Guys

Expecting MY95 5 door WRX in the next few weeks. It's in having it's SVA as we speak!

I was wondering what BHP figure I am going to be looking at for this car? I have heard that they are 280BHP but would like to confirm!

 

if it's just a normal WRX. then you'll be looking at about 236-240 BHP....

Only the STi and (modded ) motors have more - STi is 276BHP (officially)

240 is rather potent!!!

5 door was 220ps I believe for that year!

 

yep, 220 bhp for a 5 door on that MY.

 

are these figures for uk or jap car?

 

The JDM 5 doors had 220PS (not bhp as stated) which is around 217bhp (on 100 ron fuel).
It probably would have been better for you to get a UK car (if you can do without a/c and wing mirrors that fold in, but havnt seen any 5 doors at this age?).
The 4 doors in 95 had 260ps due to a larger turbo (TD05) compared to the TD04 on the 5 door wrx.

240ish BHP eh Tony?

LOL Dan
Wish it was 240bhp but i think they thought that as its a wagon its more family orientated and thus less power
Id say on a good day, 215bhp on uk sul fuel as standard, so not much higher than a uk car really (except the extras )

If the chassis number begins with this "GF8C58D" then the PS is 220 and its a WRX 5 door.
(taken from sidc, this is actually an MY96 5 door "GF8C58D 220 WRX 5 door").
