It is confusing sometimes. Lol
I found this site a big help; Which Car is a WRX STi
Check your vin plate and good luck my friend.

Early UK wagons (pre 97) ran 208bhp and a TD05 turbo (big) where as the JDM WRX wagon of similar years ran 220ps (approx 218bhp on super) and a smaller TD04 turbo like the later uk cars.
So virtually nothing in it except uk cars can run happily on 95 ron and jdm's can't.

And the gearbox ratios So the Wrx variants were faster accelerating.

thanx for that lads, i run my car on V-power STRICTLY since ive bought it, but ive always wondered what would happen except for slower performance if i put normal unleaded in....could i cause any major problems by putting normal unleaded into an imported WRX??

In a word, yes

It's basically to do with what the car is mapped for from Japan. They have higher rated fuel than us, I'm not sure on the specifics but if you do a search, you'll find all the tuners say the same thing

I would take that with a pinch of salt, my car tallies up exactly with 2 or 3 models.

Maybe I just got lucky as mine tallies up with only one and it seems to be accurate (96 WRX 260ps 5spd). It's so hard though sometimes to tell whether people (sites) are talking B.S or not
Thanks
