The engine looks like one that is in a 01 bugeye Exact same actually .there is other letters and numbers gc8f . Its a exact replica of a sti semingly cane from the factory this way any info on the engine would be a help incase i need anything for it .

Not sure about the engine, but I'm sure replicas never came out of the factory... it simply does not make sense. Why would factory want to fake their original flagship product...
GC8F are the first letters of VIN - meaning its a classic (9/1998-9/1999)

Thanks for the reply . Im not bothered about the replica thing doesnt really matter . Im more concerned about the engine , i think i need a camshaft sensor it comes up when its plugged in . But its not affecting the cars performance which i must say is excellent ive had wrx and sti , but the extra you pay on insurance on them its not really worth it . Because you get so little chance to use the power and the non turbo is much lighter on fuel

If its showing camshaft position sensor faulty check the timing is set correct first, if timing is out a tooth it can bring on that fault
No i said they are easier to run and still a bit of craic .its just so expensive in this country to run a wrx . And i think its a cheaper alternative . But they seemed to be frowned upon which i think is unfair , ther are lots of people driving n/a imprezas. But i find some people on these forums run them down ? .
Couldn't stomach paying the tax for something with that power level. I'd rather have a turbo diesel car if was paying for cc's but each to their own.
Can I ask how many km's you get on town driving and how many on motorway runs?
