| impreza wrx type ra |
| specification: styling - mean and nasty performance - quick handling - sticks like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth insurance cover - god i hope so fuel economy - no suspension - supple (not) extras - big smiles all round |
| the subaru impreza wrx starts life as your average family sedan, four doors, four seats, four wheels and a bit of four wheel drive thrown in - then they start throwing bits in like a turbo, intercooler, synchron bronze clutch, low ratio diffs. and gearbox, and some look-a-like corrin mcway (that's collin mcray in japanese) rally lighting Then the STI boys get hold of it and start pulling bits out, no more electric windows, light weight body panels and a dark ages back seat arrangement, to produce the RA - a fairly faithful clone of a group N rally machine and a fairly serious piece of kit |
| this is a '92 RA, one of the early ones with 160Kw and a kerb weight of something like 1150kg making this one even faster than some of the more powerful later models due to it's lean mass The styling is clean and the stance of this one on its 16 inch alloys and after market gab suspension makes the proprtions look right. No boy racer wings or big bore exhausts here - just a purposeful looking package |
