Ok so I bought I wrx sti but I done a check on the the 2 different codes vin and applied and it came back on the latter as a wrx sti even though the cover was/is painted red I say was as its all flaking away.

He swore blind its a JDM red top , engine revs to 8k blah blah blah , I was not convinced so I payed him less have I got what I thought it was or is it a red top

Vin-GC8062535
Applied model - GC8E4ED

Also a ra supposed to have blue sti seats mine have red.

Code is for a STI not RA
The inlet manifold should be red fro that version STI

Any idea why the engine top is painted red?

WRX STI V4.

Sti got red manifold as standard.

Perhaps posting pictures of the seats/car would help

Dnt think its just a wrx as the numbers corespond to a sti, also all service history from subaru have it down as a sti on all the paperwork

Its a V4 STI with that model code. Should have grey seats with red inserts, nardi wheel, red stitching on the gear ****, silver intercooler etc etc etc.

The last E in the code corresponds to sti.

To dark for a pic at the minute but I must agree with my black as the applied model code and subaru service states sti but not ra

Scubadog86

Yep nardi wheel,grey seats etc
