Hey Sharkster! Welcome to an exclusive club of RS owners! cos i think there are only a 4 RS's left in SL

Yeah i forgot the early 3rd Gen & later 2 Gen cars are very similar outside of the chassis change. and your right there isn't any of those in SL

actually i'm pulling out the engine to get a small Oil leak done and i'm checking every inch of it to see how well it's running.

if you need any info on the sequential system give me a shout will be happy to help, also word of advise other than doing a single turbo swap be very careful when playing with the sequential system

Drake, Are there only 4 cars aound? I met the owner of the black 301 series car last saturday and he has no intention of selling. Is the silver car 19-1515 yours? Heard that Na*****'s old car is smashed.

So what else is available?

Well as far as i know there is 19-5959 which Sharkster just bought, my car which is 1515, there is another 19- purple RS that was orginaly silver and the 301 car.

Outside of that there was Na**** car which was 300- & which i also heard was smashed and there was one other silver RS that was converted to Single Turbo & was then crashed and due to some issue with the lease the car was never repaired

The RS has a 250bhp TT engine 4wd while the B4 is a 280bhp TT engine with AWD, in the B4 setup the sequential TT change over system was improved thus very little drop in performance as the secondary turbo comes on.

In stock standard setup and with everything in good working order the B4 is about 0.6 seconds faster than the RS.

Terence I think you have your reply, the above was in the second page of this post

Further to my earlier post basicaly upto the 2nd Gen the RS was the performance model of the Legacy from the 3rd Gen the performance model was called B4, also in european & aus markets the cars were called the GT & GT-B (can't remember if that was only for the wagons though)

Coz advertising on the forum is considered a cardinal sin.

Just quote the market price of an unreg Evo !!!!

Helping somebody with the market price of a vehicle is not a sin

I believe what was requested was the price of a particular car which is on sale. THAT is advertising, which ever way u wanna try and cut it.

BTW it was an STi. If u didn't read the post closely enough to pick up the details, I'm not suprised u missed that it could be advertising, but that really does leave u in no position to raise an objection.
