none of the numbers you have posted tally up, sorry.
The applied model code shows up as a 92 ->93 car and definately a wrx, the engine code does indeed show an sti engine (250ps version1).
the version 1 sti was built by oiking a wrx off the production line and modifying it, I believe though that version 1 stis had a ltd. number run (200?) and carry an appropriate plaque, iirc API have number 001/200 in their possesion.
you quite possibly have a v1 sti which is 250ps over the wrx 240ps but would need to dig deeper as they should have embroided bucket seats etc etc

what does your car rev to??? the stis have a higher limit dont they

sti V1 heads are crap imho, so not sure about the rev limit, RA V1 have 7.5k

yeah the wrx should have the limiter set at 7k. Mind you if it has a wrx ecu then that doesnt really help matters. ahh well.
