Hi,

I have only had my impreza for a week and have like all good owners been trawling through across the web dreaming of what I would buy if I won the lottery.

I see that there are certain differences in ages for a classics in regard to what will fit what.

I have a MY97 turbo. There are many vendors which state parts will fit classics <97 or >97 -00.

Is this just the models with slight cosmetic changes i.e. facelifts models or do they differ?

So mine being a R plate '97 what category does mine fall into?

Hopefully these newbie questions will cease, once I break it and have to fix it!

TIA
Ben

 

my99/00 are different slightly mate. spec changed a bit like colour coded mirrors, 4 pot brakes, cup holders etc

 

First major change to Impreza's was in late '96 .... yours should be a facelift car with better seats, smaller turbo, more torque, revised front grill etc.

Other changes were made in late '97/early '98 (revised interior, 16" alloys etc) and, as stated above, the next (and probably biggest) change was in late '98 when the car got a revised front bumper, STi4 rear spoiler, 4 pot brakes, more power and torque!!
