HELP! 1998 Impreza WRX Type R V-Limited specs
 

Hello,
I need urgent information on following model: 1998 Impreza WRX Type R V-Limited specs
How and what is different from Type R STi version?
Does it have same gearbox as STi TypeR?
DCCD yes or no?

Thanx beforehand for Your answers,
Tadas,
2001 Wagon STi
351hp

The WRX type R v-limited has the WRX drivetrain fitted to the 2 door shell.

So, no DCCD, no red top engine, although the WRX was 276bhp by 1998 anyway.

Not so sure about the gear ratios, I believe they are identical to the STi.

type r v-limited
 

i have a wrx type r v-limited number 069 / 1000 and this is fitted with a red top engine, i know this is the correct spec as i bought it new from japan,

sti type r's always come with dccd and they do have a red top engine

Just to clarify, I'm referring to the WRX type RA V-Limited 2 door coupe, as opposed to the WRX STi Type R. These are two different cars.

Just to confuse things further, many people (including subaru on occasion!!!) referred to the WRX type RA v-limited 2 door (which was badged "type RA") as the WRX type R v-limited... confusing...

If it is a 98 model, the WRX type RA 2 door will have chassis code GC8E27D, it was delivered originally with a silver top engine, and no dccd. (At least, I've seen two of these cars now, and they both had silver top motors). I've never seen the 99 model (GC8F27D) and have no idea what options this had fitted.

People often confuse the STi type R and the WRX type RA / type R 2 door coupe. They are different beasts!
