noticed that my wagon sti had short shift and close ration box like my old 555 when i first got it but when you check it up on (which car is a wrx or sti) catherineandken.co.uk it doesnt add up. i know the site isnt definitive but what is it then?? the gearbox and engine code on the box and vin plate says same as 555 saloon car.....not the same as their website...any ideas ? heres the vin plate...
i may be missing something....any ideas ??

here is the website....
Which Car is a WRX STi

 

eres another angle...did all 555 wagons have roof vents ? and were they all blue 53c ?? cos apart from this being a white wagon with no roof vent they seem to be the same.....any other ideas to what it can be ???

 

That model code comes up as a 1995 wrx wagon, a 1996 sti version 2 wagon or a sti version 2 555 wagon

 

The transmission code & engine type on your plate are from a V2 STi.
The 555 is basically a V2 STi in a different colour with a roof vent.
The 555 wagon did not have a roof vent.
They only made 100 555 wagons.

Cheers

 

engine code is different (only slightly so dont know the difference)

**this is from the catherineandken site...for the 555 sti special ed saloon car...like my last one...mine if ver 2 sti wagon , should have different engine code and gearbox/transmission code...and although engine code seems right for wagon sti ver 2...code should dw4ne at end and not dw5pe.... and gearbox shouldnt end 4AA either so why is that and what is the difference ????

 

The numbers you've quoted match my STI v2 555.

 

andyc, i know that..and if you look at my vin on my wagon...its the same ! apart from (gf) but 555 wagon is different from 555 saloon !!
