First Time WRX owner
 

Hey Guys,

I have finally found my dream car, it's a 1998 Subaru WRX, needs a little work, but otherwise in perfect condition.
It's completely stock standard so I want to get an exhaust tip because I want to hear that amazing Subbie rumble :)

How ever I am having trouble finding information about my car

The Build date is September 1998 the Licensed date in Australia is October 1998 and the model is GC8GK8D, which when I google search tells me the car is an MY99 and a special model in the UK?

From what I found the information is like this

G=impreza
C=sedan
8=2.0 litre 4WD
G=1999
K= ????? (don't know) -there is usually a door number here i.e 2, 4 or 5
8= WRX
D= 5 gear Manual Transmission -(5MT) (center deff 4WD) DOHC EGI turbo

the 'K' seems to be the missing part of the puzzle

What I also discovered is that the GC8GK8D is a UK classic code for an..

RB5 !!

This is not an RB5 :(

So, I am just really asking is if anyone here would know what my manufactures year would be? Also for insurance purposes and so that I can order correct parts for the car, as MY99 parts are everywhere and MY98 aren't.

Any information would help guys :) Cheers

Also.... any advise on an exhaust tip for the car would be greatly appreciated, just looking for the sound, not the performace

Thank you guys

Some Pics :cool:

Great looking car. Definitely looks like a 99.

Thanks, Kremer that's good to know :)

I start researching exhaust options for a MY99, but there's a lot on my list before I get to that :P
