What does BC/BF mean?
Does anyone know what BC and BF actually mean? I tried searching here, google, and nasioc but couldn't get anyhting on it. I know that sedans are bc and wagons are bf but what do the b, c and f stand for? I'm assuming b= boxer. But then where did the g-series(impreza) come from? Also with the second and third gen, bd/bg, be/bh is it just because c d e and f g h or is there some meaning behind it?

I don't think there's any specific meaning behind it.....it's just the body code of the car's chassis.

This leads me to another question. What is the difference between a BC5 and BC6?

I thought the BC5 was the 90-91 legacies & the BC6 was the 92-94 legacies.......but that's just a thought/guess.

I thought it differentiated between turbos and non-turbos... but my 91 is a BC6, and boostjunkie's car (Adam's old car) is a BC5...

Bump!
So, what's a BJ6, then? I have an MY90 5MT/FWD Legacy L Wagon. Is it kind of like the GC8 Impreza, which doesn't exist on our side of the pond, but everyone calls it a GC8 anyway?
Edit: Nevermind...

Damn this thread is old. One of my first
Anyway, what I realize now is that what we were talking about was the applied model code, and not the vin.
The first char is the model line. A = Loyale, B = Legacy, C = SVX, G = Impreza, K = Justy, S = Forester, W = Tribeca. I'm sure the other chassis have their own letters as well, like the R1, 360, Sambar, etc.
The second is the generation and body style. C = first gen sedan, F = first gen wagon, J = first gen low-roof wagon and so on.
Third is the engine type, there's tons of this depedning on the first two, from 1=9 and letters even. 5 = 2.0 turbo for Legacys, and 6 = 2.2 (turbo or not) for legacys. Imprezas are different.
there's more characters than describe the model even more like tranny, trim, etc. Basically the applied model code says pretty much everything about the type of car.

Wow, it's WJM.
Anyway, Brian is right. 7 = 2.2 I was looking at the vin like a noob, instead of the applied model code.

I thought it would be fun to revive this thread for my question.
Found this on YahooAuctions Japan and I am wondering if it will fit a 1992 SS.
http://page15.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t50782317
I know that BC5 just speaks to the fact that they have the 2.0 Turbo but since we have pre/post facelift I was wondering if the BC5s did too and if I should be worried that this will only fit pre-facelift BCs.
TIA

Well I don't have a BC5, I have a BC6 like all the other North American cars. But I think there is a good chance the front bumper is compatible.....
I guess I need to find out if the listing mentions pre/post facelift or Zenki/Kouki as they say.....
