If its a MY95 then it is 260PS. MY93 and MY94 were 240PS.

hi mate id say its 260 standard if its a my95, im running the polar performance chip along side few other small mods see my profile not had mine rolling roaded but estismate probably around 280 mark very happy with it, all i will say though is make sure your coil packs & spark plugs are upto scratch if uping the power cheers

Depends if its a saloon or wagon, wagons are 220ps and saloons are 260ps.

And to be on the safe side, you can only run these JDM wrx's on super unleaded! and i would hate to see how much your insurance was in wythenshaw

260PS then as standard (about 256bhp I believe). A gen PP chip should put you around the 280bhp mark, but I have heard of people achieving over 300bhp depending on the engine (its a uprated map and some respond better than others!!) Worth sticking it on the rollers to find out and to see fuelling/torque as well.

my insurance is 1680 fully comp through swinton - aplan put me in touch with them but i havent taken the insurance out yet as its currently off road until end of the month which is when my current insurance runs out, my curruent insurer wont touch me on it

id be happy with 280 tbh would an iduction kit make any differnce on one of these or just an uprated panel filter?

260 ps if it has purple and black seats, 240 ps if it has red and black seats.
either way, once you fit that chip you be looking at around 280

Painful insurance

A decent panel filter and exhaust will free about 15-20bhp, that should see you to 275-280bhp mark hopefully
Also try joining a local subaru group, you may get some insurance reductions through them

Id say 240ps mate, only cos of the seats, must be one of the last though as most 95 cars were the 260ps variety lol, nice car all the same.

dj219957

Seen the pics now. its a 240 ps version. very nice car, same as mine <<<<
my car is manufactured 93, registered in japan 94 and now its on a UK M plate! Just goes to show how some of the early versions can be on M or N reg.
