Please help me identify my scooby!!
 

Hello sorry for being a complete noob but iv'e recently aqquired my first scooby but really dont know what model it is, it has no badges and although I have stacks of paperwork none of this says what exact model it is. It's a classic on the K reg so version 1?? imported in 2000, it is turbo but not red top and the engine is closed deck but there isnt any intercooler spray. It has an alloy bonnet and bootlid with small spoiler but looks like it has had big spoiler at some point. The interior is red grey and black and it has both air-con and electric sunroof aswell as leccy windows all round. The guy I got it from said it was a WRX but it has had ra suspension fitted, not really sure what the difference is to be able to confirm this. Ive tried the vin number on several websites 'GC800440' but it doesnt seem to have enougth numbers?? My best bet is that it is a WRX RA but can any of you guys confirm this?

Thanks for the help

I don't think it would be an RA because it wouldn't have a sunroof and I think it would have water spray.
I would guess a v1 wrx or maybe an sti.
Hopefully someone will give more detail as I'm also a bit new to scooby's as well.
Do you have any pictures?

Sounds like an early wrx to me but I've never heard of an early classic with an electric sunroof, my 93 Legacy had an electric roof but I've not seen it on an Impreza.

Waste of time that site.

My car is listed as 3 different versions according to it. ;)

Sounds like an early wrx to me

i've got A/C and an electric sunroof on my 94 wrx too.

Mine is a wrx and has an alloy bonnet etc, they're common on the import wrx's iirc.

Yup early wrx, they had CDB's.

Sounds like early WRX to me.
Get some pics up of the car and interior buddy.

could be a wrx v limited but not sure on the sunroof

Also, what colour is it ??

I'm pretty sure all early RA's only came in white.

Won't be a V limited fella, V limited's didn't appear until 1995.

Heres a list of the available models between Nov1992 and Sep1994.

1993MY A SERIES,
WRX
WRX Type RA

1994MY B SERIES,
WRX
WRX Type RA
WRX STI Version
WRX Wagon
WRX Wagon automatic
WRX Wagon SA
WRX Wagon STI Version

My sister's 260ps had an alloy bonnet too, no sunroof though. Sunroofs must be rare on wrx's?

Yup, you have 1 digit missing from your vin no:

If you give me your Reg No: I will look up the correct Vin & input that into my import parts program which will then tell us which car you have.

learn something new everyday ay

Thanks for the help guys PeeVee the reg number is K432MGU I have put a couple of pics on my profile but unfortunately they are shoddy MMS ones. I will take some better pics this weekend.

Judging by the colour that's a wrx :) Looks like the same colour as my sister's (DBM)

I forgot to say the colour is Mica black apparently, has little sparkles in the right light?

Hi Mate,

Your vin no: is GC8004440

Unfortunately I have now finished work for the day and will not have access to the system until Monday.

If you still need help I will access it for you then.

Phil

The catherine and ken site is a bit flakey LOL

This one is better

You need the Applied model code and not the VIN number by the way.

Shaun

Not true actually... This is the benifit of having access to the official Subaru Japanese parts program, as it will tell me everything I need to know once the vin has been entered.

This data (amongst other things) will include month and year of build, paint colour code, trim code, engine code, transmission code, applied model code & spec of the vehicle. I.E Wrx/Sti/Ra/555 etc etc. It will also tell us weather the car left the factory with things like a sunroof or air con fitted. :thumb:

nice :D Learn something new every day :)

Shaun

Life would be boring if you didn't :D

Phil

I can see you getting loads of PM's about this. I may well also. ;)

PeeVee is now awaiting a deluge of PM's from SN members about their cars........maybe the mods ought to delete the thread :)

Shaun

Yea good point guys!!

I clearly wasn't thinking straight during my previous posts!! :Suspiciou It must have been the pub lunch that affected my judgement :lol1:

Seriously though, as long as things don't get out of hand, I am more than happy to share any info available from the parts programs, as well as any part numbers that you may need for your Scooby spares.

The jdm parts program will work for all imported subarus built before 2000

The uk version of the parts system I have will accept all european vins from 1992 up to the current models available. :thumb:

If you could buddy that would be excellent, thanks

My 93 wrx has electric sunroof,

Sunroof I belive was a extra when ordered new... my 95 wrx has 1 ..
