There are a few variants of 'official' UK spec 01/02 'bug eye's, IIRC 215HP for the WRX, 245HP for a WRX with PPP (Prodrive performance pack, although 01 cars that were PPP'd later could be 265HP), 261HP for the WRX STi and 300HP (ish) for the WRX STi with PPP.

Anything else you see quoted is either modded, or a Japanese grey import which are different (or of course wrongly quoted by the owner )

The 225HP WRX started with the later 'blob eye' WRX.

Hope that helps.

Brembo brakes and I think inverted struts on the STi as well
