My99 WRX classics had 2 pots. A bit strange seeing they had a fair bit more power than a uk car. Even some jdm bugeyes came with 2 pots.

Where 4 pots an option on RAs? Like steel wheels and standard interior for Group N purposes.

Post a pic mate, not everyone is familiar with the appearance of an OEM 4 pot so you might be mistaken.

Easy to understand why they would be changed. Bought a car with 2 pots, fit the 4 pots, sell the other car with 2 pots. Or I have a mate with 2 pots he wants my 4 pots for a few notes and his 2 pots etc etc etc... The 2 pots are shockingly bad for a mini nevermind a scoob !
