price for a v7 sti ra.

It would have to be either DPI or Simon right?

[newsuba]

Probably the former given the emphasis on weight.

There\'s some misinformation though...

The RA Spec had sharper throttle response and more torque, which may appear to indicate more power but no, it carried the same 206kW/276bhp rating as the standard STI.

[Pappu1]

the official power may have been 206kw but they were a lot more

as an example

3inch exhaust and pod filter and ebc on a otherwise stock spec c made 208kw@w at torque performance dyno

That reminds me... had anyone heard about these special JDM WRXs that are made up of all sorts of spare STi parts that were just lying around on the floor, and are as fast as an STi?

TP reads high according to most on here.../stir. But really a freeflow TB and EBC are mods so hardly stock IMO. Cars are very individual as far as making power goes. Most cars are "theoretically" higher than quoted gentlemans agreement.

[newsuba]

I tend to stick to the manufacturer\'s numbers.

remember all those rumours of the 22b making more than quoted power?

several put on a dyno made no more than quoted.

can\'t beat urban myth.

Lol the legendary "JDM Spec" WRX, seems like every dreamer selling a WRX knows all about this mythical beast nowadays. And boy oh boy do they get angry when you tell them there stock v4 isnt forged, isnt running more boost from factory, isnt light as a feather and the seats arent made of pure unicorn horn.

Oh dun get me started.

It is true that the jdm\'s from I think v4 onwards were making 280hp even in the wrx though I believe. I remember a friends completely stock v5wrx laying down 168kw atw so 280hp at the fly sounds about right.

Then again they were all running the larger TD05 or VF series turbos even in the normal wrx\'s by then I think

look likes this forum going good.

i gave up looking at the V7 RA, was a little out of my budget! plus my opinion the big eyes are a little ugly although this one did look not too bad.

just got myself a 1999 4 door STI RA. luvin it.
