Applied Model Code
#1
I know the 'Model Code' is on the VIN plate and is made up of 7 digits but can someone please tell me why the 5th digit which is for the number of doors 2,4,5, on mine is a K. . . and what does it stand for.? ? ?

The 7 digit "applied model" code found on the vehicle identification plate inside the engine bay is decoded in the following way.
Series code G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy etc.
Body type F=Wagon C=Sedan
Engine type 8=2.0L Turbo
Year code A=MY93 B=MY94 C=MY95&96 D=MY97 (facelift) E=MY98 F=MY99 G=MY00
Number of doors 2=2 door coupe 4=4 door saloon 5=5 door wagon/hatch
Model type 8=WRX 7=RA type E=Sti D=Sti Type R & RA
Transmission D=5 Speed Manual AWD P=4 Speed Automatic AWD
Thats the list from the SIDC FAQ.

same here !
it ends E8KD .. which means MY98 (Eh ! see later), 2.0l k= ?? 5 speed
My car has 3 lined front bumper, so I though it was an MY97 as it was registered in 97. but according to this it's an MY98 !
I though all of the MY98's were the newer dash (with silly glove box in the middle) type cars ??
Or is this Subaru's funny way of numbering things!?!?
(I'd looked this all up b4, but some how I totally missed it!! DOH)
