Are you sure it's a 93 sti as the first ones didn't come out till 1994
On the steering front, it's assisted steering so unless you have not driven a car with it before, it could feel strange.
Do you still get that tightness when you turn the wheel?
Have you checked the pas belt?

Thank you.

If it's got 18" wheels or larger fitted you can get the symptom you describe, changing the suspension geometry can rectify it to an extent, but i've never got on with any classic i've had with a wheel size over 17".

ok checked the belts and they look sound, and they seem tight enough too. Will replace the belt anyway this week and ensure it is tight enough. If it doesn't cure it, what else could it be? The fluid is looking fine and is full.
Also, it got worse yesterday. Happening more then occasionally now.

Check your tyre pressures for a start, 18s should be around 36 psi, check condition of tyre side walls.
Apart from the above it could be a few things, Strut top bearings, steer column knuckle (U/J), steer rack itself. Maybe even a track rod end gone stiff?
