brown Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Im certain I want to buy a scooby Type r version 5, Ive seen the previous post by 'awster' asking about the 'RA' I know the 'RA' lacks the creature comforts, but the 'R' what does this include, elec windows? is it sound proofed? what turbo does the version five use? air con? Is it really that quick 4.5 secs? Does it guzzle like a Rabsie Nesbit? Do you know the mpg? Can anyone that has either experienced one or even own one, give me the low down. I know that I should test drive one but want the info 1st. Thanx Neil Link to comment

Type R Nobby Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 The Guy I met in Newbury on Wed has owned his IV 'R' since new in 97 and wouldn't part with it so I'm convinced I've bought the right one too. He said it's awesome and err 'econimical' (for what it is) to run too.... good on tyres, brakes etc... 43 days to go!! Link to comment

My MY00 WRX Type RA Limited came with : IHI VF29 Turbo runs about (1.2-1.3bar) Electric windows Electric wing mirrors Electric folding wing mirrors Climate Control (with air con) Central Locking Gold STI6 wheels Blue alcantara Seats Blue centre console Blue dash (<--------see icon) Ally bonnet Lightweight boot Lightened Glass (or so the rumour is) STI "Pink" suspension STi4 mid level spoiler "Sonic" blue paint (74F same colour as a 22B and P1) No stereo No speakers No underseal (soon sorted) No alarm (soon sorted) Very little sound proofing (only really noticeable after my cat back after market exhaust went on) Link to comment
aircrest Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Yep ........Got one of them........... I agree with Chrisp.........well most of it........think I've got most of that.......electronic centre diff (haven't used that) but yes very quick.....considering totally standard.......mine came with stereo and alarm but believe they were both fitted at importers in Sussex........my car actually MY99 and agrees with figures and spec on FAQ's.......but was first regestered new July 2000.....I wondered about the gap (time) and checked re the alarm installer who verified batch of these cars were held at the dealers for over six months.......... However in reply to your question........yes I am very pleased with it......and have no plans to change....at the moment......but you know how it is.........never say never..... Link to comment
chrisp Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 You lot are going to think me really sad for knowign this but there is a little white tag on the driver side selt belt which givea a date, persumably when the belts were installed into the car i.e. the build date of the car. Link to comment
