Just picked up my new toy as I sold the RB5.

Well this is it, a Type RA Spec C Hawkeye in white, with all the pink sti goodies attaching the wheels to the car.
Not many of these in the county (not quite sure but between 4 or 8 depending who you ask and one of those has been badly damaged), only 350 built worldwide.

This has been remapped on a Hydra ECU including anti lag with a sports cat and straight through from cat back. Rest is standard Type RA.

Planning some changes to the wheels - and the pink wheels nuts!

Thanks for comments.

Forgot to take some engine pics!

Anti lag will remain of, I think it was mapped on because the ECU had the feature, but the twin scroll has no lag so no need for it, plus it has a sports cat!

Still struggle to comprehend how much quicker it is than my PPP RB5. Although the small fuel tank and big thirst may limit it's ability on a hoon.

Thanks for the good comments.

No clips of the engine, as I say although it has AL I won't run it.
The twin scroll turbo spools so quickly at anything above 3k that anti lag really is not needed for anything other than a fun noise.

My only concerns so far are the limited range on the smaller tank and quite a thirsty map, I'll do well if I get 200 miles between fill ups so hoons will now need pit stops!

Wheels are now growing on me but I think I'll get them sprayed in anthracite, plus they are apparently lighter than the ones I was thinking of getting.

Also probably going to do something about the gold brembros, wish I had not sold my RB with the AP's!

Looks lovely that Jim! unfortunately I'm selling my RB5 at the moment, just wish I could replace it with something like that! (insurance is killing me frown)
