anyone heard of such a beast?

ebay item number 330043842707

 

v limited?

 

Heres the eBay link

eBay.co.uk: SUBARU IMPREZA STI V-SPEC! ONLY 39860 MILES COLLECTORS (item 330043842707 end time 01-Nov-06 22:48:53 GMT)

Looks like a STI II 555 special edtion to me John mate.

 

looks like a 555 to me too, but its got the wrong engine in it

 

IIRC,they don't have the red cam covers.

Rooferman is the geezer to ask.

 

555 had the roof vent as well didnt it?

 

Only on the RA's IIRC.

 

555's had roof vents as well

 

Just now had a look in a book.

The STI II's had red manifolds but the RA's didn't.

They were introduced on normal STI's with the II and on RA's with the III.

The 555 was limited to 500 units in saloon form and 100 in wagon.

It did indeed have a vent as standard but the wagon didn't.

 

calling gc8.....

 

Why?

I just stated what a 555 is.

 

he knows more than you daniel, nothing more than that.

 

Because he wants to know what they might mean by a v-spec, not what a 555 might be. And it's GC8's business as an importer to know the various models - he has experience, he's not just an anorak reading it out of a book.

HTH-bloody-H.

 

Wrx sti version II 555 limited edition.........Hence no dccd or roof vent.....i think?

 

Well I try to be helpful and I get this.........

 

I think the DCCD came in on the STI III Type R's.

But what would I know?

 

The car in the Ebay link is a WRX V-Limited

1000 produced, 500 in white and 500 in rally blue

I have a 555 version and it has the red manifold and roof vent

 

To me it looks like he's got the 555 special edtion,and the later V-Limited's confused.

 

rooferman, tim (sti555) had this car , it had both dccd and roof vent, along with red top engine and fifth injector, same seats etc etc

 

DCCD 'came in' witht he 1995 STI Type-RA; an altered-production car based on a 1995 Type-RA. This model introduced DCCD and a roof vent. As James and awesomepossum have said the 555 had a roof vent...

I know version II sti type ra had dccd.....

 

think be all and end all is its a early 555 v limited then?

i thought v spec was a skyline pmsl

 

as above tidgy, it would have a roof vent and red top if it was.

 

I think that it is a WRX V-Limited, but you would need to see the Applied Model Number to be certain (ending in 48D). The 555 saloons were STI Type-RA based and the roof vent is clearly not present on the car in question.

I just now looked again and there was a V-Limited around that year.

Looking at the details it does fit that MO just it's a V-Limited not a v-spec.

The wrx version was 1000 units and available in black white and red.

The sti version was 555units and had a roof vent dccd etc.

The DCCD actually came in on the STI 1 acording to this book.

 

The STI II's had red manifolds but the RA's didn't.

They were introduced on normal STI's with the II and on RA's with the III.

 

bat fink, left hand side page 73

its a wrx v limited not sti

hence no red manifold

 

DCCD was introduced on the model that I described in post #20. That was the 1995 STI Type-RA which is distinctly seperate from the oriiginal STI (1).

 

Cap in my *** then.

The RA's didn't have em and the v-limited was based on a ra so didn't have red manifolds.

The normal STI' did tho,page 63.
