type r isnt it? thought they were all sti

 

No, its a V4 WRX Type R V-Limited.

 

............or as some people like to call it, the myth that is the Type R RA.

 

you know what i meant clever clogs

 

As said its not an sti but the WRX type R..

 

He is a special bloke, and so is his vehicccle

 

it has sti on the rev counter??

 

yes with 7500rpm rev limit on the wrx type r iirc.. not the 8000rpm sti

 

That Type R has a proper center console badge Crygo....

 

+1. I believe the V4 STI Type R didn't get the roof flap but the WRX version did.

 

I thought there was no such thing as a V limited, it was a made up by people with a version 5 limited?

 

No, the Limited is Version 5/6 ....V Limited from Version 2-4

 

You are the man

 

cool, whats usually the difference between a stocker and a v limited? I know the RA's are stripped of refinements, lighter bonnet etc so what does the v limited get, or not get?

 

found this, seem to be a few people who contest the V limited thing?

I think you need to read that link again....

 

Yeah, just read it and saw the bit about the V being dropped after Version 4, doh.

I'll get my coat............

 

so whats the difference between an sti and a v-limited?

 

Its a special edition car.

 

So what is this car then?


2 door shell
wrx running gear
no dccd
stripped of all creature comforts

About right?

 

 

Correct apart from the creature comforts part. My V5 STI RA Ltd has all the RA parts (intercooler spray, roof flap, no abs, DCCD, low gear ratios, quick-shift & quick steering rack) but because it was the special edition that Subaru charged a fortune for it has electric mirrors, electric window, central locking & air-con.

I'm presuming the WRX Type R V-Limited has all the comforts as well (but even though there was one in our club I have never actually seen one in the flesh).

 

thought the leccy windows etc were options?

 

On normal RA's they were, the RA Ltd's got all the toys. The Ltd's were practically top of the range and cost a premium over the standard WRX / STI.

It goes against the principal of the RA being the entry level cheapest Impreza because it didn't have all the toys but Subaru cashed in on the RA's cult following (and produced a very nice car in the process - but then I'm biased ).
