Bugeye - Spec C or STi?
Hi,
Going to take a look at the following car soon but wanted to find out a bit more about it:
Subaru : STI Type RA
Being listed as a 01 Type RA, these must be rare as I am finding it hard to get any info on the motor. From what I have gathered these are the first batch of Spec C Type RA's with the non twin-scroll engine (forged pistons)?
hopefully I will have some knowledge on the motor before I go and check it out, from what I can tell it looks spot on and hasn't had many owners so might turn out to be a bargain (provided it's not thrashed to bits).
Adios,
Fz

I am giving this one a miss, the owner didn't seem to know too much about the car, has STi interior as apposed to the Type RA (a good thing probably), coilovers etc however there is a lot of soot on the exhaust.
When I asked him about a remap he didn't think it had one done since being in the country. It's the stock Type RA (non DCCD), still a good find I think, with a bit of TLC it could be back to top notch condition and make a great track or fast road car.
As for me, I have gone and bought a classic STi Type RA V-Limited so I am a happy chap
