Hmmm, bum lol.
Is there any sure fire way to tell!? where would this port be located? (where is the SSM port located) and can anyone recommend a good scanner & where to buy from?
Dont suppose there's any SSM to OBD-II type converters (sorry if thats a dumb question, im still new to this stuff!)

Same stuff
Hi, sorry for the futuristic bump, but have you had any information about this in the end? I will soon have this car, and want to know what I can do with it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Nope, you need an SSM protocol dongle for your ODB port.
I use an ODBkey Bluetooth dongle (around £100 mark) that can be reconfigured from ODB to SSM Subaru protocol using a laptop. Streams to my android tablet just perfectly. You can also get these with USB or wifi output. Great bits of kit.
Can be used with Torque Pro or BTSSM apps, possibly others too.

Actually, I'm more the "do it yourself" type, so I just want to know if it is OBD-II (through K-Line, I think CAN is too recent), OBD-I (or B35, as people may refer to it also), or something else. I just want to plug myself to the car for now, takling with it through SSM will be the next step
Thanks in advance!

Yep. It was Andrew Carr who pointed me towards BTSSM. It's a great app, much more professional that torque pro. BTSSM will allow you to data log all sensors and fields, save data and WOT power runs, log knock events etc. You can save the data to excel file to email and open on another version. Andrew was able to view my ECU data remotely to diagnose a problem using it. It'll also do dyno graphs, which I'd take with a pinch of salt.
