This has always confused the hell out of me so thanks for it!

[PeterUK300]

Well done Pete

[Phill-type-R]

Pete mate, according to :

http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html

site the WRX RA V-Limited, WRX R STi Version 6 Limited and the WRX R STi Version 6 are 300bhp as standard? Is that right mate?

[2002pete]

Hi Phil,

Thought all version 6 Impreza's had 278 hp except the 300 hp (Concept Electra one) though the actual production version the S201 had 294 hp as standard.

I could be wrong mate.

[Phill-type-R]

I've no idea really mate, I just got by what I read or what I get told.. Sometimes either way its wrong, but you can see where I'm quoting it from tho I dunno mate whether Subaru might be able to tell you?

[2002pete]

Update!

Added more applied engine codes to the list.

[Phill-type-R]

I just dont think there's enough there john!!

[Angelo_Pav]

Mine is a: JF1GC8KD3XG03xxxx

JF1 = Japan
GC8 = 2.0L Impreza saloon (Classic)

KD3 = ????? What's this then?
