New toy joins the garage
Gave the Porsche some company... 1995 STi type RA. Might be the most fun car I have yet to own!

Looks very nice!

They're an econobox, but 2600lbs, 300hp, awd, close ratio gear box... it's a blast!

Someone took very good care of that car.
At first glance, I didn't read it was a 1995...awesome!

It's a repaint, but for it's age and being an RA (track focused) it's well cared for. Was optioned for street so might have led a slightly less abusive life.

Is that a Greddy exhaust? It looks just like the one on my 98 Prelude.

your exhaust muffler tip belongs on a diesel pickup truck.

Old school HKS exhaust, has a header and up/down pipe... other than that stock... Plan to keep it very period correct and just refresh all the wear items.
It really is the most fun car I have ever had. It just feels angry all the time... I love that.

Fun toy. Gotta have toys!
With right hand drive, a drive through is gonna suck unless you have a passenger.

WRC roof vent, since this was a homologation car it had the roof vent used by the WRC teams to pressurized the cabin and keep dust out.
