Re: 94 sti type ra up for sale again
Post up a pic of the vin plate with the model number, that will confirm exactly what model it is
It should read:
GC8C47D (If its an Oct 94 to Aug 95 STi RA)
Before Oct 94 there was NO STi RA made! Only WRX RA
GC8A47D - Nov 92 to Sep 93 - WRX RA
GC8B47D - Oct 93 to Sep 94 - WRX RA
And it was only in Aug 95 that they changed the number 7 to a D to signify the STi RA
GC8C4DD - Aug 95 to Aug 96 - STi RA
Hope this helps

Re: 94 sti type ra up for sale again
anybody can throw in an sti interior in
this will help your sale lad, if its an sti someone will probably buy it, if not it wont be worth as much!
put up the chassis code and we will tell you what you have.
were did you get the engine from and who fitted it?

Re: 94 sti type ra up for sale again
Oct. 93 - Sep. 94
WRX = GC8B48D
STI = GC8B48D
Could be a WRX or could be an STI, as in the Version 1 they didn't change the model code. It was only changed in the late version 2 onwards.
It is defo NOT an RA

Re: 94 sti type ra up for sale again
Just found a very good post on scoobynet which might answer your question as it would appear your chassis code isn't going to answer it
Unfortunately, theres a lot of bollocks talked about early STIs. 'Redtop'; STI lamps, fog lamps (early cars were fitted with them); production numbers etc. Because these cars were 'altered production' (meaning that they were retro-converted from completed production WRXs) they share the same GC8B48D Applied Model Number as the production WRXs.
One simple way to tell is to look at the ECU in the passenger side footwell. If its a U8, W6, W9, or 2C: sorry, youre driving a WRX. If its an SA (or an SC in an original 'Wagon) then its an STI. This ECU was only used in the 300 limited edition cars. The red line will be higher on an STI too, although clocks are easily changed.

Roof vent can be bought cheap second hand and not the hardest thing in the world to fit although takes time. But the model code tells all, Its not an RA.
But may still be an STI alright

Re: 94 sti type ra up for sale again
Sorry to be the one to tell ya this but the model number and Subaru themselves aren't lying mate.
There was NO STi RA before Oct 94. If yours was made after this date it would be GC8C47D (Version 2) but its not.
So it doesn't matter what that guy says. It just can't be what you have it advertised as. Sorry.

I don't want to comment on what its worth or not but i will say that I can't get 3,000 for my standard 97 V3 STi without the extras.
I've been offered 3k with everything as is but not a hope I'll take that.
