Would it be a Catalunya if its one of 200 made in black ? ( sort of metallic black with red flecks in it ) are the dial faces on the dashboard carbon ? think they also had red and black seats in them.

No; its an STI..... The first STIs, built in 1994, were 'altered production' cars, produced in limited numbers. The 'STI 2' was the first full production STI.
