Show us your red type RAs
 
As above. Just put a deposit on one and wondered how many others on here have one?

Cheers,

Matt.

Took my advise i see Matt? :D

PaulC72 06 May 2007 10:12 AM

I've never seen a red one either ? every day is an education on here :)

Taken from typera.co.uk

V1 - WRX - Feather White, Vivienne Red.
V1 - Sti - Feather White
V2 - WRX - Feather White, Vivienne Red.
V2 - Sti - Feather White
V3 - WRX & Sti - Feather White
V4 - WRX & Sti - Feather White
V5 - WRX & Sti - Feather White
V6 - WRX - Feather White.
V6 - Sti - Feather White, Cashmere Yellow

There is confusion (in my mind) as to the actual name of the red of the early WRX RA, I've heard it called a different name but can't remember!

Here are the V-Limiteds & Limiteds etc:

V2 - Sti Type RA V-Limited 555 - Sports Blue
V4 - Sti Type RA V-Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V5 - Sti Type RA Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V5 - Type RA Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V6 - STi Type RA Limited - Sonic Blue Mica
V6 - Type RA Limited- Sonic Blue Mica

yup :thumb: only a wrx type ra but the difference is huge. it's not mint bodywork wise, but only a little dimple in the bonnet and a couple of paint blemishes which really isn't a problem for what i have in mind :norty:

the short ratio gearbox and lighter weight, well wow is all i can say at the moment.

Love this Ra.....looks so sweet spoilerless:notworthy

V4JDMSTi 06 May 2007 09:12 PM

very nice :thumb: mines got the spoiler on at the moment but not for long.

V4JDMSTi 13 May 2007 11:39 PM

Well it's here. Very standard at the moment though.

DiddyWRX 14 May 2007 10:06 AM

How can you tell it's an RA? Did they have different options and power etc?

T50LF where did u get that grill? I want! lol

V4JDMSTi 14 May 2007 10:27 AM

quite a few different bits to a normal wrx. has intercooler spray, no abs, shorter ratio gearbox, it's a whole lot lighter!, no fogs (these were retro fitted and will be removed), manual windows, manual mirrors, mirrors aren't painted, spoiler was an optional extra. think they have a closed deck block too. sure i've missed a few things.

basically the ra "rally altered" only needs a roll cage and it's fit for group n rallying. they made them for homologation purposes so that the impreza could go rallying.

DiddyWRX 14 May 2007 11:02 AM

Ah right so mine's not an RA then, hmmm!

Wish I knew what's going on with mine it has aluminium doors, bonnet, boot lid and factory cage with short gear ratios?

V4JDMSTi 14 May 2007 11:08 AM

i think that the imports had the different doors bonnet and boot lid and a different gearbox to the UK specs. not sure about the cage though.

love your wheels. really suit the car.

oh just remembered. wrx ra has no bidet (rear wash wipe ;))

DiddyWRX 14 May 2007 12:46 PM

U love my wheels? I cant stand em lol

I want some white/anthracite jobbies!

DiddyWRX 14 May 2007 12:48 PM

Exactly how I want my car to look to a T but with STi v6 rear spoiler and colour coded mirrors!

What about just getting those repainted? would look great in either colour.

Bought the grill off ebay and then modified it to suit the later style head lights.

mneame car looks good. Looks like we are the only ones with red ra's!!

EOEUMC 14 May 2007 07:33 PM

Scoobyhep on here also has a red ra :)

The only body panel i have ever seen on a classic impreza that is made of aluminium is the bonnet...from the factory that is..


As for wings,doors,boots etc....i am willing to bet their steel...try putting a magnet on them.

Its a myth:lol:

Cheers. Not bad for £2400. bit of a pain to start from cold but as soon as it's been running for a minute or so it's spot on. Someone said i need to clean out the idle control valve / cold start valve and it should be fine.

yeah not many of us about couple more have come to light now though. nice to see a couple more but also nice to be pretty exclusive :lol1:

Car looks superb Jon. What's the spec now? (will give me something to aim for ;))

do you know what wheels they are that are in the first pic? Was going to paint mine but those look :luvlove:

j-k 15 May 2007 07:57 PM

Matt,

The spec is listed on the left in "view my scooby"

The car will have some new graphics soon....as we are sorting a deal with a new sponsor...

Those wheels are Speedlines 15"..
Keep your eye out on ebay...they quite often appear on there.

jon

V4JDMSTi 15 May 2007 11:04 PM

Ooh new sponsor. will have to try to get along to one of your events this year.

cheers for the info on the wheels.
