Hi from NZ - version 3 STI RA
 

Hey guys,

great forum with loads of interesting info! I'm new, so thought I'd show my pride and job off.

I've had it since 76 000km's and haven't done much. Just a few bolt on's for now...

Version 3 STI Type RA

When I first bought the car in stock form:

I'll add pics of the rest of the parts over the next few days.

Excellent!

Lots of like here.

Nice car - do you own all those rims still, or just the CRs now and they are previous rims?

Welcome to Perth-WRX

I have some of your photos of the speedline wheels in my collection. Very nice!

Likelikelike!

Welcome to Perth-WRX. Those shots of the Kiwi Scenery are making me homesick!! Love the car!

Been a fan of this car for ages after seeing it on rs25! Always preferred the white on white speedlines.

Lovely car! Certainly have helped me choose rims for my v3 STi RA when the time comes!

Keep the pics coming and welcome aboard.

I have them speed lines

Welcome! Have seen your car around the 'net quite a lot... absolutely love it!

Thanks for all the comments! I've just started a new job, so haven't had much time to update this thread, but will do it soon.

[B]ImPreSiV[/B] I sold the other rims, so just have the CR Kai's and a set of recently acquired Advan RG's ( for now...).

look great with STi mud flap

sigh, i wish mine looked as clean as this!!

Great looking car mate. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks guys!

Bit dirty under there...! ( for now ) :rolleyes:

Haven't driven my car for 7 weeks now, I blew a synchro which my mechanic replaced along with a few bearings however this started a wine ( sounded like a dog-box! ) and he hasn't been able to pin point the problem! The box has been in and out 4 times now! Time for a new mechanic...

Bought a used manifold as mine starting to peel again! Can't wait to fit it!

Wish I didn't see those pics... I already desperately want a set of Work Emotions, that that just made things worse! Car is looking amazing, shame about the box.

[QUOTE=Patch;679220]I already desperately want a set of Work Emotions.[/QUOTE] Same here :-) Waiting for tax time haha.

I've made a few changes since my last post:

EJ207 for a 2002 V7 STI - in the process of swapping the wiring loom over to suit the variable valve timing heads and V8 STI ECU. Hope to get the car back up and running by the end of the week - can't wait to drive it again!

Just realised I haven't posted in this thread for ages... Haven't done much to the RA for a while as its running really well - apart from gearbox issues... V3 DCCD boxes are hard to come by these days so will most likely put a 6 speed in.

The engine bay as it is now.

I've been putting all of my time and effort into the 99 Version 5 STI Type R I bought last year. I'll start a build thread for it soon.
