Aaron's 2000 GC8 STI Type-RA Limited

Hey there! As some of you may know my I moved to Japan and my white rs is now my brothers. Well after a few months of searching I found the car I wanted and bought it soon thereafter. It has a very long name, Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type-RA Limited. That long name means it is super special.
I intended on waiting to take better pics before I put this up, but I've had it for a couple of weeks now and have yet to get around to taking better pics.

Nice looking car! Congrats.

 

Very envious, it is almost mean to post that on a US forum. Congratulations!

 

We definitely felt it but the tsunami didn't make it far enough inland to hit us. Power was only down for four days There still working on getting power back on some parts of base. I still feel aftershocks everyday. Earthquakes suck...

 

Congrats Aaron that is sexy.... And glad to here your ok man I was think about but was not sure how to get in touch with you plus I lost you bro's number.....

 

HOT car! Glad you are safe.

 

I'm very jelly of this...

 

no doubt, over 500 aftershocks 20 greater than 6.0.
Was just looking at some of the pics of devastation, just aweful.

 

First off I'm glad you are ok and fine. Second holy nice car batman! Very jealous. How does it feel? Pretty strong for a stock car?

 

Very nice ride Aaron.
Wonder what it would cost to bring that back stateside.

 

He's in the military I am sure they will help out....

 

oh shit, dude!

 

Glad to see that you bought a GC even though your options are endless being over there. Very envious of you right now! HAHA. Keep us updated!

 

It pulls like a mofo! Peformance wise it is stock. i'm hoping to buy a turboback exhaust soon. I'm having my dad ship me my Spearco TMIC and K&N intake. I'm super excited. There is a time attack at a local track I want to enter but I need to get some good performance tires and brakepads.

 

How are you getting adjusted to RHD and driving on the wrong side of the road??

 

RHD wasn't too hard and neither was driving on the left side of the road. It is hard to judge were the left side of the car is though. I curbed the back left wheel a couple of time already, but it was already pretty rashed up when I bought it.

 

this is awsome

 

Aaron, send me a V6 grill from JPN! (-_^)

 

What is this JPN you speak of? I didn't know they made a v6 grill! It must cook burgers super fast.


I might be going to a junkyard this weekend I'll look around for ya

 

ha i fell ya on this.. ive done that a couple of times while i was in london... but congrats on the car purchase looks beautiful... cant wait to see more

 

Put some new pics up. Wish I had a better camera...

 

Those views look awesome...as well as the ride

 

i don't think they do that anymore

 

NICE..how popular is the gc8 chassis over there?

 

Up here in Misawa there are literally 3 or 4 subarus in every parking lot. They are everywhere. There is only one other RA Limited on bas though and it is a little older than mine.

 

Went to the track last weekend...

Time for amber corners???!?!?!11

 

Drool.

 

Took a few pictures before I swapped over to snow tires

 

So this car has the EJ207 in it right?

 

And a new video.

Yes

 

Is the motor nice and quiet vs many of the custom forged Ej257's here?

 

Very smooth feeling and sounding as well. Stock redline is 8250. The ej257 is over squared imo. Doesn't feel as smooth. As for noise. It is pretty quiet. I have a catless 3in turboback with no resonators that is surprisingly quiet.
