I need som help...
#1
I am going to buy a Jap import WRX RA STi very soon,
I have som questions:
**please dont give me the Impreza faq link because these questions are not answered there** :-)
1- What should a Totally Original car Cost NO MODS at all, because i can not import a modded car due to swedish laws.
2- What Colors do they have?
3- What is the Original Turbo in these cars and how many BHP can they handle before the need of an upgrade??
4- Do the WRX RA STi have a front mounted or top mounted IC, and how much can the original IC handle (BHP)
5- Do they or do the not have an originally fitted Rear Spoiler (wing) because i keep on seeing pictures of them with wings.
6- What do they do 0-60 MPH I have read 4.6 sec, 5.0 sec
one of them must be wrong.
AND FINALLY
How many BHP is needed to run a 12.9 12.8 sec Quarter??
I assume somewhere between 320-350 BHP?
ALL Answers are greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

1- What should a Totally Original car Cost NO MODS at all, because i can not import a modded car due to swedish laws.
>>>>> Firstly AFAIK there was no 1994 WRX STI RA just a WRX RA. Dont know about price probably between £5000-£9000 depending condition, colour, age, mileage.
2- What Colors do they have?
>>>>> The earlier RAs seem to be either white or red
3- What is the Original Turbo in these cars and how many BHP can they handle before the need of an upgrade??
>>>>> It will probably have a the bigger TD05 series turbo which is probably good for at least 300bhp BUT there are other items you need to sort mainly the mapping and a good ECU something like a well mapped LINK ECU
4- Do the WRX RA STi have a front mounted or top mounted IC, and how much can the original IC handle (BHP)
>>>>> All non-modified road going impreza have TMIC and can flow 300+bhp if mapped correctly
5- Do they or do the not have an originally fitted Rear Spoiler (wing) because I keep on seeing pictures of them with wings.
>>>>> Yes quite a few if fact most had no spoilers on them especially the earlier ones.
6- What do they do 0-60 MPH I have read 4.6 sec, 5.0 sec
one of them must be wrong.
>>>>> Depending on the year as the earlier ones were that low geared they couldnt reach 60 in second i.e you needed an extra gear change. Dont worry it just means 0-70 is quicker
AND FINALLY
How many BHP is needed to run a 12.9 12.8 sec Quarter??
I assume somewhere between 320-350 BHP
>>>>> The RA is a light weight edition with short gearing so the power to weight is good 300bhp and a good driver and strong clutch should see a sub 13 second quarter.
