Up until japfest I would of said RA-R but after seeing a s204 up close I'd go for one of them every time ,,,but I think a lot depends on what you want out of it as I see the RA-R as more of a track based car and the s204 a bit more luxury

Neither is better per se than the other it is purely down to opinion.
S204 for me any day of the week.
It's more refined and a generally more pleasant place to be. It's also a very fast car in capable hands.
The RA-R is quite extreme. On a track it would be incredible but I'm not so sure it's worth it for use on the road, it would hardly streak away if being followed by an S204.

You're bang on about the price busta.
It's swings and roundabouts on the exchange rate, in five or ten years Yen will probably be peanuts like they were in 2005.

It's crazy I know, I looked into it, but I had a budget in mind, but that went well over, so thought sod it I can't afford to throw money away like that,
But there is quite a few kicking about on the import websites, some right beauty's, but ask yourself why non are coming over here. People are not daft I suppose, unless the stupidly rich.

Out of interest what's the chassis difference between an S204 and RA or RA-R, is it solely the additional performance dampers on the s204?
From my understanding the inverted dampers, springs and pillow ball joints etc are common across all three?

I believe the S204 was based on a JDM sti with all the sti catalogue thrown at it where as the RA and RA-R was based on the Spec-c chassis with the sti parts but the ra-r also had the 6 pot brembo brakes up front.

And as I thought all three have the same pink goodies.
But the s204 has the two additional dampers.
The RA and RA-R share all parts but have different turbos, brakes and 18's (and no wings on the RA-R).
