I couldn't resist...
Emailed him asking what the **** it is.
Not an STI type R that's for sure..
As sonic says, will be a rare 95 1.6 2dr car with turbo engine.

However, I fear your correct on the ID swap.

Regardless of the cars history, I'd never buy from a seller, especially a trader, who uses text speak! Call me a snob but i think it's poor form.
Not only that, the first paragraph of the advert gives the opinion that he wants shot of it, and will take any old tat in part exchange!!
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in a car that is essentially top-end money!!!!

£7k and no spec at all to back up that power?
makes me wonder what my 555 is worth with that genuine power and the spec and graphs to prove it
Who in their right mind would spend £7k on a car like that with no spec that looks like a shed? It may be a good car but who knows what is fitted and it is multi coloured and not only that it's on the wrong plate for a type R!
I never knew Subaru did a 1.5/1.6 2 door though so that's news to me

Been on here over 10 years and learned something new tonight! I thought 2 doors were limited to turbo models!
