Are you sure Daz, i thought the 2 door version without sideskirts was a wrx type r as oppossed to the more common wrx sti type r!!

I am more than happy to be corrected though!

And RA Limited 2 door

And RA V Limited 2 door Longer 5 th gear

And RA Limited 4 door

And RA V Limited 4 door Longer 5th gear

Both WRX AND STi types

Tinted back windows are a ' dealer option ' meaning that you can get it done when you buy the car as are some other parts, like side window deflectors etc, Factory options are; colour coded door handles, colour coded side skirts, colour coded mirrors, wheel and tyre options, etc etc

Confused?? I should say so.

haynes manual you&your subaru impreza turbo,does list a 2 door type ra between 93-00. my v6 v ltd type r model code GC8G2FD is the last of the classic imprezas. please correct me if I am wrong because its very confusing.?

doug2507 15 May 2006 10:48 AM

speaking of a haynes manual, whats the closest thing to it for us type r owners wanting do do a spot of mechanicing with little knowledge?

Jay_bee 15 May 2006 12:47 PM

Just dropped mine off at the body shop this morning, getting the daft looking scoop removed, front end resprayed to remove the 1 million+ stonechips and new foglight cover painted and dings removed.

I'll be picking it saturday afternoon then heading straight over to York to get ready for SSIII

:luxhello:

Scoobymart 15 May 2006 01:04 PM

first aint got a clue how to post pictures. the haynes manual in question is not about repairing or fixing your skoob, its for the enthusiast to get info on their impreza(BIBLE.) its called !you&your subaru impreza turbo, from halfords £17.99 or www.haynes.co.uk

Did you get hold of v.ltd seats? Think there's a pair for sale at the moment. £400.

Sorted for stickers now. £34 quid each for the quarter's from RCM (genuine) and £20 for the foglights from Revolution (non-genuine). All excellent quality and recommended if you need some.

doug2507 18 May 2006 04:29 PM

Has anyone upgraded the rear brakes? If so, to what? Just wandering if its worth getting new disks+pads or having the std disks skimmed+pads.

Jay_bee 18 May 2006 04:36 PM

Doug,

The only things Ive done to the rear brakes are EBC Redstuff Ceramics and braided hoses (and 5.1 fluid).

I did the fronts at the same time and the pads on the front are fecked now but the rears look hardly used !

Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors and PBR pads getting installed this weekend. Will post pics when they arrive.

Jay_bee 18 May 2006 05:32 PM

Are yours 2 pot as standard then?

doug2507 18 May 2006 06:17 PM

Cheers Jay. Where did you get the parts from?

Canuck STi Type R 18 May 2006 07:45 PM

Have a question for you guys. A buddy of mine is doing a front mount intercooler kit on a V4 STi swaped 2.5RS coupe (like mine). Now the IC piping is hitting the stock intake box. What aftermarket intakes are there for the V4 STi? We cant seem to find any.

Jay_bee 18 May 2006 07:59 PM

I got the pads from (I cant remember which one so just call 'em both for the best price) either Camsport Performance or Camskill.

The braided hoses and fluid I got from RSM Motorsport but I didnt bother with the Goodridge hoses, they're miles more expensive than the non-branded stuff but dont do anything different!!

Just thought i'd say hi in here, just put a deposit down on my first scooby, a 99 V5 type R in dark metallic grey. :D :D

Collecting it on saturday, was emensley impressed with the car, coming from a history of vauxhalls, the handelling was out of this world! Test drove two 4dr STi's also but prefered the rawness off tje type R. Fair few rough ones knocking about out ther also,took a while to find a good un!

::luxhello:thanks doug2507.

doug2507 22 May 2006 10:43 PM

No probs. You've got a good lookin scooby there mate. Notice its on a W plate. Same here. Mines no.521, whats yours?

I couldnt decide on gold or anthracite p1's but i ended going for anthracite. I reckon they both look good. Must be the car!;) :D

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/CIMG0715.jpg

Its off the road at the moment for a complete overhaul of suspension/brakes/engine and wont be on the road till the later half of the year. However, it will be worth the wait as it should be chucking out a nice healthy 450/450 from the 2.5.:D :D
