The chassis code tells what transmission it had, which comes up anywhere they enter a plate like WOF etc. the text on the reg label isn’t worth worrying about.   You’ll also need radiator if you don’t want of to notice, the oil cooler at the bottom is a dead giveaway.    certs are easy if you call the cert place first and ask what you need to document first. They have some odd rules that don’t apply to modern cars vs the classics they write them for.

Endliiiinks! Turns out even the spendy Whiteline ones fail eventually, both went crook within 10000km of eachother. I also think I had them over-spaced with the washers they came with, my setup looked more like a Z then a straight link. Finally did rears too. No more noises..... for now    

Thats why when I buy my next Subaru I want to be careful about what the Dealer puts down on the Rego sticker. I see in the case of one Impreza GT it read "2011 SUBARU IMPREZA GT 2.0 AWD AUT" like nah mate you only get the minimum: year, make and model so subtle changes won't get immediately flagged.
