GD, GC8, help ma boab, why can't they just say 2006...

[4Hero]

I was away to order a couple of bits online for my car (2006 STi) but it gives me 2 options when ordering, GD or GC8? What do these mean?

I received my Certificate of Conformity and it says:

Type: GD/GG

Variant: GDF

But I'm not sure if the Type: GD is the same [:'(]

Is an 06 a GD?

Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Neil.

GC8 = Classic

From memory GDA/GDB/GGA is the shape of the car then there's the applied model code which was A and B for the Bugeye, C D for the 03 and 04 Blobeye, E for the 05 Blobeye and F for the 06 Hawkeye.

So GD should be ok for yours depending on what you're ordering.

Cool, thanks Stephen.. One of the things I was ordering was these tein bonnet dampers, I imagine you can't go much wrong with these? Who am I to say though []

[st3ph3n]

Should be fine.

I believe Hypertech have a set in stock. Certainly did last time I was in.

[st3ph3n]

I have no idea how these model codes work you know. Either way GD is new age. PErhaps Grant or someone can explain.

I could always send them back if they don't fit. I will give it a shot []

Neil, have a lookie here

2.5L (STi): F (ie: GDF is a 2.5L Impreza WRX STi Sedan)

knew I'd heard of the funny model codes somewhere - Jacob  (the American in Scotland) was talking about them []
