Nope definately a UK car V2 STI type RA's dont have airbags, dont have ABS, dont have washer jets, speedo is on the left, rev counter the right (opposite to a UK car), normally have a DCCD and intercooler water spray, have a silver STI intercooler (did I mention the roof vent?).
UK car

PS, this is a v2 sti type RA, they normally come in white though the odd blue one is known to exist in limited form, about the only 2 colours they came in.

Probably not the correct site your looking at, you need the model applied code for the car tbh for an exact match, but that definately is a uk car by the looks.

Trust me when I say its a UK car, you can look through this official subaru brochure for the 1996 JDM model car.

You can see the chassis number at the back of the engine on the drivers side normally, near the top of the engine bay on the bulkhead, worth checking.

Atleast its been tuned to 285bhp which is a plus just need those front brakes upgrading, most go for the subaru 4 pots as they are a cheap(ish) option.

Tony

lamby2k12

well am gonna get my fmic on and get a new ecu as they dont do bltz no more. and i have been looking at the 4 pots but i do like the new age rembos

TonyBurns

iTrader: (3)

You will need to change the wheels for the brembo's as those wont have enough clearence for the calipers so the 4 pots work out cheaper with discs and decent pads (plus braided hoses etc), or speak with Ian Godney at www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk as he does some nice kits

lamby2k12

cheers tony.. dosnt bother me about the wheels as atm am trying to find a new set even if i can only get 17" all be happy as i did a stupid mistake lmao
