V2 STi 555?
Im a bit confused by my STi 555 ...I know it's not an RA (Ive got leccy windows, air con & side skirts ...& no dccd) even tho' ive got a roof vent & my chassis no. tally's with it being an STi
but...
Im hitting an indicated 140 kph/ 85 mph @ 4K rpm (so real world 76' ish) ...which tally's with an RA close ratio box?
Anyone else with a 555 shed any light? ...& was there ever a close ratio box without dccd???

Cheers Si,
It must have had a gearbox change at some point then ...either that or my math is cr4p!
I was planning on swapping to a dccd & close ratio box anyway ...so all i need to figure out now is if there was ever a 3.9 box without dccd? (WRX Type RA?)

I have the same car mate and i was on the same lines of thinking when i got mine. The cars basically a standard sti 2 with a few extras like the roof scoop. My box also feels similar to an r.as ratios.

These are the ratios for an STI V2 Type-RA; as you can see theyre much closer.....(with a lower final drive though).
