BBS alloys, interior and the suspension are correct for the STi . Otherwise they are mechanically identical to the 'normal' JDM S/tb.

The first generation Forester STI wasnt an 'STI' in the way that you might expect, it was warmed over but thats all. Whilst the suspension and such were altered the engines quoted output remained the same at 250PS.
