I didn't think that the sti came in that colour. Could be wrong though.

One thing to question the dealer about and something that would put me off though, is why the price in the window is less than that price in the advert.

I'm not that good with Classics but I think it looks it.. from the red stitching on the gearknob,the STi stearing wheel ,the red edged seats and STi rear lights... only way to be 100% sure is get the VIN number, there's a website that someone has reference to on here that will tell u .. or at least ask for a photo of the engine from the seller.. I believe it should be a "redtop"

Nothing to do with car matey ..There's a problem some people are having with Scoobynet, including me, with their web-browser or something ,that makes it post up twice what I put up.
Anyway .. Good luck with the car

Here's the site, it's old but of use. Being a wagon it's not as powerful as a Saloon and being a V3 it's RCU is not as easy to get more power from.

As I've found out any mods that you make where you need a remap will involve replacing the ECU. So count out decat dp and front mount mods for starters.

Looks to have all the right bits to be a V3 STi Wagon and colour is right (should have gold wheels) for a V-Limited. Will still be 276bhp, same as the saloon as V3 onwards there was no difference between the bodyshells. If you've got the codes you shouldn't go wrong. Hope its a good 'un.

I'll eat my hat now. The V-Ltd STi Wagons are quoted as 280PS, sorry for the mis-information.
