Import

There were no UK Classic WRX's or STi's

The only UK classic was the Turbo 2000 AWD (ignoring special editions)

ok, its just wierd because i searched the model gc8e4ed on google and it took me too a site with all the diff model codes and this code was not under the japan section, it was under the uk section???

hmmmmm so what power should this be running standard?

Not the best site to look on, best to use the SIDC site.

Back to your original question........yep it's a Jap import

I have a import v4 sti and the above post describes my car pretty well, also the drivers side sun visor has japanese on it, so does various stickers in the engine bay

plus, the stereo is double din, above which their is air con dials,

I think I am right in saying it wont have the bright switch on the centre console either as this was on the UK turbos only
