Help me identify my car
Bonjour,
I've searched here and google and just find so much conflicting information, perviously, never cared, just accepted my car was a Impreza, had a pink STi badge and is fast enough to get into trouble with the gendarmerie
But whilst bored I started looking at pictures, then tried to figure out exactly what model mine is. I believe it's the Version 2 STi but not 100% sure, can someone translate the VIN for me?
Model: GC8C4ED
Option: BJC
Trim: 528
Colour: 406
Engine: EJ20GDW5PE
Transmission: TY752VB4AA
Thanks,

The 7 digit "applied model" code found on the vehicle identification plate inside the engine bay is decoded in the following way.
1.Series code G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy etc.
2.Body type F=Wagon C=Sedan
3.Engine type 8=2.0L Turbo
4.Year code A=MY93 B=MY94 C=MY95&96 D=MY97 (facelift) E=MY98 F=MY99 G=MY00
5.Number of doors 2=2 door coupe 4=4 door saloon 5=5 door wagon/hatch
6.Model type 8=WRX 7=RA type E=Sti D=Sti Type R & RA
7.Transmission D=5 Speed Manual AWD P=4 Speed Automatic AWD
