help im new
hi guys
im very new to the subaru scene and i could do with some advice please basicly i would like to know the difference between the type ra and type r because im after the ra goodies (e.g) light weight everything fifth injector dccd short throw gear change and roof vent blue print engine etc. but i also want the two door is the number of doors the only difference between the two or is there more.:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: thanks gizzy |
The WRX Type-RA was the cheapest model in the range and it doesnt have anything that youve mentioned (and the weight is a myth too for the most part). The WRX STI Type-RA does have DCCD and a roof vent but the fifth injector was only found on early WRX Type-RAs. There arent any light weight panels either: all saloon bodied JDM vehicles have a light alloy bonnet, everything else: door skins wings and boot lids are just tales that people tell their mates.

I think this might be what you are looking for

Thanks guys thats loads of help aleast now i know wat to look out for

More incorrect information. The STi RA was definitely lighter than the rest of the fleet. It didn't come with Sound deadening, No AC, No Stereo, Green Glass, and that right there is almost 200lbs(90.5kg). These are some the reasons it was called a Race Altered Impreza. Along with the Front helical LSD diff, and short gear ratio, the RA was the fastest Impreza made from 95-00.

The engines are not blue printed either, just the run of the norm STi engines for the year.

The sti ra's were actually heavier than the wrx ra's. Basically op, the type R has two doors. The RA's have 4. |

You could also get a Type r in this guise but 99.999% were specked with aircon and electric windows and after V3 most had abs too, only thing different was they came with sound deadening and rear wiper. |
Dccd equipped classics did not have abs !

I think this has been debated a few times and someone put a pic up of one that did have abs a few years back.

Its never been debated as far as I have ever seen....The WRX RA/Type R "V-Limited" and "Limited" versions had no dccd but had ABS.....Its really that simple
I'll stand corrected on the dccd and maybe that's where the pic came from, a wrx type r.:thumb: |

Well you probably had your head stuck up tubbs bum on that day as is quite usual.:D I'll stand corrected on the dccd and maybe that's where the pic came from, a wrx type r.:thumb: |
I have a 95 WRX RA, It has no abs no electric windows or central locking or wiring for it and no dccd and no boot spoiler or side skirts so that is probably a big chunk of the weight saving over the standard wrx :norty:
