A lot of people think that the R or RA is only an STI thing.

You aint the first and you wont be the last to make that mistake. Its all about cheaper lookalikes.

I think the point Jap was making originally was that he thought it would have been an Sti for the age not that they didnt make them as WRX's as RA's. Thats how i read it anyway
