[edit] Irukandji syndrome
Been meaning to msg you for a while, but have had much laziness to contend with :-)
Wow and thanks. Verily you rock.

[edit] re: RA
Ah, interesting source of references. My reference comes from the HyperRev magazines of Japan that focus solely on the Impreza, it's history and it's mods. I've actually sent an e-mail to Subaru of America to hear their response. Perhaps one can be sent to Subaru of Japan as they did build the Type RA versions. I will get a Japanese-fluent friend to do as such.

[edit] Update
Interestingly, Subaru of Japan's official response in the e-mail is as follows: この度はご質問をお寄せいただきまして有難うございました。 日頃はスバル車にご関心をお寄せくださいまして誠に有難うございます。
スバルインプレッサTYPE RA－Rの「RA」の意味は、 Rがレーシング、AがグループAという意味を持っています。
今後共にどうぞスバルを宜しくお願い申し上げます。

It translates to R = Racing, A = Group A (for WRC class, Group A racing)
[edit] Type RA marketting
The Type RAs were used to homologate for Group N rallying. I think the chassis was used for the Group A homologations before the 1997 change to the WRC class, aka Group A8. It is also possible that the acronym has changed over the years to adjust to what marketers need. I noticed the Legacy RS-RA, which set endurance records had RA as "Record Attempt". This was also shown for the 2005MY WRX STI Spec C Type RA that managed to lap the Nurburgring track under 8 minutes.

Correct, I presume I forgot to log in. Thank you, much appreciated. Ken Gillman 08:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
