The test, you have to answer these following questions:

1. Will you want to purchase and fit Lexus lights?

2. Will you buy a 555 rally sticker kit?

3. Will you fit fake carbon fibre rally mudflaps?? (special one for a dig at Dunc :wink: )

4. Will you buy a life size Scooby doo and sit it in the back seats with a seat belt on??

Back to your question, I *think* (not 100%) that the V3 STI's upwards had 4 pots, but TBH if you want to track it then these will probably not be able to hack it, Sprints fine, but more than a few hot laps and they will be begging for a rest!

Mine was a v3 STi. I think the boot lid and rear seats are still original :D

They don't have a short box, not if you're thinking Type R short. 22 mph/1,000 rpm in 5th as opposed t0 19/20 mph for the Type R.

Yes 4 pots were standard fit and they're not that bad with the right pads. Mintex 1155s are good. I upgraded to Brembos and it wasn't a huge leap. (Unlike the next step, watch this space :grin: )
