Default Sti ra or wrx ra??

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2464374.htm

Guys just gathering some info on the above and the seller tells me its just a wrx ra but after looking deeper in to it a GC8C47D shows up as a V1 wrx sti ra!!

Any thoughts please, btw he sent me a picture of the vin plate confirming this.

looks like a wrx-ra to me i cant make out if it has the roof vent or not? the roof vent and DCCD would confirm it being a sti-ra, there is also no mention of the DCCD, also i would be be wary of buying any car running a boost controller as you don't know how much abuse it has had before when messing with the boost controller.

i am after a STi-RA as well, what i have noticed is that they do vary in price quite a bit £2500 up to £5500.
of course the difference being age mileage, trade or private i suppose.
but the big question remains...will i have to fight the OP for the best car?

Looks like a WRX RA to me....also the sti wing badges are replicas not original.

Didn't think that the earliest RA's had roof vents........ The link isn't working for me at the moment, I'll try again a little later

the car runs five injectors instead of the standard four, which again allows the car to run higher boost levels much more safely.
