The type R bit is easy.........if it only has 2 doors then it's a type R (based on the 2 door Retna bodyshell)..

Just off to SIDC site for Applied model code..

Have a look here

http://www.subaru-impreza.org/forum/...ine-codes.html

Are you sure its GC8G2ED & not GC8G2FD ?

If its two door its a Type R, The nearest to the number is a WRx Sti TypeR V6 V-Ltd

Is the applied model code ? GC8G27D

Is it a non-metallic dark blue colour? does it have a roof vent ?
