Subaru Impreza RA - R
apparently 270 of the 300 have been sold at just over 18k in Japan.
RA=Race altered. What does the single R stand for?? Also the car comes minus a rear wing.Subaru say this is their best handling STI ever!! Does this mean the rear wings on allother models hinder performance......................ok probably not. Does anyone have any ideas why Subaru have said this and what is their thinking behind that statement?? |

RA-R: Record Attempt - Radical ;)
Not really sure what they have changed on the car as regards the chassis to say it's the best ever handling Impreza as my impression of the car was that it's a Spec C Type RA with the following additions/changes: Brembo six pots, 18" wheels as standard, an STI lower strut brace and the VF42 turbo as found on the S204. Other than that I would say the cars are identical chassis wise with both cars enjoying the uprated STI setup over the standard Spec C. As for the spoiler, there is an option to have a carbon item fitted which IMO it needs very badly as it looks awful without one. |

If it's got no rear wing it could stand for 'Rubbish Ar$e' ;)
|
Agreed that it looks v poor without the wing ...
I'd like the carbon wing on mine (lowly Spec C), where can you get them? TX.

what sort fo power is the vf42 good for?
|
That's the one ... £500 + VAT!! Juggers, you looking :wonder:

How much more power it is capable of is something I'd like to know too. I would estimate not much more for some reason. I reckon it would provide stronger mid-range over the VF36. |

I believe the compressor housing and it's design are different to the VF36. Not too sure about the the exhaust housing.

The VF42 is based on the VF22, performance wise its got about 20bhp more in it than a VF36, and yes it will give more midrange torque due to its size. Tony:) |
