Is there a 2 door WRX RA???
My friend insists that there is s 2 door WRX RA.... (non-STi) (GC8 of course)
Supposedly the base for the 22b, however, I have never in my life come across a 2 door RA..... they have all been 4door.....
It says there is one on the SIDC database, but I have never seen one either in an ad or in the flesh..... or when googling or anything...
I am under the impression that all 2 doors are simply "Type R"..... but was there ever a 2door Type R RA??!

There are Type R WRX V Limited which has no skirts etc as standard. Its basically a 2door WRX as it hasent got the STI engine or brakes/ dcd etc although it has a roof vent. Perhaps this is the version he means?

22B is based on the V4 Type R not RA.
whilst searching i found this

so by the looks of it your friend is correct

scubbay is right in that you can get a Type R WRX.
Some did refer to it as a 2 door RA because when the first one was on here, most people said it was bodge JDM build before realising it was possible to get a non-sti Type R.

As above, Type R refers to the 2 door bodyshell (the R comes from the "Retna" which was the 2 door impreza N/A)

I own a type-R wrx v-limited. As far as im aware it just shares some of the same parts as the ra, ive never heard it called an ra tho. Mine has the same close ratio box as the ra , the ali wish bones and the ali bonnet, Mine also has a vf22 turbo, not sure if this came on the ra or not but i dont think its on a 4 door wrx as standard.As stated in some of the posts above, mine also comes without the skirts and spats. It also had a very small spoiler, ive added the sti one and the front lip.
Here is some pics of it.
