I have bought a ringer...
 

Soo I have a 2004 plate JDM widetrack sti with the 5x114.3 hubs, apparently this is impossible so I'm guessing they got it wrong somewhere with the import documents.

could someone please tell me what year my car actually is?

vin number is GDB-029236

Much love

Are you able to look on the inside the alloy? Should say the pcd

Is it on a 54 plate?

Does it have the rear arch extentions?

It is definitely 5x114.3 as i have tried my other 5x114 wheels on it.

i know for a fact it is full widetrack as it has the new dash,dccd,hubs etc. just wondering how i can tell what year the car actually is from the vin number as it should not be on an 04 plate

Would imagine it will just be down to the DVLA being spot on at their jobs

You are in good company, here is a other two.:D

Yah thats the conclusion i came to :cry:

Here the code GDBE4EH 05 wide track .Look on the label of seat belt shows the year .Does it have the indentation in middle of intercooler shows it a 05 model as well

It says 2004 model year on the seat belt but also has the indentation in the middle of the intercooler at the top.

HMMMMMMMMM

What is the first registration date will be on inside top of v5 document above date it was registered in uk

i dont have that yet, still waiting for the v5 as ive only had the car a couple weeks

mines a 2004 widetrack JDM. Mine are 5x114.3 and im running 245/40/18 tyres. they normally come with 235/45/17 standard

JDM's are usually one year in front of UK models.:thumb:

when did they do the updated heater controls? mines a 54 with them but my mate swears blind it should be 05 onwards

someone may have changed them or it could just be a dealer pre registered one, I wouldn't worry about it.

Mines a 2003 but is a 52 plate

Why is it impossible, the widetrack was released in Japan in august 04.

My Spec C was a MY05 registered in Japan in Sep 2004, so was a 04 plate, nothing unusual about it mate.

well, sorry.....

Thanks for all the help guys, just a little confusing as you can imagine
