not really, to me, a wrx was the import, the sti was the sportier version of the wrx, but why would insurance be £800 on an import, just cause it has a bit more bhp ?!!?

wot i want to know is, what is different from a wrx from a turbo from an sti, if i was looking at an impreza, what would shout out, wrx or sti or just turbo ?

what is the RA then ?

as i asked earlier, what would shout at me, WRX, a normal turbo if thats what it is and STI Spec, apart from stickers of course !!

for instance, my sport was a turbo in everyway, except for rear drums, the giveaway.

cheers......

and a turbo obviously, as far as im aware uk turbos had 215bhp whereas early wrxs had 240 standard - this went upto 260 on later wrx's - the sti has 276 im led to believe on the earlier models and 280 on later? (awaits a correction) am I correct in thinking the wagons had slightly less power

hth

Phil

the RA is a lightweight race version without all the gubbins like electric windows etc, they also have a different ratio box

Ra have thinner glass and they dont have side skirts
If your going to do alot of motorway driving then there not the best because of the low ratio box, but on A roads the performance is brutal
