only just got it back from the west country and only driven the m4, so don't really know what it's like yet. i'll be building up slowly to this one after my experience with my first cosworth
it's a fairly standard 93 MY jap import bought off a friend of a friend and has just come back from easter weekend at the 'ring

Electronic they were changed 2 weeks ago, so i won't have to do it for a while
AlexF thanks matey. might take you up on that. the seller didn't appear to know much about it, but says it has an RA ecu fitted. why would that be? runs more boost?

Nice
Think the early RA's had the same bhp 240/260, think they might rev higher though?
Great cars for the money, i've had a few 93 WRX's and they were more reliable than my cossies...but not as much fun due to being 4wd....similar performance though again the cossie would be a little quicker in a straight once you got going.

AlexF thanks for that
haven't taken it above 5k rpm yet, so no idea about the ecu. ideally i'd like to get something programmable on there and have it setup - maybe an emerald

ive never actually liked subarus tbh until yesterday when my sister bought a brand new one! though its a non turbo but thank god it has the full prodrive kit on it and graphics lol
but after driving it im really liking the handling on them a lot different to the 4wd cossies
and id imagine the turbo versions are even better
good luck with it mate honestly iw ill take everytung back from what i say about scoobys from now on
and the version you have is the best looking anyhow

i think that i've bought in at the right time as it was very cheap and i think that the original shape will be a future classic. i started to like them about a year ago, looks wise, and was very impressed when alex kindly gave me a passenger lap in his RA at bedford a while back
