The front bumper looks like a aftermarket kit, just seems different (longer) to the standard bumper on a hawkeye, just something not right about the front,, Am no expert on WRX's by any means

Front bumper is aftermarket along with the FMIC, think the bumper may be chargespeed

Plus it has the new front, but I guess that could be a mod.

05 Front

As it seems. (Damn slow laptop)

[QUOTE=Cypher;770437]How can you guys tell?

Must say my wrx knowledge is still quite limited and am still learning. What bits on the car should I look for to confirm?

That would mean 2.5L instead of 2L correct?[/QUOTE]


Check the build date which is on the C pillar down the bottom when you open
the front passenger door.

If it's Sept 05 onwards (Dec 05) it will be an 05 Build but MY06 Spec.

*Oh and yep if it's an MY06 it'll be the 2.5lt. :icon_thum

Muchhhhh nicer note and look rather than the milo tin on before :) very happy.

Did you end up checking the build date to see what MY it actually is?

Sorry slow reply.

Yes it's a October 2005 build - so MY05.

Hopefully getting tuned in the next few days at MMS. And going back to stock BOV. Will post Dyno when I have got it done

That oval muffler killed the drone of the cannon a bit, but it's still quite loud - too loud for my liking,
Not sure of an easy/cheap way to quieten it, resonator?

Stock BOV back on,,

Also found out today it had a TD06 turbo on it..and an ecutek tuned back in '10..
