Hi guys,

I'm trying to identify a Subaru Impreza that I have just received to restore. The manual/instructions wern't included, so I'd like to know the exact model so I can order parts etc.

It's not the belt driven model or nitro.

I've attached some pics, so I hope someone can recognise the model/year etc.

Much appreciated!!

Did the ad say anything more and you have a body shell as well?
I don't recognize it as being Tamiya at least...
If I'm not mistaken, the first Impreza is the 58210 from '97.

found something a 2002 1:12 subaru impreza

here

maybe you can contact that guy that did the 3D





what is the brand on the receiver (ovcmo?)and servos maybe that can tell something more?

It's from the DeAgostini "Radio Control" magazine partwork from 2003. Parts are by "Bycmo", but IIRC it's an old CEN design.
Issues/parts are available for it from eBay & DeAgostini, so I suppose it's theoretically possible to restore one ... I just never heard of anyone doing so - these cars have negligible value, 20 to 30 GBP for a good one.

Thread now moved to correct section: "Identifications"

Yep, Bycmo magazine car as Jonny said.
There's a surprising number of people buying them (& bits for) on Ebay.
Got a bag of bits for one kicking about in the loft, some gears, decals, wheels, shocks body pins, maybe some drive cups....

Yes I had this confirmed through a model store. It was listed on eBay as a Tamiya model, so not very chuffed. I do however, have just taken in a real Tamiya belt-driven Impreza off eBay, so it's not all too disasterous!

It is a bycmo with a look like old kyosho MSC. Good luck for restauration. Some old graupners was like this one.
