one tip I will give. DO NOT OPEN THE ROOF SCOOP AT SPEED. It will take off your fingers and snap and dent the roof. Well mine did. Its fine to have open at speed just make sure the act of opening it occurs at 30mph or less. Brilliant litle thing in the summer though.
I agree, check the seals and regularly tighten up the bracket and hinge to ensure it locks tight and has no play when it's open (the flap is okay up to about 80mph)typezerora said:

Do all of the 'RA' models have a roof scoop? I've been browsing the classifieds looking at them but some of them don't seem to have the scoop, e.g;

Roof vent is on the "V-Limited" R and RA models
Pretty sure all the STi-RAs have it (for homologation) but only V-ltd STi-Rs. Not sure about WRX-RAs.You do see a lot of misadvertising though - people claiming/thinking their car is an STi-RA whether its a normal STi, WRX, WRX-RA or one of the various other limited editions. The only real way to tell is from the chassis code, though DCCD is a major giveaway too - if it doesn't have DCCD its not an STi-RA.

I'm not sure that either of those are actually STi-RAs - first one looks like a WRX-RA ltd and second maybe a regular STi.http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2261344.htm

Try www.type-ra.co.uk for a forum dedicated to them.
