Hi all. I am a little confused as to which version impreza i own. It is registered in 1997 but as far as i am aware it is a 98my version 4( thats what i have been told). The chassis code starts GC8E and the engine code is EJ20k. Any help would be appreciated and would make ordering parts much easier.
Thanks. Brian

 

As an example the MY99 was made from Sept 98 to Aug 99.

So you have an early V4.

 

Is it an sti?Check what turbo it has if it a VF23 its a version 3 , VF24 and it a version 4

 

It's not a good indication as they can be swapped. The Chassis number and model code are the best pointers.

Not the best guide but it will answer your questions.

 

V3/V4 dash are different, V4 has a facelift dash same as V5/V6 dash, it can be changed as well but its a pain to do so not many people do it.

 

It has the facelft dash and headlights but the earlier front bumper. It is a jdm wrx.

 

V4 then.

nothing stopping people changing the bumpers though, get some pics up

 

V4 has the earlia front bumper as well, bumpers were only changed on V5/V6. Sounds like you have a V4 mate, as above get get some pictures up

 

V4 Bri, finally bit the bullet

 

Yep finally. Its a decent one i think too. It did 281bhp at scoobyclinic last monday and they gave it a clean bill of health. Hows yours going pal?

 

Cool, you'll have to pop in a show us it. It must go a bit too! how's the job going?

Yeah mines good thanks, still collecting bits for it, just need a fmic and poss an slip jointed up pipe.

 

I will call in tomoro. I asume you still work saturdays. The jobs great. Different place everyday and the van is the reason i have got the wrx.

You will have to take me out in yours. Mine feels rapid so i cant imagine what yours is like.

 

Click on the link below my name and there are a couple of pics on there.

Thanks to everyone for their replies.

 

Yeah I'm in as usual lol.

 

It wont have a version then, only STI's from 1994 original (even they didnt have a version, versions started with the 1996 car), 1996 (v2), 1997(v3), 1998(v4), 1999(v5) & 2000(v6) models.

A wrx will just have a model year, so yours looks to be an MY98 WRX.
