back and have just had chance to sort pics for the ad, what a clean car it is! Have a look at the underside shot, not bad for a 13 year old car!

Love my suede bits.

The steering wheel is just a normal suede on which I fitted the std STI nardi centre to.

The gear **** is a std item that I re-covered myself in suede, I have a template now for this and will be doing my wagon one too.. feels superb to drive!

Just checked the date I drove it last.. 19th October! That was the Zen RR day

So I guess that answers your question

That's the reason I decided to sell, I can't decide whether to stick with the wagon only or sell both and get a late STI RA or type r. Also this RA is so clean underneath it makes me cringe driving it on days when there's salt around (had to rinse it off underneath after being out today

If it were me i,d keep this and sell the Wagon, RA,s especially minters like this are going to get rarer and rarer mate, get it up to about 320 and you,ll have a mental car...


KEEP IT....

I intended to keep both together but I just don't have time for a weekend toy at the moment (after becomming a dad) hence selling it. I've had my wagon for a while and thought that modifying it would cheer me up but I'm not overly amazed at the performance. I think the best thing is to sell both and get either a late sti ra with longer 5th gear, type R or just a late saloon I can put my wagons mods on and go to town a bit more

Well time will tell, it may not sell but even if I keep it then the most I'll do is front mount, Power FC, walbro and remap for circa 320bhp. I think 320bhp with this gearing would be a rapid little car. It already goes really well, my wagon isn't exactly shy on power but there isn't a lot between them.
