Id say that its a good possibilty! That is a trade mark colour for the 555. Especially in the wagons:thumb:

Get the chassis number off the seller and do a check on it, the paint code should be 53c (555 blue) on the small metal plate, fixed to the top of the passenger side suspension.

WRX 5 door? Sorry fella :(

TX.

Edit - actually the model code doesn't really help as it could be WRX, WRX STi 2 or WRX STi 2 555 :lol1:

53 30 June 2011 12:34 AM

Sorry I meant option code :) 518 is the right trim code though but not definative :)

Whats the option code ? :)

ste drivs 30 June 2011 12:37 AM

You need 62/62C Option code for a 555, Option code 61/61C is your bogger STi.

Looks like a cracking motor anyway so good either way IMHO :)

ste drivs 30 June 2011 12:45 AM

62c thanks ste

53 30 June 2011 12:47 AM

Congrats, now get some better pics up :D Whats the mileage as it's not allowed to be in better nik than mine :p :D :lol1:

ste drivs 30 June 2011 12:54 AM

not as good as yours mate,but for what i paid for it it was a bargain,as it has an oil leek on top of the engine somewere and its dripping on the manifold,will get some pics tomorrow,when i find the leek,but dont think its that bad as just drove 220 miles home in it and it ran perfect and drove great,thanks ste mileage is 92k,buy the way what psi should it boost at standerd

53 30 June 2011 12:58 AM

0.8 bar which is 12 psi or there abouts IIRC :)

ste drivs 30 June 2011 01:00 AM

thanks,will get some sleep now so i can find that leek.:thumb:
