■About LEGACY RS type R & type RA
There may be many people who do not know first generation
Legacy RS "typeＲ" & "typeRA"
●RS-Ｒ
The debut of first Legacy was the end of January,
1989 (February 1 release). The turbo car was only sedan RS of
5MT at first.
In October, the same year, RS-R is added in accordance with
a debut of GT which is a turbo car of a wagon (and 4AT version
of sedan RS).
It is written with "a basic grade model of RS which is
suitable as the material of a competition car for motor sports"
and a new car commentary book.
RS-R、Ａtype
●RS-ＲA
In November, '89 (December 1 release), pure competition
car base for motor sports, RS-RA of a STi tune appear.Therefore
the position of RS-R became considerably vague debut two months
later.
It is written with a new car commentary book with "the
order production RA memory model that executed engine fine-tuning
same as the challenge car that 100000km speed records RS-R in
a base."
RA seems to mean, 100000km speed record challenge "RECORD
ATTEMPT" instead of RA of Rally.
(There is an opinion that RA means "Race groupA")
RS-RA put a fine tune to a rally and a dirt trial competition
to be based on RS-R more.
As for the engine, forging piston and high resist pressure
connecting rod metal are built in, and, as for the intake port
and exhaust port, it is revised gap and polished up.
A crankshaft and the flywheel which got of balance are mounted
the car with.If it is a beginner's class level, suspension is
strengthened to the rank who can participate as it is.Variable
ratio power steering is important, too.As for this, the steering
gear ratio becomes quick.
Without close ratio transmission, it was announced as 100-limited
model at first.Actually, seem to have continued job-order production
of 20 monthly productions.
Long-awaited close ratio transmission was carried than a B type
from May, '90, and increased with a catalogue model.
Engine specifications do not change from a latter period
model C type, but ECU becomes 16bit, and a torque up in middle
low rev .(be said by an emission control that became mild) and
continued to exist to the last D type, and handed over a duty
of RA of legacy to impreza WRX-RA with full model change-over,
and the grade of RA disappeared from legacy.

Engine
RS-R
The engine & Transmissions are the same as RS.
RS-RA
based on RS-R and handcrafted RA tuning same as 100000km
speed record car（RA：RECORD ATEMPT）
- crank shaft, flywheel and clutch cover hand finish balance
- induction system（cylinder head、intake manifold） hand finish
repair gaps and polishing
- A gold Alumite treatment surface cam cover

●RS-R
- Hardened coil spring,damper and bush(equal with STi product)
(except rear differential mount, trailing arm rear side, a stabilizer)
- Adoption of three spoke steering MOMO "COBRA"
- Adoption of an advan "GROVA" high grip tire
- The abolition of steering assist power change over switch
●RS-RA
Difference with RS-R
- A variable quick power steering
gear ratio In going straight：15
(over all) In full steering ：13
- Hardened coil spring、 damper
