So reading around versions of STi Scooby's I've been trying to identify *exactly* which one I have.

It's a 51 plate bugeye, deffo an STi as It's got the red headers etc.
Says STI in pink on the back but it doesn't have (Type-UK) underneath, instead it says Subaru Technica International on a black badge

It's got a small wing!

However, doesn't have a rear wiper (so not JDM?)

Applied Model Code is GDBKEH and First part of the VIN is JF1GDBKH32G0...

Any ideas?

 

parellel import from cyprus or similar?

 

A 2002 sti, euro spec, have you checked to see what turbo is fitted and what does it say on the intercooler and v5?

Tony

 

V5 doesn't really say anything, Just Impreza

What would I be looking for on the intercooler? Or indeed turbo?

 

Anything that says type uk or the type of turbo. Also check the handbook/service book as that's a good indication of where the car is from and first registered.

Tony

 

Hmm, for various reasons the handbook isn't as useful as it might be on that score.

Can't see anything obvious in the engine bay...

 

There is normally the name of the supplying dealer in the handbook and can you enlarge the pics please?

 

You should be able to click on the pics to get a bigger view of them? Is that not working?

 

I thought the GDBKEH applied model number was for the UK Newage STi ?

PS Note sure the early UK STi's had "Type UK" on them, I'll have to check..........the STi badge looks like a scoobyparts jobby !

Edited to say the pics I have of early bugeye STi's have no Type UK badge. As Tony says, Warranty booklet should have the name of the supplier
