Default Scubbay Jnrs Impreza WRX Type RA

Well he bought this nearly two years ago but have never put up a thread. He had this and the mk2 together for a year trying to decide which one to keep and this one won that battle.


We got it in England with 31k and some nice brake and handling upgrades but standard engine and body thankfully. For those of you that dont know, the RA is the car Subaru produced for homologation and came with no spoiler, no air con, no central locking, no electric windows etc. This combined with a lightweight bonnet and a short ratio gear box made it very fast out of the box. This one has been rolling roaded at 277bhp and has ran a 13.0 sec 1/4 mile.


It looked like this when we got it:





We then set about upgrading certain elements of the car. It now sits on genuine STI shocks with STI pink lowering springs. It now has an STI accessories backbox which is a very rare item and sounds great. We sourced a set of Buddyclub P1's and painted them, the colour took me a while to decide on but looks great in the sun.


So this is how it looks now. The pictures have came out a bit dark but the last one shows off the wheel colour well.


Any comments welcome.

And today:

Lovely. So nice to see the body kept completely as Subaru intended. I'm not a fan of the spoiler-less look, but its an ra and its meant to be that way.
