Lol....arches were done by tim subbus using a piece of roofing batten and a hammer...

Genius....who needs an arch rolling kit !


Headlight was made by lockley type-ra.co.uk...he has a blank one ready for n/s aswell.

Unfortunetly the car should have remained standard...but to late for that now !

Next year rotated gt30 to finish it off and kick some but in the 22b sprint series.

Its very nice mate, you've done the right modifying it. What wheels are those & any suspension mods?

Hi Adam#

Hope you are ok

And we both know the answer to "Miss it do you"?

I'll see what happens in the Spring and chop my Bugeye WRX in for another Type RA (or Type R as I haven't owned one yet).

No more pics i'm afraid, she's tucked away under a cover now for the winter

Just a light coat of clear Waxoyl for protection, 12 years old & still like new under there

Version 6 STI Ra

Last of the Classics !

Bought for the forest but was too good to get dirty.....so she is used for the road about twice a year.

Simtek by Andy Forrest, parts by RCM and fitted by my own fair hand
