I'm now the proud owner of an STI RA!
Bought my STI RA on Saturday from a member on here, Winker (Keith), and am delighted with my purchase.
Only been driving her for a few days but love her much better than my GT4.
Must say a big thanks to Winker, a genuine bloke who is as honest as the day is long, and the car is a minter!!
Time to change my username now I think

Cheers for the advice mate, I really have no idea whatsoever about the DCCD so just left it on open cos I didn't wanna break anything!
Is that the best setting for every day driving?

Nice RA mate

I leave the dccd in the second from bottom green for everyday and the first orange in icy/sleety weather

Yes. If its really wet turn the dial to the first yellow and remember not to try to manouvre at low speed unless its fully open or it WILL go bang! The basic rule is the more forwards you turn the dial the less oversteer and the more prone to understeer the car will be. Be careful in the wet especially around tighter bends and on roundabouts. However with practice and on a drift or race track its sooooo much fun....

Good stuff mate, I see after all my advice about STi's.............you went and bought one anyway
Seriously though, if I were to have a classic sti ( and she'd learn to drive and get a car of her own), it'd defo be an RA. If your gonna do it, do it right!!! Top man!!
All the very best with it.
