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?

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.

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!

& the quickest/ easiest way to tell a 555 from an RA Ltd (apart from vin code) is a 555 came with side skirts (an RA would have had to have had them fitted after) & the aerial is on the rear passenger side wing (like all STi's) ...the RA has it on the A pillar
Anyone with a standard V2 STi got the correct vin plate info?
