WRX STI V2 555 What does it mean ???
Hi. According to this website my car is V2 555. What those triple 5's mean ? What is the difference between mine 555 and normal V2 ?
http://www.subarujdm.com/jdm_impreza...i_gc8_gf8.html And this website says that my car is V2 STI 555 limited edition http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html My engine code: GC8C4ED BKC EJ20G DW5PE TY752VB4AA Which one is true then? |
If your car is the one in your avatar, it's just a V2 STi :)
555's are all 53c Paint code :) |
So What about these websites ? Not TRUE ? Is there any better place to check what model is my car by using engine code ?
|
Just like my avatar!, just a celebratery V2 STI, they were made to celebrate Subaru and Colin mcRae winning the drivers and manufacturers championship in 1995. 53c paint, roof vent and the option of rally livery!!:thumb:
|
Indeed not true, not everything on tinternet is true :)
Both those links have incorrect gearbox data for GF8's too :) |
Hmmm.... SHAME :-(

I had asked this same question a few months back but never got a true answer, it seems that it should say on the vin plate special edition which mine does not, but i have everything else bar the seats....?????
heres a pic of mine http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5257/...ccac922c5e.jpg heres the link to my post https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...w-to-tell.html and my vin details E-GC8 Vin: 037213 Applied Model: GC8C4ED Option code: BKC Trim code: 528 Engine Type: EJ20GDW5PE Colour code: 53C Transmission Type: TY75VB4AA |
Paulo P where did you get the mirrors from??? think i might need a set to complete the group 'A' look???
|
I placed a wanted advert on here :cool: I'm also going to get Revolution Milleniums, I was going to get ST2's but I think I prefer the Revolutions and they also clear Brembo's :)

Dave,
Apart from colour, my V2 has the same engine code as yours and both of those websites I stated above says that is WRX STI V2 555... It doesn't say on VIN plate "Limited Edition" or "555" so how can we find out for sure about our cars ?? |
Guys, as far as I know Colin McRae Edition is ONLY UK model and mine is JDM. I totally agree that McRae Edition was painted in Blue only and the fact is that is NOT Sti model.
|
The McRae Edition is a UK only car.
The V2 STi 555 was a JDM only car. Two totally different cars celebrating two different things. |
Another thing - McRae series is ONLY MY95 !!!
|
Trooper,
My engine code: GC8C4ED BKC EJ20G DW5PE TY752VB4AA It is 555 Edition or NOT ??? |
NOT :)
|
Thanks Trooper ! :-)
|
You're welcome :thumb:

Central Scotland! And it hasn't seen daylight in almost 18 months! It has an 18g and apexi power fc it's probably running 330 ish. Took it off the road at the end of 2009 and started removing the dash to fit a flocked one and then lost all interest in it! It will be back bigger and better next year!
|
Blew my gearbox last week, torque stripped lol :D

i like the idea of painting the FMIC black but have heard its not a good thing to do as it will reduce the efficiency and get stone chipped like crazy!!
|
Once moving it doesn't make much difference if any and it's easy enough to touch up the paint :)
