If it doesn't have the engine plaques it's unlikely a V1 STi, the fact it doesn't have the seats either is unusual, The Nardi STi wheel says "STI" just below the horn button on the plastic ring so it wouldn't wear off

Exclamation RE: Same Model

My 94 has the same numbers on the vin and has a nardi steering wheel and gear ****, but i cannot understand those numbers, well i can but its just telling me i have an WRX/Sti thats not badged at all and has no colour to the manifold. One other thing that is on the vin plate is the B1 or BI Options Code which is not listed anywere.

So can we take it that we both have 240 or 250 ps???

Thumbs up

Never seen anyone say it's wrong yet.

Would also tie up exactly with the bits you've got in the engine bay.

car has no sti logos on it agree very unlikely that it is an sti

GC8B48D is listed down as wrx and wrx sti
EJ20G DW2HE only listed for sti engine
TY752VB3CA only listed for sti and 5 door wrx ours being a saloon

with car being wrx does it still produce 250 ps
