The type R is named after its shell (retna) and is a 2 door car, the type RA (race altered) has a stack of other goodies like engine oil cooler and is lightweight (glass, no sound proofing etc).

The Type R has DCCD (Driver Controld Center Diff) Which means you can shift the power to the rear wheels, close ratio gearbox & an intercooler water spray. The type R is 280bhp. You really need to test drive each model before making a choice.

The RA is a bit lighter, and they all had a front lsd as apposed to some of the type r's having a open front diff. Only type r, V-LTD had a roof vent.
Go for the RA as its not as gay as the R
