its a retna as per the guy's auction - but he says been recovered etc - isint it that if its a stolen car, then u have to re-register/re VIN it if it has been played with?

im not too clued up on all this hence the cautios approach - a very close family member may be wanting it hence doing the research

more the point what the fuk it is? type R being 2 dr.. but roof scoop and watersprayer? did the v4 type R get one? And i've not seen a type R with roof scoop? and those random bonnet vents (not version 4) has a version 5/6 front bumper...

Almost a front end facelift minus the lights?

Version 4 type r.. what?

plate swap from other car - (thats how I read the auction)

and thats why its cheep!

 
prior to that it had been stolen and recovered by the police in aukland in a big operation involving many high performance subarus.

The theives had purchased non-turbo subarus and stolen Sti ones and swapped the chassis numbers, so this car is actually registered as a 1995 subaru retina!

i think its still doggy coz if its a stolen recovered then u will need to re-vin it if the original owner cannot be found as the car would have been de-reg after the bust up of the gang.... thats what i was thinking...

v4 wrx type r i think - roof scoop only came in the wrx rype r and not the sti type r shell...

I'll be seeing this car in the flesh sometime soon.

Note the engine has red cam belt cover's a 22b fitment item.

Whether they have been painted or they are the crinkle type finish remain's to be seen.

You do get STI Type R's with a roof vent. They're a STI Type R V-Ltd...

They're 22B replica bonnet vents.

It also has a Version 5 to 6 front bumper, version 6 wing, version 4 - 6 interior.

I think its a genuine Version 4 STi Type R V-Ltd. Inter cooler water spray and dccd make it convincing.

Nah, it's a mongrel, amongst the stuff you expertly spotted you missed the steering wheel.

All v4's got airbag steering wheels, that car has a v3 wheel.

 

Another mongrel;

V5/6 nose, v4 front bar, v6 rear wing.

Might not even be an STi coupe as it's missing the front lip, side skirts and rear apron usually found on STi coupes.

 

That guy wishes his car was that fast.

:P

The v5 special edition was plain Limited, no "V", confusion caused by close proximity of the "V" in "Version V".

:D

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
