Mines a v3 they come with facelift bonnet / lights and preface bumper/dash ;-)

so the dash/ interior in my pic is preface

the facelift dash has a bulge above the center air vents , top glove box or air bag on the passenger side and it hasn't got that ridge running all the way from drivers side to passengers side near the windscreen like mine

Just the stereo and handbrake trims don't seem to fit

Confusing I know but most people class a facelift as a full change ( v4 i think had the dash but preface bumper)

V5 full Facelift had the lights , bonnet , different front bumper (smaller indicators) and different dash .

v3's were a half facelift just the lights and bonnet

I'll try to dig out a pic of a facelift dash ;-)

Looked up pic v5 dash is defo not same as what's in mine it's got phase2 engine like vin says but I was thinking because of when it was registered might be why it has early dash

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's strange

my 97 uk turbo is phase 1.5 and so are all the my 98 v4's I've seen /researched

As far as im aware phase 2 is v5 my 99 onwards

are you sure it's a my 96 ?

As there's sometimes a over lap in the versions pending on what time of year their registered but, not 2 yrs worth confusing lol

Any body else understand this

Just checked your code on the list on here and it says yours is a v2 ( mabey v3 pending on exactly when it was made) wrx .

which should have the phase 1fuel set up v1 /v2 inlet, snorkel turbo ,preface dash, interior , bonnet and lights as far as im aware.

Versions are the look of the car and spec .

phases are the fuel rail and injector set up

There any way vin could be wrong or has it happened before

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been puzzling me a bit lol

what makes you say it's got a phase 2 v5 loom and engine ?

As this is the only thing that doesn't add up unless it's had a loom change or has a later v5 4plug ecu fitted .

My97 has a facelift dash do you still want a pic ? It's a foz but identical interior,

If u have one fiqured out its a pre face dash in mine now

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah if it's the same as mine it's preface fella .

stanton that was only for wrxs I'm afraid

I bookmark random pages I stumble across while researching for my mods .

Not that I believe everything I read on the net , even that wrx info is a bit inaccurate as the really early wrxs and sti's had 380cc injectors as standard and I've never heard of 470cc injectors in a scoob ;-)

Did find a random ecu write up for classics that was interesting today lol
