August 18, 200619 yr what is RA? 4 door jdm sti with i think a better suspension and tranny set up, the type ra was the 4 door, the type r is the 2 door. me thinks.
August 18, 200619 yr In total, including engine, tranny, rear end, custom work you have had to pay to get done, how much does it run roughly?
August 18, 200619 yr Author In total, including engine, tranny, rear end, custom work you have had to pay to get done, how much does it run roughly? less than a new subaru!!!
August 18, 200619 yr 4 door jdm sti with i think a better suspension and tranny set up, the type ra was the 4 door, the type r is the 2 door. me thinks. That is pretty close, the Type RA and R also had a slightly more powerful engine.
August 18, 200619 yr less than a new subaru!!!I love the answer. Well depending upon where you get the front clip from and how complete it is and how much of the work you can do yourself, I would say a good ballpark figure would be somewhere between $4,000 and $6,000. It could be less and it could be a lot more, there are a lot of variables there. My Type R creation probably cost close to $12,000 (the paint alone is over $500 a gallon), but now I have truly a one of a kind car, there may be several out there that look like mine, but I have never seen one that is exactly like mine.
August 18, 200619 yr 4 door jdm sti with i think a better suspension and tranny set up, the type ra was the 4 door, the type r is the 2 door. me thinks. So the RA is still a type of RX it was just the jdm version with better stuff?
August 18, 200619 yr So the RA is still a type of RX it was just the jdm version with better stuff?' mm RA was only in the GC body styles of the later genertaion of Subarus using the Impreza line-up. The RX and XT6 were the powerhouses of Subaru back in the day though
August 18, 200619 yr oo alright. sorry that i dont know this stuff. im just trying to learn. thanks. nice car btw.
August 18, 200619 yr So the RA is still a type of RX it was just the jdm version with better stuff?No, a Type RA is a version of a WRX. Dave has just put a RA drive train in his EA82 series car (for the second time).
August 18, 200619 yr No, a Type RA is a version of a WRX. Dave has just put a RA drive train in his EA82 series car (for the second time). oh ok thank you. so he is putting in the ej series motor, and the drivetrain. thank you for clarifying that .
