Main difference is front and rear bumper, rear spoiler and side skirts are different. Some interior parts are slittly different . Main difference is tommy kera produces more power . Hope this helps

I think also it had the full complement of STI optional extras. Not 100% sure on that though.

I always thought TK's were built using pre'96 WRX RA's

The ones ive seen have alloy intercooler (ARC i think), TK's own Orange dash dials,orange gauges to match the dials placed in center console, TK steering wheel,TK Wheels, TK mapped ECU and obviously the bodykit.

I,m sure the Tommy k,s were all based on the wrx ra......named M20b with a plaque on the suspension turret....

Are you sure thats not a type r thats had the bodykit and stickers added...???

thats not a TK rear spoiler either....its the S201 rear wing...???

It's seems to be a very rare car if it turns out to be a real Tommy Kaira and not a fake one.

Are tk's worth more than a standard classic?
If so how much?
And in what way is the kit different?

No.
Nothing.
It's a shi*e body kit and cosmetic items fitted for early followers of gash body furniture.

That blue R is no TK.

They have no real following now, back in 90's Japan they were quite a thing as their tastes were quite wild. You've just got to look at the crazy stickers subaru used to put on the boot lids to understand Japanese taste back then....lol....

TK also did a newage version which was a little less 'in ya face'.

The ecu had a chip in the socket if that's what you mean.
