Tidgy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 GF8 is a wagon/estate that model code applies to various versions from what i can tell, but all wagons. Engine code applies to just a V2 555 sti saloon though. As said, any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I can't get decent wifi where I am atm so can't cross reference the model codes (which are the best way to tell if its a proppa sti) but looking at the pics it looks like a sti due to the following Silver tmic (rare to find a second hand one worth fitting ) Red inlet manifold (the oe ones always have flaky paint) "Tuned by sti" aux belt cover Of course all these bits can be fitted afterwards by a previous owners but it does also look like it has the tmic water spray bottle (bottom left in the bay pic) this is normally not fitted by anybody but subaru probably due to the wiring to the spray pump and switch inside beeing a bit of a pain to fit . If the rear inner and outer arches are clean and it doesn't knock when cold or smoke I'd say it was worth a punt Imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petec Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 to all of you thank you so so much :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 it looks in reasonable condition, if the engine sounds and pulls ok and the rear arches are ok, it's got to be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
