Ian, a very nice car and everything I thought it would be from what I've seen from the previous thread pics. OE is the way to go with these getting very rare in this condition, cant wait to see it soon. :thumb: |
Some nice work you've done there Ian, it's going to look brilliant and I've said it before but you've got a real gem there and the bargain of the year. :)

The RA as been down to Three Arches for a bit of a critical eye. The report is good but a few seepage issues (no age related jokes please) due to the length of time the car was stood before I picked it up.
It will be back in soon for some new shaft and breather seals. If I can get them the re-furbed 4 pots and discs will be going on too. :D |
Chop chop.
Want to see this car lol |

Want to see this car lol I have just found out the owner before last had an Apexi FC fitted and tweaked for some good results. It made me realise that I was not expecting the rapid surge when you hit the sweet spot in third, it was quicker than I expected and the Boxster S driver who was tailgating at the on slip of the M4 was very surprised :D. |
Want to buy another Apexi??

I may see you before you see me :norty:.
My wrx is for sale need to find an RA Rex or sti. |
That's a great find!! I used to love it when I had several cars arrive from Japan to find goodies like that!! Your car looks spot on, clean cars like this are getting a rarity :thumb:
|
How did you find out about the apexi Ian did he have a commander fitted as well. My apexi was good on my type r but the maff problem gave me a headache every trip out if you get it mapped again go for maff less

Really nice example!! Hard to find really good classics these days.
I don't really get the OEM look, think orange indicators etc make these cars look very dated but each to there own. |
Off topic ever so slightly.
Hope you don't mind Ian. Apart from the roof flap and dccd what were the other differences between sti Ra and Wrx Ra?? Were the engines the same, cams, pistons etc etc. |

i took the apexi off it mate, it had a commander with it so sold them before i sold the car - it was back on the standard ecu.
|
That is even more surprising consider how it goes.

Welcome to Ra world.
Mine would shock allot of people. Asking me to pull over so they could check my engine to see if it was standard lol. Until you've driven an RA it's hard to understand. |

A bit more done today.
Mini-flaps and black door handles. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps80f93692.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pse68f3cf7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps8920f6a2.jpg Hope you like my daffs. |
If someone had said to me a few years ago I would be commenting on how good a set of OEM plastic door handles looked I would have shook my head in despair to them :freak3:
Ian those door handles look great :D |
Looking very nice Ian, like you have said the OEM look is the way forward.
I am glad myself to have jumped on the classic 'wagon', it was about time I grew up. ;) Nice daffodils by the way. :thumb: |
It looks awful Ian, you should sell it to me so I can hide it down West. ;)
