Default What Have I Got???

Anyone give me some advice on my vehicle as Im pretty new to these scoobie things.

Just got a 95 import wagon fresh from Japan.

In excellent condition and very pleased with it but not really sure as to its exact model!

Am told that it is completely standard but does seem very stiff on the suspension. It has a low fairing and an "i" badge on the front.

Applied Model GF8C58D
Engine Type EJ20GDW4NE

help please?

p.s seems to go OK

That model number could mean its either a 220 ps wrx wagon. But if it has the i badge on the front it could be an sti v2 wagon which has 260ps. I couldnt say for certain its an sti as someone might of just put the badge on

Dont all STi's have the red-top engine? Have a lOOk in the engine bay. Red inlet manifold or something. Someone else can clarify this.

The early sti's dont have a red top engine. They started the red tops from the v4's
