Classic wrx = import
Classic STI = import
Classic Turbo 2000 = UK
Newage wrx/sti = UK or import

turbo 2000 moniker no longer exists on the new imprezas.

hello

Forgive me for asking what may seem like an ignorant question but Ive just taken ownership of a 1993 wrx import. Is there anything on the vin plate that details the model type? I have a (hopeful) suspicion that it is actually an sti but dont know the difference! There is an STI badge near the trans tunnell and on the filler cap. These were maybe stuck on by the previous owner to 'chav' it up. I am hoping Ive actually got an STI for WRX money.

Thanks
