Default Should i trade in my newage STi for a v1 RA?

I currently own a Bug STi mildly tuned at 340/330

I'm pondering towards trading it in towards a version 1 STi RA, i'm after something thats a bit more special than my run of the mill UK spec...

How do they compare?

Would be a bit of a project for me to restore.

is a v1 ra worth 5-6k as a "project" ?

Its not about what other people think, its wether you're happy with the deal or not.

We don't have enough info to make a comment.

Either car could be minters or sheds for all we know

But really does depend on condition / milage of the cars involved and what it's going to be used for.

Sorry guys, I just getting formation from importer for the Car, I just know I'm after a V1

My car is pretty much mildly modified, here is the specs of my Car.

54,000 miles
RCM up pipe
Uprated Fuel Pump
3" S/S Exhaust
Tein Braces
Tein springs
Open source map with Launch control
Spec C clutch
Mintex drilled and groved disks
Mintex Pads
Hell braided Break lines
Bridgestone Potenza RE07 all round

Only downside to mine is some of the body work needs a little attention as I had to remove the stickers when I got the car. The lacquer has a bit of peel on the rear door, wing and a little rust on the rear arch. Apart from the body the car is really in good condition, I did/do plan on getting it sorted. So, I'm not really sure on what it's worth.

I've always fancied a special version Subaru. Mine currently I only drive at weekends really so I planned on cleaning the RA up with a few engine/ chassis mods but to retain the standard looks.

Here is my car
