C J K Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Anyone had one ? I am waiting for a guy(dealer) to get back to me to see if and how much p/x for my Typhoon...initial email he sounded interested.Fookin fingers crossed cause i haven't had no luck selling it privately,dusni help when i aint got the patience for the long drawn wait on someone to bite lol. He has a couple of m plate RA's that look really clean low milers....will be severly doon in the dumps if this goes Chebs up. The RA would be a more or less every day car,no long motorway drives so the short gearing wont be a major issue,anything else to think about? here's hoping,Colin
jamie_wood Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 If you can live with the gearing then thats sound. Just the lack of electrics, aircon, and sound deadnin' to think about too. Just do it. You wont regret it. Push for an STI though
jodie typeRA Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 i got 1 mate like jamie said iff you can live with the gearing go for it oh and lack off top end speed. i dont do alot off miles in my car and most of it is town driving so i find the gearing great. motorway driving can be loud[Y].ear plugs could sort that out lol.. thay come into there on on A/B roads mine has aircon and elec windows mirrors. this was an option when it came out so you might get them or at least the aircon have a look on www.type-RA.co.uk loads off info to be had
iain_ogston Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 As the owner of an M reg WRX RA (slightly upgraded) I can heartily recommend an RA if you can live without silly toys on your car and the gear ratios (cruising at 70mph = 4000RPM). Want sound deadening, electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, aircon, hear your stereo over the exhaust and turbo? Buy an E class Merc.....
C J K Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Cool link ,thanks for that..its a dealer down the lake district Mate. www.fgperformance.co.uk no phone number in website !!...mmmmmmm[^o)]
wrxmania Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Mine is not far off - maybe I have an RA box - it is 4000RPM at about 78 - 80 IIRC
ANDYJDMSTI Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Mine is not far off - maybe I have an RA box - it is 4000RPM at about 78 - 80 IIRC I doubt it..................my plain old WRX was exactly the same!
wrxmania Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah - it is just a standard box but can't imagine it being much less relaxing - but hey [] Not why I bought it.
the squiggle Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah - it is just a standard box but can't imagine it being much less relaxing - but hey [] Not why I bought it. Thats what the Luxury Liner of Doom is for
wrxmania Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Correct [] You don't have any wheels in your vast collection with good tyres for sale that'll fit over 4 pots do you?
the squiggle Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 No they were STOLEN from my back yard STOLEN by a bloody lowlife I have my suspicions who stole them as all the evidence points towards them and with they Advans being quite rare i will spot them again. Imagine stealing off another forum member, bloody lowlife scrote
the squiggle Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Terrible - stolen by a forum member? Pretty much convinced of it All the evidence says so esp as the Freelander wheels and decent tyres were untouched along with the Flymo. The Subaru alloys and bald tyres were the only things stolen
C J K Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Back to the RA[] Fgperformance have never got back to me,no phone number on website sounds a bit dodgy ...naw? No numbers in yell.com etc.Emailed them a few times but nowt back from them. Gonna have a look at HiSoobs WRX tomorrow[Y] Colin
wrxmania Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Good on you - at least that one will be an honest sale! Good luck.
dan_jess Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 C J K i sent you a pm with the 2 numbers for fg performance [Y]
C J K Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Not got them numbers through yet Dan and how did you find them !...do you know the company?
dan_jess Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I went on ther site, the contact link sends u to ther email enquiry, but if u click on the cars, the 2 numbers r up on the left of the screen []
C J K Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 AAAHHH see it noo,the header on my pop of the car pic is cutting half the number off,can just about make it out. Thanks for that[:$]
dan_jess Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 No probs m8 Let me know how u get on, im still on the lookout for a new car, tho i think im gonna hold off till may-june time Dan
