Very very very nice mate - looks in great condition from the pics, welcome back to the fold!
Where did you source such a fine specimen if you don't mind me asking as I think I spent the last 3 months looking everyday (much to the disgust of the missus ) for RA's, Standard Classic STi's, Type R's etc etc and clearly missed this one! (I bought a real nice new age in the end!)

Thanks guys, I'd say its good to be back but I have never really left lol
Always actively looking. Not chasing them jap big figures too much now as fairly content(as can be lol) with S4 and 510/700.
It's quite a breath of fresh air no one fluffing it up as something it's not!
Needs a few minor bits but nothing major.
Need to make the BIGGEST decision
Turn to a stripped out track car(more chassis/brakes simple JGM map)
or
Return to ultimate former glory semi-restoration
?????

Can't disclose such confidential information lol
Put it this way it was under my nose all the time
Can't believe you opted for a lardy new age lol
Cheers

Lol! did you get it from a police compound? I searched high and low for a clean one like yours and found bugger all! Very nice mate! Well I was gunning for a classic but worried that a lot of them would be rusting like they'd been kept in a swamp for years and then MattyB who was a huge help answering a million of my questions about which car to get linked up a bugeye and I found this bugeye love I never knew I had and so here I am in a black bug sti! It's a very happy place to be where my happy little right foot is right at home! Ps: still wouldn't mind a classic at some point but never actually been out in one!

Stunning, one of my favorite models. Rare to find in nice unmolested condition too.
Definitely derserves to be returned to its former glory, be such a shame to turn a rare car like this into a stripped out track beast.
Just a point for you though chap, its not a V2 STI RA. The V2 car are GC8C4DD,

The gearbox code above is the correct one for that car. It was also used in its sister car of the same year, the WRX RA.
It should have the wing badges like you say, they are still available but not cheap.
Should also have the large sticker on the boot lid too which again, are still available.

I noticed the pics had DCCD lights on the dash so I'm a bit confused

Only the top badge in that link is a genuine one, and from what I can see its £20 for one used badge. You then need to find a way of sticking it to the car without it sitting proud, I think the OP would be better off biting the bullet and getting a pair of genuine new badges that just peel and stick.

See this link and PM Stuart if you want a cheaper alternative for the rear boot lid sticker.
From what i can see they look very good.
