250 bhp as standard on jap fuel. That said, when I ran mine I had it remapped for 97ron and it was still around 250bhp. They appear to be quite rare - most JDM's are STi varients.

Well apart from the handbook/service manuals being in japanese (normally a givaway ) there will be more japanese writing in the car (sun visor etc), the speedo will have been converted, think they still come with 2 pots and not 4 pot brakes, wont have a proper fog light rear switch (would have a switch for them though).
Or you can check your chassis number

BEWARE, the 250bhp for the JDM WRX is to quoted using Japanese test correction factors (for temperature/air pressure etc), if you take the same physical results and apply the EU (DIN) or US (SAE) corrections you will end up at about 225bhp, strangely enough what the UK WRX makes!

You will of course be familar with the differences between JAE, SAE and DIN test standards (or did you not even know they existed?), not to mention the revisions to the SAE standards last year that saw many cars 'loose' about 10% on quoted power with Japanese manufacturers cars being hardest hit then blue angel?
