Hi all so its been a while but im now back in a scooby (just for my winter car ) so ive forgotten alot and im just wanting to know if my 03 wrx is a uk or jdm model chassis no jf1gdakd33g031591 also any definite way of me telling if its a prodrive model ? Would it have a plaque ppp or do i have t look at suspension etc ? Many thanks

 

You need the applied model code to differentiate between a UK and JDM

 

Is that on my log book pal ?

 

On the plate on the strut top in the engine bay.

uk wrx

 

If it has a rear wiper its jdm and if not its a uk.

 

Cheers guys no wiper never knew that looks like its a uk then dont know how t feel about that how about if its a prodrive or if someones just added the sticker its not got a prodrive exhaust i know that what else would be a giveaway ?

 

Post a picture.

 

 

 

 

Its just a sticker.

 

Doh thought it might be whats the giveaways then ? Least i know where to start now

 

Yes thats just a sticker but that doesnt mean its not a prodrive. Does it have a prodrive pipe under the intercooler leading to the turbo?

 

Prodrive doesnt look any different to a standard wrx.

 

I didnt think it did to be honest thought the main things were exhaust and suspension not had the cooler of as yet will it say prodrive on the y pipe if it is i guess ?

 

The only thing a wrx ppp has extra is a remap, prodrive exhaust and the blue or sometimes red intercooler pipe. You should see it coming out of the bottom of the intercooler towards the turbo. Suspension was the same as standard.

 

Wrong. RA's do not have rear wipers and they are JDM.

 

Wrong again. The ECU was changed, the intercooler to turbo hose is blue, the Prodrive e haust, sticker and a certificate. All of which can be removed.

You need to speak to a dealer with your reg and/or chassis number to get the definative answer.

 

Thats what I said.

 

I think he would know if his car was an ra. I was talking about standard wrxs.

 

The ecu wasnt changed, it just had a ecutek map flashed onto it.

 

Cheers guys im thinking the obvious thing to do is look at the cooler piping im not holding much hope tho 😔
