Heres the model spec
http://www.type-ra.com/subaru-imprez...pe-ra-limited/
Goes well and feels more than 280 bhp . Only used for a few 100km in uk guy imported it in 2006 never registered it untill 2011 been garaged 95% . Underneath it is like new needs sealing but so reluctant to spray black crap all over the mint body work/chassis .

Just remember that this car needs 100 ron fuel only, so that limits you to shell optimax and tesco v power, both freely available around where you live (well not free as you have to pay for it and they will get to know you but thats one of the joys of subaru ownership )
Tony
PS, power output is actually 276bhp/280ps and the brakes will suck bad on the wrx

You will be best off replacing the 2 pot front brake calipers and maybe going for 17 inch wheels (unless you are on a budget then the suabru 4 pots, decent pads and discs) are a cheaper option.
Like I said, fuel is 100 ron so go by that recommendation if you like your engine 95 ron will just kill it
Ensure it has a cat 1 alarm as these came with nothing from Japan.

I'm surprised that it only came with 2 pots up front, was it just the UK that put 4 pots on the turbos after 99 and just STI's in Japan with them? Learn something new every day.
Looks a very nice clean car
