If you want to be sure...check this link Subaru Impreza FAQ

you can ref your chassis number etc...

Cheers for that, but it only gives that for import not uk models, im stuck as i dont wanna start buying bits if they wont fit

hi mate, I'm not a scooby expert, but I would make note of the VIN number and then call someone like Roger Clark Engineering....they will tell you exactly what she is......they are a good bunch and open Saturdays...

Cheers for that, looks like ill have to do some ringing around or maybe pop over to subaru to ask, couple of years either side and id have no problem, just on a damn year change so no idea

Its a GC8 or a facelift classic if thats what you mean?

scoobyboy691

so it is a classic facelift you reckon? i know bonnet is diff but wasnt sure as its my 1st scooby and didnt wanna end up buying bits i couldnt use, yeah chassis says GC8, dunno if this makes a difference but mu dump valve is on the right hand side of intercooler or passenger side however you wanna look at it

OH OK. I'm still fairly new to scoobs myself. I think the facelift may have come out later than a P reg, but plenty of people fit the facelift front to an older classic.
Do you mean you want know if its a WRX or not?
Those un-colour coded mirrors mean something, can't remember what though.

Im new to it too, all i know is that they revised it between 96-98 and from 98-2000 was the proper facelifted classic, i just wanted to know if mine fell into the revised bit, i think ill pop down to subaru tom

if it's not got 4 pots then it's a MY96/7 if it has the top box in the dash, non slanty intercooler, and one coil pack on top of the engine then I belive it will be an MY97.. IIRC

What colour dials? And what size wheels?

MY '97on, got white dials and 16" wheels, iirc, but still had 2-pot brakes. 4-pots came in in 99, as did different wheels, a different bumper, and a larger spoiler.

I'd put money on yours being an early 97

I got grey dials, 16 inch wheels, coil pack on top of engine, non slanted intercooler with recirc valve on right hand side of cooler. As for mods what year do i go for? up to 96 or 97 on?
