09 plate hatch Type RA.
Saw one of these in town today.
After I realised it WAS a Scoob, (I thought it was a Rover 25 with quad exhausts
), I noticed the Type RA badge.
What's the difference?

None such model.....afaik
Some hatch owners have added cosworth badges, some Spec C badges, some 380S badges... and now some Type RA ?
Each to their own I guess
Maybe some will start adding Rover badges... now that would be something

It was in the bottom LH corner of the hatch, rectangular, shiny metal with "Type RA" on it in black.
If it was specially made, it cost a bit

Maybe it's RadioActive?
One of the new Nuclear powered Scoobies?

No Hatch RA
Sounds like another classic owner clinging to the past
You noticed the RA badge, did you not think to look if it was a 3 door?

There was a guy that posted on here about 12 months ago from Norway or somewhere with a red Spec C hatch, did not know they made those and have not seen a mention of one since.
As said above prob just a sticker on a standard STI.

Yep
Just can't let go, these are the sort of people that buy a jumper that they liked in all the colours available, just incase they can't get it again.

That's more believable, owing to the fact there must be a few re-built Cosworth forged 2008 STI's out there now...
I saw a Range Rover Sport with the rear lettering swapped to C O S W O R T H.. now that confused me..

Don't know why anyone should be surprised as if he was dumb enough to buy a hatch in the first place he is obviously going to be dumb enough to stick the wrong badges to it!

Type RA's have rear doors, it's Type R's that don't

Never far away when the Hatch is mentioned are you F1.
Come on take a deep breath and come out. You will feel so much better when you get the courage to admit your secret desire to own one. It's just so obvious mate.
You live for the words "Subaru Hatch"

I can remember the day I picked up my new 330S.
I remember feeling much more excited with my new purchase than previous purchases.
The hatch STI's I believe look more meanacing.
Good luck salsa-king, but those 8 days are gonna f'ing drag in I bet

And then you woke up and the pillow was gone, LOL

urban started it with the 'menacing' comment. The hatch is many things, but menacing is not one of them LOL!
Anyway can't stop, have some rust holes to go and fill
