The first STi's were indeed WRX's taken off the production line and altered........the applied model code will therefore show it as a WRX AFAIK.

There should be an STi sticker under the saying it was made by STi

The STi was launched early 1994 and they took a WRX from the production line and blueprinted the engine, added bits and modified the ECU to make circa 250 BHP

It should have a build number and date on the off side suspension turret, a sticker on the fanbelt cover saying "handcrafted by STi" (I think those are the words), silver slanty intercooler, silver front strut brace with pink ends, an STi rear spoiler , a pink badge..........and be in red black or silver

1st ever STi:-



Think those alloys were a factory option though. But it did have the exclusive-to-the-first-STi high 'hooped' rear wing (NO other STi MY had that style of wing as std.)

Outwardly, aside form the wing; pink 'i' grille badge; pink 'STi' sticker on bumper; (and alloys if fitted), it looks the same as the contemporary WRX.
