I woz wandering if anyone can help me.i was sold my 2002 wrx as a u.k car by a wel known garage and have recently found out its imported from cyprus before cyprus joined the eu.
so does that make it jdm spec?
euro car?
u.k car?
Ther isnt anything obvoius that sets it apart from a u.k car,it has a factory fitted alarm,underseal,u.k clocks,locking nuts,no rear wiper etc etc,how can i tell its doing my head in,somebody must know please help.

 

The lack of a rear wash / wipe puts it into a euro model and not JDM.

The Euro models and UK models were for all purposes mechanically identical

PS where is the aerial mast? door pillar or rear screed demister?

 

The Aerial mast was on door pillers on 01 models and on rear screen on 02 models.

If its from Cyprus it would be a EU car, as shuan said they were identical and would have came with a certificate of conformation on import to UK.

JDM would be rear wash wipe, do you use the Subaru Key to disable alarm or do you have a extra fob????, usually EU cars get a extra fob as the standard car (eu) only has a immobiliser fitted. although i beleive Subaru UK done this to early cars as well.

When the cars came to the Uk the only difference to the UK cars were:

1. No mats(uk dealers usually threw them in)
2. No wheel locking nuts
3. No Cat 1 alarm
4. No underseal

uk were identical apart from above.

Cheers mate,big help.
So it would be running same power as the u.k cars?
Are the garage/supermarket allowed by law to wrongfully sell a car like that?cuz i always thort it had to say on the invoice that it woz a import?

 

What does it say when you insure the car? Usually the uks are cheaper to insure but not 100% on the 2001's onwards
