Default newbie from essex

hi im mike from dagenham recently purchased a 1995 jdm wrx

specs:

xenon lights
boost gauge
front + rear strut brace
full haywood & scott decat stainless steel exhaust system
Td05 16g turbo
hks power-flow air filter
z4 ecu (with scoobyecu.co.uk + unknown chip)
Walbro 255lph uprated fuel pump
440cc injectors
baileys dump valve
aftermarket intercooler hoses
manual boost controller (1.1 bar)
turbo timer
ts light weight alloys
ebc red stuff brake pads
fmic
sti8 bonnet scoop
left + right induction vents scoops
jun front splitter


bit of confuion here... my car is blue... has the 1995 wrc bucket seats and looks to be a sti... comes up as sti prodrive on v5 but i suspect is only a wrx... research shows that vlimited was from 1996 but but this is possible very earlier 1st limited? has no plate identifier i.e. xx/200... ! feels fast but not that fast... im thinking because the z4 ecu is **** and it needs a proper remap ??? i wanna turn this thing into a proper beast..! got cash to splash aslong as the misses dont find out lol.. !

if it has a modded z4 ecu does this mean its a wrx ?

its got a aluminium bonnet but i have been told that early wrx's had this... and i/c water spray but i suspect this has been added on.

was told by the seller its one of the very first v limited models made but i think its bull**** tbh... very strange as to why it has the wrc 1995 seats tho... the spoiler has been added on and is not original as i can tell...

soon as i get the fmic on there i want to get 440cc injectors and was thinking about getting it remapped? was thinking simtec with anti-lag + launch control.. maybe by jolly green montser or anyone else local... ? any suggestions, comments welcome thanks

Welcome along mate, I'm not too classic savvy but looks to me like a v6 spoiler?

With that sort of mod list would defo be worth going Simtec or Alcatek I think its called now? To get the most out of it.

What turbo does it have on it? With a mod list like that, would it be worth having a bigger blower? Providing the engine is healthy of course.

Will look out for ya, I'm in hornchurch. If you see a random silver caddy beep and wave its probably me
