doesnt come up as an Sti on national car database i use for details when im ordering parts but it doesnt show moel at all so still could be one, to be honest its not that important really as this isnt a standard car it heavily modded for track etc with so many different extras and its stripped interior etc, engine specs are important as wrx doesnt have the forged internals that the sti comes with standard but i havnt fully read the ads so apolagies if i missed that on the add

very hard to say really. a car is worth what sumbody is willing to pay, to me i would say very little as its not what i look for in a car but for sumbody who like track cars sky's your limit really. people always try to recoup their spend in reality rarely does that happen mostly you get a bargain as they have had lots of money spent on them.

its a heavily modded wrx as it still has the wrx scoop. dependent on the mods done to it, it is worth around £4900, but that is if a few tasty mods have been done to it.
just read it is cat d, so its worth around £3000 and thats if the repair job was to a very good standard.

Looking at the link the pic shows what appears to be a WRX.
The headlamps are not STI headlamps and neither is the bumper.
The sideskirts appear to be the black plastic WRX ones.
Front brakes have been changed, but if the rears aren't brembo it's another indication that it's a WRX.
With the spec he's listed it's unlikely he'd have been racing 911 GT3's lol.

As 53 has already said, it's a WRX. The other way to tell is that the sixth character of the VIN number is an A (JF1GDA....). If it was an STi, it'd be a B (i.e. JF1GDB....).
