savage bulldogs Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi n welcome to soc , nice looking wagon[emoji41] Has it got brembos all round and a 6 speed box? As they're standard equipment on a newage sti . Although the only real way to know if it's a genuine sti is by checking the "model code" on the silver I.D plaque [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRAC Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 @savage bulldogs What these ones and no Brembos or 6 speed all standard was an ex fleet car so they wouldn't have wanted all the extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah give the gggf8kd number a google to find out what it was when it left the factory. Log books don't always have the right info ,as a mate of mine had sport on the log book of his jdm wrx import Afaik The brembos and 6 speed are standard equipment on bug onwards sti's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last estate sti was a bug, and that was watered down with no brembos etc, blob, hawk, hatch and the new saloon only came in sti in the saloon/hatch variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Didn't know they stopped making them tbh but I did know the dvla get it wrong sometimes lol . I tried the usual sites to find your "applied model code " and I can't seem to find it . If you search a bit longer it might crop up somewhere on the net . If it's got leather seats it might be a "se" (I think that's what there called ) which is a wrx with different trim . Try to find out if it's a mistake by the dvla as if it's a wrx it will affect value and might lower insurance costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 yeah the last were 2001, but for some reason they toned them down. I can tell you 100% its not an STI so you wont ever find an applied model code, will come back as a wrx. Won't be an SE either cos no sunroof (unless you cant see it in the pic, its only from side on), SE was added sunroof and leather seats, was the only difference. It's also a uk or euro import car, can tell cos of the vin code, jap vin codes are just 3 digits and 6 numbers, not the full 16 digit eurocode ones There was a guy claiming he had a 22b a while back, a 4 door one :S lol turned out it was just registered wrong with the DVLA.. just for example, Euro vs japanese 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
