There has been a bit of confusion over the fact that the impreza im getting is a T reg but has the older front end. Here is the vin code so could someone help me clear up what MY it is etc.

JF1GC8KDJWG028896

Thanks for any help.

 

need the gc8 code mate

 

where is that?

 

Plate near the front passenger side suspension leg.

It's in the middle of the code you posted

JF1 = fuji heavy industries
GC8 = impreza saloon

ETA: Oops got the codes mixed up
W means 1998 model year (MY98)

 

Thats odd as its for sale as a 99reg UK Turbo 2000

 

GC8FK8D there you go

 

OK GC8F = MY99 from the chassis code

But MY98 from the VIN code?

And a MY98 front end...

(Scratches head)

Not sure how reliable the VIN code dating is though. I don't know if it is Jan-Dec as opposed to chassis code Sept-Aug.

 

hmmmm, so why would it have the early front end/interior items?

 

Also says its a WRX and not a UK turbo 2000?

 

Yet this site says its a MY98 so now im confused!LOL

u should look at this site
http://www.autobaza.pl

it gives some info u might like to check further !!!!!

 

In the model code it says its a WRX. Did the uk turbo have its own code of did they all get the WRX code?

 

Its a UK turbo.
Produced between September 98 and August 99.

 

Are you sure? I just got confusd when it worked out as a WRX of the GC8 no.

 

its either a 98 or a 99 with a 98 front end fitted, this could be due to crash damage or the owner simply preferred it.
the bumper/lighrs are a simple swap.
i wouldnt worry too much as you have swapped already so its a bit late now.

 

Its not to late to back out. We dont do the swap till monday

 

Is it only the bumper you swap or is it lights and bonnet as well for the facelift?

 

It's a UK car.

What dash has it got ?
