Not an Ra......has the ariel on the rear quarter and has a rear wiper.

The ariel would be on the door pillar on an Ra.

It does read that this car is not an STI,RA and just a WRX. I would be a bit concerned that it as had a face lift front end,thou it does look better.He also go's on to mention that the car is a limited edition with a roof vent,which i find a little odd so you must check the GC8 number fitted to the car on the n/s/f suspension mount under bonnet.Good luck mate.

He states that the roof vent is fitted to some limited models......the roof vent may have been ordered as an option from subaru or added at a later date???

Yes thats fine i can answer that for you, its from when i had the facelift bonnet and vents painted, also front bumper. They were painted around 8 month ago, as these dont come facelift untill after like a 99 i think.

That code is from a 1994/95 WRX,and the same code appears 1995/96 WRX,but with the car being a M reg it's likely to be a 1994/95,and both models are 260 BHP 228lb per ft.

Their was abit of confusion of a WRX having a roof vent and badged up has a RA daft lad so stu was asking the question, for all we no it could have been a bit dodgey.Now that model code proves what it actually is.
