Hi have recentley purchased a WRX 4dr which was sold to me as a FIA Ltd Edition which i know doesnt exist but i have check vin plate and reads as follows - GC8C48D. which on this site ( http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html ) says its WRX and on this one ( http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm ) says a V Ltd - its does have badging for VLtd on car so can someone verify for me please?


Many thanks

 

sorry web sites wrong way round lol

 

hi mate. i have checked on 5 websites for you and ur car is a WRX 4door

not a v limited if registered after 09/94 - 08/95

might be if its newer than 08/95 check log book. its strange but thats the only site that says it might be a v limited. the other 4 i checked v limited isnt mentioned.

 

Thanks for looking - its is newer was brought over last october and i have jus registered myself as first uk owner - car is a 96 on an N reg and has 0285/1000 on back on a sticker sayin V Ltd but cant see any other plaques?

 

its not a v limited just checked again. these dealers are very clever. if its a 96 its not a v limited.

 

thanks cos its insured as a wrx lol - how did you find that out tho? and how come has light weight body panels uprated suspension strut brace and 555 paint and gold alloys oh and a bigger exhaust? thanks for ur assistance

 

because there are lots of different variants of the 4door wrx and they are already the same blue,same wheels,same everything but a plaque has been added which would get the dealer around £1000 more than standard wrx. they wouldnt have lightweight panels anyway! only RA's did

 

my car definately has light weight panels because has few pin dents and had dent masters out and they have said they are ally panels?

 

I am pretty sure the Ra's ratios are closer hence it has a slightly lower top speed...

 

both the r's and Ra's have close ratio gearboxes. only top speed varies
