Its a wrx with a replacement clock and maybe a gearbox, STI RA's never came in silver, wasnt even an option (at that age they were normally white or red).

Yep was aware it was not an RA or STI RA but the DCCD threw me a bit. As Tony says, must be a clock replacement.
Someone has obviously gone to some effort though, it's also got IC waterspray.

That's what I think it is, nothing wrong with that just don't be giving it all the Billy bullsh!t I was going to stick a DCCD box in mine but it doesn't make it a lightweight RA
