GC8 refers to the classic shape impreza, GDA/GDB are the new age cars. You are correct your car is a GC8.

banny

 

Thanks for that fast reply mate! the reason I ask this is because i have a hole in my manifold and need to replace it but there is so much choice out there and they all use different jargons I'm new to the game and am very greatful of all the advice you gods give!!!!!!!

 

engine should be ej20k

 

Unless he's got a wagon, in which case it's a GF8.

 

So what MY is mine then if it was registered in 98? MY99?

 

my98 i believe

 

So up to now with all this jargon, I've established that I have a my98 with GC8 engine? My next question is, which manifold would you recomend I go for as I have a hole in the pipe that runs along the bottom near the front by the radiator??????

 

engine is ej20, chassis is gc8 (classic). Syms mani all the way!!!!!!!

 

If you are going aftermarket then i would recommend a gruppe s v2 manifold or you could get a standard ported manifold from harvey. If you car has minor mods then the second option is the one i would go for.

 

thanks for that! I've been looking at some magnex manifolds! got demon tweeks just round the corner to us so I've been dealing with them a fair bit!!!!

 

Some 'S' regs. are MY '99s - mine, for instance. I'm not sure which month the Model Year runs from.

 

I think its sept to sept, my sti is a MY97 but was made 96/10.

 

Who is Harvey?

 

Harvey Smith, if you use the search function you will find his details.

 

what price would I be looking at for the second option you suggested?

 

You are best speaking to Harvey he will break the cost down for you and he also offers a fitting service too.

 

I've just put a search in and I found a post that said he was off sick and not been on the boards for a while, any idea of his number? Thanks!!!

 

Have a look on his website it has his contact details

gc8 chassis and an ej20 engine it is a 2litre 4 cam 16v turbo

 

'GC8' is a Japanese chassis prefix and it relates to all 2 litre two door or four door saloons; both turbo-charged and normally-aspirated.

I was expecting this thread to be about me.....
