Friendly reminder:

GC8 = JDM EJ20T Impreza (93-01)
GM6 = USDM 2.5RS (?-01)
GF8 = same as GC8, but a wagon
GF6? = USDM Impreza wagon (?-01)
GD_ = USDM 02+ EJ20T

If anyone else can correct or elaborate, please do... I'd like to get these straight for once ...Or just flame me for being nit-picky

 

Close.
The G means impreza.

The C means old style sedan.
The M means old style coupe.
The F means old style wagon.
The D means new style sedan.
The G means new style wagon.

The 8 means old style EJ20T.
The A means new style EJ20T.
The B means new style EJ25T.
The 6 means 2.5 RS.
The 4 means 2.2.
The 2 means 1.8.

So he has a GM6. And my car is a GD6. And the WRX is a GDA. And the STi is a GDB. And etc.

 

Just a friendly reminder, to prevent injuries to fellow i-clubbers, you might want to disconnect the battery when doing anything with the airbag . . .

 

but it's implied whenever "gc8" is said, they mean a 98-01 rs body style

 

Who is they? So by your definition, a real GC8 isn't a 'GC8'? Not trying to start a war here, just making sure people are informed...

I guess you can use the term as you like, but the only way I see to avoid confusion (as people have different definitions) would be to just use the right terms in the first place. [BTW, thanks for the clarification crashmaxx]. GC8-specific parts might fit your car, but that doesn't make it a GC8

...looks like your project is coming along nicely, what next on your mod list?

 

Chaste auto makes carbon fiber door panels. and trunk panel covers for when you take the rear seats out Check them out they're the trickest thing Ive seen come out of a US tuner. chasteauto.com. Itll propbly be a cheaper less blingy option than re-upholstering

 

oh, don't get me wrong.. i never said my car was a gc8.. i just said my car shows my gc8 appreciation..hence the "gc8 looooooovvvvveee"

thanks for the headups on the carbonfiber stuff.. i definitely look into it!

 

picked up some more goodies for the car this week. motor swap in exactly 2 weeks... boy am i excited






also have the factory sub for sale.. make some offers:



comes complete w/ harness and mounting bracket

 

might as well throw in one more pic

 

You should always use the factory lugnuts with stock wheels and aftermarket lugnuts for aftermarket wheels. They have different chamfer angles.

 

got my car back from LIC

new heart for the car (completely stock for now).. also put in a turbo timers for kicks. hopefully next paycheck or something i can afford to get an exhaust. most likely will be a cobb catback (maybe even turboback?) or something along the lines of that

haven't had a chance to get really great pics, but these do some of the stuff justice.. also got new brakes wrx front, h6 rears












still a long road to go!! also seeking a 99-01 front bumper if anyone has one for sale.. let me knowwwwww

 

Gawd damn that car is sweet!

 

and some older pics for your viewing pleasure

 

I concede- you have the best RS EVAR.
