Thing is that these cars often made more than book figures,when new mind,so will tend to drop off over time.Get it on a road to know for sure.Going to get mine done soon,done loads of mods so be nice to see how their all holding together. Hoping for 330 really.

Think the OP stated it was a 'WRX Type RA'. Is that not a different car to the Sti Type RA...which would have 260 ish in 94?

Would have thought the WRX would be 240 ish as the second reply suggested.

The RA and WRX have he same power as standard,my RA was 260,same as the WRX. The bonus is that they have the cdb,and lighter weight,close ratio box,making them quicker,and also helps the way it handels.

If its between 10/93 - 08/94 then your running 240ps
If its between 09/94 – 08/95 then your running 260ps

Check your VIN plate [ under the bonnet ] and compare it here >>

Do you know the exact model of Impreza you have?
