1994 Impreza WRX-RA ?? Is It ?

[ItsTheRS]

Sup guys, well ive been looking around for a deal and i think...ive found one. Now as far as i know the australian market never sold RA models but im not 100% sure then i came across this...

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=11359621&__Qpb=1&Cr=14&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216 1246 1247 1252 1282 4294963801 904 408&SearchAction=N&silo=1011&__No=15&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=35&__sid=131F91D294ED

Im pretty convinced it is an RA model BUT the owner doesnt state it ? i was pretty suprised to see the roll-up windows, im no expert so maybe they all (GC models) came out with them ? Im going to go around and have a look in the next few days so, can any help me what to look for to ensure that it is or is not an RA model ??

Cheers, Marsh

**Also, black door handles/mirrors ?

Dont RA's have roof vents? or is it just some of the models?

heres a thread i found that might help you after a quick search on here:

I know what a V2 RA should have, not sure how different V1 and V2 are but that car doesn't have the 5th injector on top of the manifold or an intercooler spray bottle in the engine bay

Its got pretty low km's for a car that old though

Yup, low ks +1. I think its just a normal wrx with lightweight mirrors/handles installed/boot lining removed. I dont think V1/V2 are much different. For future refernce for others. i know the codes are GC8A47D for V1 and GC8B47D for v2. Which btw i found a rather interesting chart for all of you (shown below) and also the MY93 RAs gearbox numbers are TY752VB3BA and MY94 RAs are TY752VB3DA ;D RAs also have nill foglights & nill side skirts.

No ic spray bottle, no 5th injector, spotlights (maybe a factory addition from new?)

I would say no to it being an ra, but thats just comparing it to my ra
