) I just can't find any owners to complete the set in the RA ltds thread. Surely there must be 1 or 2 owners in the UK.

I import cars from Japan (actually from Japan, not a dock auction, which is rare ) so I have a number of references. Ive just looked on the SIDC FAQ page and their description for the GC8-E-F-G-27Ds is the same as mine.

Bear in mind that handling characteristics are far more likely to affected by front LSD as opposed to an open differential; rather than by the torque split, which Ive always understood was 50/50 on all cars not equiped with a DCCD...

Agreed.
RA Ltd / V -ltds rear LSD.
STIs F and R LSD?
However, read the last two posts of this thread
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...2&page=2&pp=20
Additionally, my transmission code is TY754VB1BA - can this be translated to unravel the torque split mystery?

Two of my mates have the WRX Type-R V-Limiteds that your all talking about! One is parked right outside my window now! Not as good as my WRX STi Type-R though, although they do have the Roof Vent!

WRX Type-RA V-Ltds (non-sti, GC8F27D) is the variant that we're all talking about and they DO NOT have a roof vent. Go and get your book and come back to us with the torque split on said model and you may just redeem
yourself

Shut it you Slaaaaag! 
My mates Type-R's are the NON-STi models. Although they do both have the roof vents.
According to the book, there are only 3 Type-R models:
WRX Type-R
WRX Type-R STi
WRX Type-R STi V-Limited
I would go take a pic of my mates one outside, but I don't know how to post pics up.
