Imported imprezas are often imported as non turbos so yes if you have one of them..... With the 94 in your name, are you not 17... Just guessing that relates to your year of birth. If I was you, go gain some experience before trying to insure that car. I'm 24 with no points, clean licence, 4 yes ncb and 7 years driving and I can barely get insured reasonably... Unless you have rich parents or one high paid job, good luck with the insurance or go get a car more suited to your age.

Are you saying you've now insured it as a gl?

How ever you wrap it up, you're committing insurance fraud. I personally hope you crash the car and have to have your little soldier amputated.

Come on guys, give the lad some slack and read the entire thread before commenting... He has already said sorry for typing and posting without thinking and put that his current car is a WRX and insured as one..
He has been offered a Turbo 2k with mods and is a Replica of an STi V6.

He has realised the error in his question and how about not flaming him without know all the facts

Personally with a post like that and the blantant naivity (or stupidity hense the 'retarded' question), I'd not be suprised if he's still insured it as a 1.6LX or something and is simply keeping quiet.

Just 'cos he says he's going to or has done something mean **** to be honest

Its just that the dodgy importer registered it wrong lots do it, you can amend your v5c to say STI and send it back to dvla and it will come back as an STI
