Coolant temp sensor perhaps located in the block by cylinder number 3 (nearest the turbo) an orangey/brown sensor.

There are no 1993 sti`s. First ones arrived in 1994 as limited editions.

What about the ones modified from WRXs at the end of 93 (admittedly not a 'real STI' as we know it) or are they counted as 94 STIs?

All the version 1 sti`s have a limited edition plaque numbered 1 of 100 or 1 of 200 and manufacture date. Never seen one with a 93 on it. Only 94. They are classed as a MY94 car. Unless someone out there has one and can prove me wrong.

This may help

Based on the APPLIED MODEL number on you VIN plate you should be able to find out, your exact model type.

The 7 digit "applied model" code found on the vehicle identification plate inside the engine bay is decoded in the following way.
1.Series code G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy etc.
2.Body type F=Wagon C=Sedan
3.Engine type 8=2.0L Turbo
4.Year code A=MY93 B=MY94 C=MY95&96 D=MY97 (facelift) E=MY98 F=MY99 G=MY00
5.Number of doors 2=2 door coupe 4=4 door saloon 5=5 door wagon/hatch
6.Model type 8=WRX 7=RA type E=Sti D=Sti Type R & RA
7.Transmission D=5 Speed Manual AWD P=4 Speed Automatic AWD

If it has a red manifold then its either been painted or has had a sti one from a later car fitted. As version 1 sti`s never had the red manifold.

The applied model code wont help on a version 1 as the wrx and the sti have the same code. The first sti`s were modified wrx`s. But you should have sti seats, steering wheel, front strut brace and an alloy intercooler, not a black one.
