Is that how much RA's are?

Good price if it's genuine.

I always thought RA = Racing Altered, and hence doesn't have electric windows, AC and other goodies. Or is that just something I made up?

RA on the newage stands for Record Attempt, for the 2005 car that cracked went under 8 minutes round the ring. Also agree with midlife it has the wrong seats they should be a black colour not the regular blue/black affair.

Noticed a few of there adverts on Pistonheads, There only up the road from me, So I might pop in to see what they've got in stock, as they seem to have a few Hawkeye's going for under £15k.

Should an 04 STI have the arch lips on the rear?

Thought that was 05 onwards.

I also thought the seats were black.

This wreaked off false, but not being 100% sure of the models/differences i didn't really wanna comment. Plus the advert with bloody SMS speak on it, puts me off as well.

At best it's a Spec C (VLtd), at worst a cocktail.

Wasn't the RA a 350 production run??


Think you're right Edd!

heres a 2005, look at the heater controls

Subaru : Subaru Impreza STI

and then a 2004 (wr1 though)

Subaru : WR1 LTD Edition


if you look at the heater controls, 2004 is recessed, 2005 is flush. its one of the several points poited out last time this car was posted up lol
