New member owner.
 
Thanks Stu (Admin) for approving my registration.
I'm new on her and a new owner of a v3 Shi 555.
The car is rust free and all original but needs painted.
I'm sure I will have a lot of stupid questions along the way so please be gentle.

Welcome along. :thumb:
Pretty sure the 555 was v2.

RobsyUK 19 September 2018 05:45 AM

Welcome. Scoobynet has endless information.

Jimimpreza555 19 September 2018 08:00 PM

I don't know them that well but it has the early type bumper with the face lifted lights grill and bonnet with the roof vent and solid blue in colour. First registered in May 98 according to the v5
it has the v limited build badge on the boot. Was told it was v3.

Have a look on the NS suspension turret, there is normally a plate there with your applied code on,
Get that and post it up, from that it can be determined what you have exactly.

It reads GC8D4ED if that makes sense.

That applied code AFAIK also "applies" to the standard Version3 WRX STi - it all depends on the option codes listed

Lovely to see a 53c car (think thats right) without yellow stickers all over it. Looks very clean and original, congrats

Jimimpreza555 22 September 2018 02:22 PM

Thanks. Car is rust free and very original although with many years of storage it has too many dings and scrapes to avoid repainting it so that is my winter project.

Doc T 22 September 2018 05:30 PM

Welcome. Nice alloys!
