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
this is for imports as the UK car seems to have a letter instead of a number at no.5 in the above list

That "year code" is wrong for UK/Euro/Aus cars too myblackwrx.
If it's a UK/EUDM car the fifth character will be K (UK) or L (Euro) and with these the date code starts at A=MY93 and increments one letter every year up to H for MY00, so on this basis an MY97 would be a GC(or GF)8E, while a '98 is GC8F.
