That's a MY99 UK turbo not an STi. Get it on a rolling road, 300bhp is suspect unless the turbo has been changed, its probably at best 270bhp, if it's had a decat n remap.

post some pics of the interior and we will confirm it for you. The topmount intercooler in the pic is either for the wrx or a uk2000, also sti engine normally have redtops where as your aint. I am not even that the classic sti was released from factory in the green?

Scoobs dont usually go sideways unless it's snowing, have DCCD or there's a lunatic behind the wheel practising scandanavian flicks

keen on green then.. saved the green polish.

Above before though on a more serious note, once confirmed what spec the car is make sure you inform the insurance co.... I dont think its an STI... Insurance void!

so you are already use to regular fuel runs then

if i was you i would get the car booked into a subaru specialist for a good service and a general check over to make sure all is ok. These cars can become costly if not looked after properly!

As said above definetley not an sti ,no badges on the wing,no sti intercooler or y pipe,and no sti strut brace.It looks like the turbo heat shields been removed,so maybe another turbo might be fitted.
