Prodrive was an option not a model...

basobomber

An option on a standard car?
When i am looking for parts for the car, i am not sure about sti wrx and all the others as to which one is mine, is there a place i could find out?

There is not enough information to let you know what car you have with just a manufacturing year & how many doors it has & that it's UK sourced with possibly a Prodrive tweak.

What you need to check is the VIN plate under the bonnet. Provided it has not been molested it will tell you what your car is.

The 7 digit "applied model" code found on the vehicle identification plate inside the engine bay is decoded in the following way.

1. Series code G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy etc.
2. Body type F=Wagon C=Sedan
3. Engine type 8=2.0L Turbo
4. Year code A=MY93 ~ B=MY94 ~ C=MY95&96 ~ D=MY97 (facelift) ~ E=MY98 ~ F=MY99 ~ G=MY00
5. Number of doors 2=2 door coupe ~ 4=4 door saloon ~ 5=5 door wagon/hatch
6. Model type 8=WRX ~ 7=RA Type ~ E=Sti ~ D=Sti Type R & RA
7. Transmission D=5 Speed Manual AWD ~ P=4 Speed Automatic AWD

Which Car is a WRX or STi? CLICK to find out

Am I an anorak or what?

Looks like a Turbo 2000 going by:


I'm basing that on the aerial not being electric, and a sticking out bit on yout passenger window seal.

have to agree the pic certainly looks as though it's a UK turbo with the prodrive goodies added.

basobomber

this is the code GC8FK8D
I was told and have the paperwork, that says it is a WR sport the option code is EM if that means anything?
And theres nothing wrong with being an anorak, could be worse we could collect stamps, or brass rubbings

When you click the link you'll see the way they did the chart it's a mix of UK Turbo / WRX Imports / STi Imports from 1993-2000. It shows the codes & years but not which models in which years.

As far as I was aware, the first UK WRX was on the Bugeye shape, all Claasic WRX's were imports.

I still think its a UK 2000.

Budgie

iTrader: (4)

not if its sonic blue me thinks

budgie

reddish blue then yes

FLAT ERIC

iTrader: (1)

Oops I meant WRX as opposed to STi.

The chart calls it UK Turbo but like you say it's a UK 2000.

Now I'm going to ask the "stupid question" LOL - can someone explain "reddish-blue" Cause I'm not able to think of how Blue is reddish - or indeed Red being blueish ........... Grey/black or pinky red but I'm not able to link reddy blue?????

FLAT ERIC

iTrader: (1)

It's blue with a tinge of red in it.

You need to see one then you would understand.

If it is a WR sport, it will have prodrive written on the logbook, and the seats will be fully electric with Recaro Prodrive written on them. If it is a WR sport, its a pretty rare car you have as not many were made(100).

basobomber

I have not got the log book back. but it has the electric dark grey/black recaros, with phneumatic lumber support, wr sport spoilers, prodrive brakes, standard prodrive blow off valve, shirt shift, carbon momo prodrive gear ****, momo air bag steering wheel and the rest of the paper work states it is a wr sport, which would lead me to my original question.
what car have i got? wr sport would be the same as which model?
