hey- i just bought a front clip, and wanted to decode my vin number

on the top we've got

E-GC8

VIN: GC8-018688
applied model: GC8B48D
option code: BJ
trim code: 420
engine type: EJ20GDW2HE
color code: 406 (silver of sorts)
transmission type: TY752VB3CA

i dont know what year it is for sure, im guessing a 93?

im guessing its a 4.11 transmission? can anyone tell me about the trans, im guessing it sa 4.11 that uses a 4.11 rear diff

any advice would be appreciated

hey- i checked out :
http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html
and according to my transmission code, i have a 94 STI first version.

the car came with the aluminum control arms, stock

if it is a STI, does the engine contain forged pistons?

heres a picture of the clip:

Aluminum control arms came on many non-STi WRX's.
