Does it have an automatic gearbox? if not, it's probably the WRX.

Don't know about the power - a few BHP? They need a new ECU and a re-map to make any significant gains, I think.

you'll find the engine stated here is a version 1 sti. Translated version of http://saisokuimpreza.fc2web.com/siryousitu.htm is useful if search with the engine code you will find the only ref. to it state it is defo a v1 sti and will be closed deck .the wrx sa was a entry level spec car that was then modified after prod the manuals were modified by sti the rest were given auto tranny and have 220 bhp still
