ScoobyNoob79

This.

And also, how many shades of silver is going on on the passenger side?

reedy107

Short shift "gearbox" ?

Do u mean just a short shifter ? Got nothing to do with the gearbox.

Loving the way u are spelling impreza as well.

reedy107

Someone has robbed your Sti top spoiler and lights mate

I saw this for sale two - seemed cheap for the quoted figures and mods but a little too cheap.

Hope it works out for you bud.

Umm, are you sure that's an STI? Doesn't seem to have all the right parts.

Put up the applied model code (Under the bonnet above the passenger strut top.) and we can tell you exactly what model it is.

ultimatepr

ok just checked strut top,here are codes

model code - GF8C58D

engine type- EJ20GDW5PE

???

ScoobyNoob79

WRX with an STi engine fitted.

Not at all, the pre 96 WRX and STI share the same model codes(the RA got its own) because WRX's were taking from the production line and lightly sprinkled with some STI parts to become an STI.....It wasn't until Version 3 the model codes were model specific.

Hell there's so much knowledge out there you guys can't handle it all.

Welcome to the OP, don't worry this lot are friendly really they're just grumpy because it's nearly Christmas. The car you have there is becoming rarer as they are broken and is a possible minor future classic. Would be well worth looking after and enjoying - these motors are still rapid!

I like the look of your car. North East tuners... well unfortunately the giants that were Eclipse have closed down so I'd recommend Revolution they're the first name that comes to mind and they know their way round an engine bay. They offer a full inspection service that is pricey, aimed at imported cars or those lacking FSH.

I seriously hope that's a "tongue firmply planted in cheek" comment.

There's Alyn @ AS Performance as well as Revolution.

ultimatepr

Also depends on which td05 you have as to whether 380 is possible.
