Hi, just wondering how you identify standard Aussie WRX models MY01/02. If it was made Nov01 would it be an MY02?
The only differences I can find:
----------- "Closer ratio gears in the manual version. The gear ratios have been revised for improved driveability for Australian conditions, and produces increases of up to 16 per cent in in-gear performance. Final reduction gear ratio is now 4.444 compared to 3.9 for the MY01 model. The automatic WRX features a gated selector. For security, the keypad alarm, linked to the immobilizer, is the same sophisticated system used in the recently-introduced Liberty B4, taking Impreza WRX security to new heights. Manual transmission:MY02 Impreza WRX: MY01 Impreza WRX comparison Gear ratio 1st: 3.166: 3.454 Gear ratio 2nd: 1.882: 1.947 Gear ratio 3rd: 1.296: 1.366 Gear ratio 4th: 0.972: 0.972 Gear ratio 5th: 0.738: 0.738 Gear ratio rev.: 3.333: 3.333 Axle ratio (Final reduction ratio): 4.444: 3.900 In-gear time: MY02 Impreza WRX: MY01 Impreza WRX
35-90 km/h in 2nd gear: 4.29 seconds: 4.81 seconds 50-120 km/h in 3rd gear: 7.52 seconds: 8.56 seconds 70-140 km/h in 4th gear: 10.34 seconds: 12.3 seconds- Data independently collected by the RACV. Other changes to the entire MY02 Impreza range include the addition of a window-integrated radio aerial, an outside temperature display, keypad alarm linked to the immobiliser and automatic transmission is now an option."
---------- So without being able to check the aerial, can I tell from fab. date or engine number?
Thanks in advance...
