WRX STi '94 Grey Import
Question!
Bought my first scoobie and loving it as is my wife ........BUT!
Insurance is a problem, Mods, well not sure if this has been mentioned or noticed but need advice please help....
On this particular scoobie, there is a little badge riveted to the suspesion mount under the bonnet driver side..... it reads as follows:
'94 - 99/200 made by STi
WTF is this and as soon as i mentioned this to the insurance companies, they would not insure me as they wanted an explation about the badge and further more the underwritters said "dont know and tell him to sod off....we will not insure an special edition"
However, i have found a company willing to insure me for this scoobie and explained everything about the car and its mods......
But im sure someone will say "why say anything about it just insure it as a normal wrx sti impreza turbo '94"
The answer is simple - if im in an accident - fear! i want to be coverd and have valid insurance as apposed to invailed insurance because i was not specific about the grade of car and other minor details.....

thats right, mine is number 85 of 200 sti wagons built, the only difference being that the engine was apparantly handbuilt by subaru technica international, the tuning arm of subaru, and as stated they are just limited run wrx's with a bit more about them.

wow ok thats what i kinda said to the insurance companiy, there response was well we wount cover you without all specs of engine and that i have to find out what STi had done as this will not be standard....
why are insurance so dificult ask such dumb question about mods..... So if i said to them its a tuning thing, then im gonna get shafted sideways, cause im not gonna know exactly what they have done on the tuning front....
Im so glad there are some people out there with great knowledge, ha... maybe you should work for subaru and be paid high bucks for your knowledge seeing subaru service have no real idea what your talking about...
Thanks a million peeps your a star in a million.. great work thanks!!!

Not really as the market for early imprezas is quite low (an early wrx can go for £2000-£3000) sorry.
The thing with your car it isn't modded as it came out of the STI factory like that unless it has aftermarket mods done by someone else.
If insurance is a problem speak to Moley WRX in the insurance section on here,he's always willing to help.
