don't think if it's a silver one. STI RA is white, RA is white or red iirc.

checked the id number by the strut top and its a std wrx, but hey if was an ra it would have been a bonus but wrx is fine for £1k, just need to get the lump out and rebuild/upgrade some stuff for future bigger power - any good links for ideas as to where to start?

RA wouldn't have made any difference really on a wrx. If it was an STI then you'd be quids in due to all the DCCD malarky. Check if you've got a closed deck block
