Have a look at the Chassis Plate under bonnet for the Model Code (JDM) would be a VIN if UK Car

example the letters and number mean some thing like below

GC8F48D GC= Saloon 8= Turbo F=1999 4= 4door 8= WRX D 5 speed. so a 1999 WRX V5 4 door

GF8F58D GF= Wagon 8= Turbo F=1999 5= 5door 8= WRX D 5 speed. So a 1999 WRX V5 5 door

The list below may have a few copy n paste errors and C & D years are the same, 1st and 2nd half year, but hopefully give you rough an Idea

nice 1 mate , thanks very much ,,now i know what i've got to work with for tuning ect

[fullyforged]

i too have the same chassis and engine codes = jdm spec wrx but i have lots of mods ;-)

[rb5er]

I would have thought it would have 4pot brakes on that year?

A uk spec of that year would have 4pots.

True but I don't think JDM cars got them until 2002. I've also seen a few USA bugeyes with 2 pots as well.

The classics STI's certainly got 4pots a year earlier on the JDM's (MY98) than the EDM's (MY99).

To be honest I thouh

You can use  this Subaru decoder to know what model you have. In your case, the model from decoding will be shown as "WRX" (if it's really a WRX)  https://vinsonar.com/subaru/wrx/vin-jf1va1n69k8826..., while regular Imprezas will be displayed as "Impreza": https://vinsonar.com/subaru/impreza/vin-jf1gpad63d...

I'm guessing the car is in the great scrapyard in the sky by now.
