Fairly sure it doesn't.

My 98 car certainly doesn't.

Mind, nor did it have the STi engine, rear wash-wipe, folding mirrors, better seats, better suspension, decent brakes etc etc....but it cost £7000 MORE than a jdm car

I hope it does, I just bought one!...

if you have air con you normally have a pollen filter.
I don't have air con but I have managed to put a filter in to the same place as it would be if I had it.

But it is not a direct fit.

on the newage model its behind the glovebox and theres a flap you pull down and pull the old one and replace with the new one. I cant see the classic being different.

indeed just the same, but if you do not have one standard fitted.

this might help: http://www.subiegal.com/thecars/impr...abinfilter.htm

I didn't made it like that, but put it in the same opening as they showed just have to get the pipe with the blower resistor out and replace the filter there.

filled up the rest of the open space with some sterofoam.

went to local car parts shop today where my car is listed as having one. it slides up vertical next to the fan housing. i will try and sort pics out when i get chance.

only thing is the panel seemed loose, so wondering if theres two types available?? which im sure the car shop only listed one type or weather there is a cage etc.. for the panel to sit in to stop it moving around.

i undone two screws on a plastic trim and was met with a hollow void, slid the panel into there vertically. hope this helps others.

its a totally different setup to the bug eye models as i have looked at you tube vids previous.

unless anyone else can correct me on my pollen filter location/method, i am after all a diy mechanic/ car enthusiast

My 1998 doesn't have one, but you can fit one, there's a screw under the globe box and that opens flap, you can get them but I got quoted over double price for other impreza's as they don't have them as standard.

yeah thats what i eventually did. its not a tight fit quite loose in fact. but i got one in thats the main thing.
