Nice mod list. We've only gotten a few RS-RA motors and half-cuts here, so they're quite rare in the States... I got hold of one of them and installed it in my '91, with a mod list quite similar to yours; apart from the transmission (I still have the original 3.90 5MT) I have a reasonable imitation but with a 2.5L block.

Thanks guys, Stipro,i have many times done paekakariki hill rd among many others.
Although i'd rather put it away in storage but i love driving it.
I've tuned it for response and handling without getting stupid,
so many cars over here are so poorly thought out and setup.
Next year i will enter into some closed sealed road events and eventually the New zealand Targa.
Aerotech, i've seen your ride sometime ago; in performance terms the RA engine is not really that great, but in a nostalgic sense it is and for the time it was.
As you know each crank was signed by the mechanic who put it together, the heads hand ported etc sure they are Hydraulic lifter types and a bitch to maintain but it's an originalty factor.
So simply put: "I want!!!!!!"
I have to agree with Matt on this one, that is pure rolling sex right there! Thank you for the large images because they will be my computer monitor's background for some time!
*major droolage!*
The only thing I have to question is the eBay generic manual boost controller. Do you feel safe trusting that over a brand name model?
IIRC, everywhere but North America got the facelift as a '91.
A '94 in most other countries was a BD/BG. Same with Imprezas, an '01 is a bugeye to most people.
