Other than the RA-Limited has a roof vent and the RA don't, is there any other difference?

Cheers

John I don't know, I just know that if I am looking for an STi 5 or 6 whatsimathingamie Type Idonthaveaclue V Limited I know who to ask once you have sorted it all out

I think the Ltd has a few extra electrical goodies, bringing the spec up closer to a standard car, as opposed to a stripped out 'race altered' or whatever it is that RA signifies.

Hi John

OK, I'll have a crack at this :

Not quite sure exactly what you're asking, so I'll try and answer : what's the difference between STI and non STI v-lim (version 6).

STIs have :

a higer red line of 8k (as opposed to 7.5)
big spoiler
4 pot front brakes
STI BB
centre diff control
carbon strut brace
STI pistons


RA limited (version 6)'s don't have a roof vent


Helpful at all ??

Thanks for the info, what I'm tyring to establish is, would I be better off going for an STi6 RA, or a STi5 Type R v-limited.

Obvious thing being one is a 2 door and one a 4.

I've got some info on the STi6 RA but wondered what difference there is verses the RA v-limited version.

Stroof this is getting confusing

Planning a trip round the country tomorrow looking at some cars I've tracked down, got cash burning a hole in my pocket but want the best spec'd car I can for my money, and the best looked after aswell.

OK, well the 6 has the better interior. Other than that it's down to a 2 or 4 door preference.

Best just to drive both and go for the better kept one.

Good luck

For the fugly RA see
http://www.iwoc.co.uk/jpnewagera.html

There is also info on the Classic Type R and the RA on
http://www.iwoc.co.uk/jpstir.html but its not as concise as the New age stuff.

a real type r v-limited is based on a v4 and looses a lot. They have a small rear spoiler(same as early uk cars),tiny twin tail pipes(same as uk cars),no side skirts,no front spliter,black lower spec intercooler,no diff control,v-limited yellow crest on black seats. It does have roof vent and only comes in blue,they were all made in 97 & 98. A lot of people add bits to make them more like a std v 4, so totally original ones are very rare.

You cant get a 2 door RA. There is a lot of differences between a V4 and a V5. V5 and V6 are the same except the 6 has a lip on the rear spoiler and a slightly lower fornt spliter.
