Early UK turbo is 208bhp (different gearbox and rear diff though),0-60 times would be a bit lower but inconsequential imo.
UK cars were designed from the offset to run on 95 RON fuel whereas imports normally 97 RON min but tbh you're better off running a UK on SUL to get the best out of it.
The WRX should come with aircon,possibly folding wing mirrors,possibly ABS (there was quite an options list from what i've seen).
UK car i think may get ABS as standard,seats are better than the UK cars.

Before wanting more power learn how to drive it first as they understeer and the 2 pot brakes aren't particularly good.
If you want more power then you can go for a chip that fits in the spare slot of your ecu or a fully remappable solution,fmic,bigger injectors etc all depends on how you want and how much you're willing to spend

yeh i wouldnt be upgrading power before i got used to the awd and turbo (my last car was a high reving mk1 golf)

its got air con and folding mirrors not sure bout abs.

good way of making the car faster is better brakes from a later model (4 pots) or an alternative braking kit. Whilst not giving more power you will be surprised at the difference they make.

*matt*

do the 4pot brakes bolt straight onto the model im looking at? are the discs the same size?

4 pots bolt straight on but they are bigger discs 294mm compared to 277mm but it may be worth checking they aren't already on the car.
They are embossed with SUBARU.

*matt*

i prefer the smaller rear wing, dunno what model i mean.but its bout half the hight and more rounded.

matt

tath

you're on about an early sti wing as opposed to a late one.

The mid-height spoiler is off a V4.

WRX_Dazza

or a v2 import like mine

*matt*

is it possible to fit a smaller spoiler to the same mounting holes in the boot lid?
