Default looking at a new scooby, advice needed please(engine code), try and find what this is

hi, i am thinking of getting another scooby, but i can not find the link to the page where it has all the different engine codes so that i can check what the stats etc are of it.

does anyone know the link at all??

thanks Ian

edit to say i have found this link

http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm#2.1

i know the car i am looking at is a import, but not from japan.

it is a 1999 version 5

this is the engine code from what the bloke sent me

gc8085097 or gf-gc8 if that makes any sence to anyone?

thanks again

Sounds more like a chassis number

I thought the engine number was like this:

82-PB-#####

its a my99 jap import wrx,
280bhp on jap fuel,
sti is 300bhp on jap fuel, so not far from it, it is a jap car that was exported to cyprus ,maybe when it was new.

cool, where my sti had red bits on the seats and sti stitched in, this one has got a sort of orange/dark yellow colour, also sun roof, air con and cruise control.

its in the rb5 colour, 39k miles, been in the uk from new, cat one alarm, tracker, full service history, ninja back box. body work is in mint condition.

what do you think it is worth?
