P1 or not P1
All P1's were mapped for UK super unleaded fuel with the addition of briquettes in the fuel tank to boost to octane rating.
The ECU was in essence a Version V STI with a tweak for additional knock safety as the UK had a lower octane rating for super unleaded fuel compared to the higher 100RON in Japan.

of course not !
I'll correct myself - it was a Version V ecu mapped for 100RON fuel with additional knock retardation for our lower rated UK fuel.
a poor effort by Subaru UK to make the car run on our super unleaded and the introduction of briquettes into the tank to get the octane up to higher level.

If I was buying an old classic I would want a more sorted engine (let's not forget what happens to the bottom end on these early cars), so ideally a new age block, keeping the original heads, better brakes up front like Brembo's, and new springs & dampers
Those totally original 20 y.old cars on 60K+ miles are tired out, and for me at £18,000 just ridiculous

Thank you for your info and help. I have a few cars and they all get driven to keep them fresh and this will be no exception. This car has only 39k miles so it can stand a few thousand being added. On a point you make about build number. I’m still getting mixed opinions on which suspension turret the build number is on. You’ve identified the off side but most people are saying the near side. Could you clarify please?
