Hi mate welcome to S.O.C 

Sounds like you have a nice can and worth spending the cash on. I take it, it runs fine no noises. Best thing to do is share some pictures. We like pictures here :D 

And we can get a better idea I guess

Wotcha and welcome - If it is a WRX there should be a letter after GC8 of either A-G which would identify year and spec

 

can you post some photo's?

[Iktank]

Cheers bothe - I will get some pics next time I venture to the car and see if I can find an engine number, no engine number on log book.

Log book very sparse only states Chassis number as GC8-005934.

Car was an import and first registered in UK Aug 2000,

I know at one point it was worked on by the Subaru rally team

Ill get to the lock-up later this week and take some pics and have a look for the serial numbers. Hopefully be able to sort what I have from there.

Want to sort out what its worth before I spend money on it.

It runs which is a good sign,

brakes need servicing and I'll have to change the dump clutch if i'm going to run it on the road

All oils will require replacing so will be pestering you all for oil specs etc, I havent looked into the car at all yet so dont know squat  

Engine oil

diff oil

gear box oil
