1998 wrx ra gc8
 

Warm greetings and salutations to all members.

A little bit about myself...
Well, I have been a pround Torana owner and enthusiast for over 16 years. I still am, but something has happened to me lately. What can I say?
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so.

I recently purchased a 1998 WRX RA unlicensed. This is my first Japanese car and my first turbo, now the task ahead is to get her licensed and go forward from there.

Welcome! Pics of toranas please.

purple ra? cool!

best of luck getting her licensed mate.

Welcome.
Personal import?

Holy fuck that is nice.

Welcome mate.

Nice lookin rex! and yeahh torana please! :D

Was this for sale on the side of Alexander Rd, Dianella at any stage?

Seen this car try to sell for the last 4 years. there's a thread on here somewhere about the car, probably a garage thread.

Good luck with the license/registration.

Pics of torana :D

Sweet ra mate, welcome:)

The car was previously registered in Victoria, but has been in WA and unlicensed for the past 3 years.
The guy I bought it from was in Two Rocks, so it is possible it was for sale on the side of the road north of the river.
Yeah, I have seen the thread here from 2010 when he tried to sell it. It was overpriced and you guys shot him down in flames!
The panel and paint is looking a little bit tired at the moment, but I want to get it licensed first before I worry too much about that.
I took her over the pits last week. They did not pick too much really. I have found a set of stock GD rims and tyres here that will solve the oversize tyre issue, now I just need to find a few stock GC8 items like standard airbox, standard shocks & springs (it has adjustables on it now), standard BOV and an indicator arm switch that self-cancels.
