Lift the passenger carpet then the 3 /more I think 10mm nuts and look on the top of ecu for ae800 ,ae801 ,ae802 these are the uk impreza 99/00 ecu that can be mapped using ECUTEK software
The applied model code will tell you all you need to know. NOT the VIN code. It will be 7 figures and is on a plate on the top of the near side strut top.

Yeah totally the wrong colour. It's got a few prodrive stickers on it and on the seats. Which I thought someone has stuck on. When I first bought it I felt it had a bit more power than 218bhp. Previously had mr2 turbo which felt simailair when it was 240bhp.
As Dipsy posted earlier, if you lift the passenger side carpet there's a metal cover. Take that off and the ecu is under it. There will be a code on it in large figures. That will tell you exactly what ecu is on it.
You never know it could have a Prodrive ecu to go with the stickers and seats.

Thanks both. Yeah mine is the same as that. Pleased as I can get an ecutec map now.
Malta - could be, but more likely a Dutch/Belgian import. Several Scoobynet members imported their cars (me included!) 1999/2000.
Anyone else remember the 'ImportingImprezas' group on Yahoo Groups??

Oh really? Interesting. The car came from n. Ireland don't know if that makes any difference? It was first registered in the uk 1999 though. I believe the original owner worked for subaru, he maybe got first dibs. It's obviously sat in a garage a lot over its life. Not a spot of rust and averaged 3000 miles a year.
