evening guys,
wondering if my Type R is a 555 ltd? i have the 555 seats and correct door cards (it seems) is there anything more i can look at to find out more ? and in what ways it was different? oh its a V3 in white. its chassis is GC8D2DD. looking at this chart the engine 300, i thought all the imports were 280.

I believe Subaru made 555 of your car in total to celebrate a rally title, other than the seats and the badge on the back Im pretty sure it is identical to any other V3 type R.

been looking into this for a few days now myself. it does have the correct badge on the boot also.
you reckon i can give it a new title - WRX STI 555 Type R ?

it really only matters if this is a rare model you see. in the chart i posted up, i wasnt the one who put the ????? next to the 555 V3 type r. so seems someone has came across the model before ! i never knew it existed myself. think it came off scoobypedia.

you say all early V3 had 555 seats and badges, our friend there knows of several that dont. have their badges simply been removed? or was indeed there a limited run on that model year ? or are those cars without the badge slightly later cars?

The MY97 Type R was built to order from Jan 1997, so I cannot help with numbers manufactured.
They all had the boot roundel celebrating the 1996 manufacturers championship victory & 555 seats.

I'm currently in the process of scanning all my brochures & will be uploading them on the RA site once I've finished. This should hopefully help clear some of the confusion.

Don't hold your breath - it will take a while!
thanks for your help on that. im on the r-ra owners. couldnt get a definitive. arent the ecu different on those model years? as a remap might be on the horizon. is there any other way to tell the exact model year?
cheers

The STI V3 type R was built from September 1996 until August 1997.
The cars built in 96 are no different to cars built in 97, they are all MY-D series cars.
Your car is not a 555 special I don't think, from more research it appears the limited run of 555 cars were all blue.
The yellow cars were signature editions.

shall i change model year back to 96?
sure i looked into all this couple of years back.
all 555 ltds were 4 door and in 555 blue.
i cant explain the seats and badging, but if all were meant to have them...
so what is my model year?
