Got It Rex Subaru Impreza WRX & STI (GC8)

This collection currently holds six Got It Rex parts for the GC8:

• Radiator cooling plates — short and long versions for the 1993–2000 GC8, designed to help direct airflow through the radiator core.
• Silicone radiator hose kits — replacement cooling hoses for the GC8.
• Silicone throttle joiner, 55mm — joins the intercooler outlet to the throttle body on GC8 applications.
• Intercooler splitters — one version for a GR top-mount intercooler used with a GD conversion on 1997–2000 cars, and one version for a GR top-mount intercooler used with the GC8 manifold on 1997–2000 cars.

Before ordering, confirm these identifiers against the fitment notes on the individual product listing:

• Chassis code — GC8 applies to the 1993–2000 Impreza sedan; GF (wagon) and GM bodies share the same platform generation, so check the listing if your car is not a GC8 sedan.
• Build year — some parts are listed for the full 1993–2000 span, while the intercooler splitters are listed for 1997–2000 cars.
• Intercooler and manifold combination — the two intercooler splitters differ: one suits a GR top-mount intercooler with a GD conversion, the other suits a GR top-mount intercooler used with the GC8 manifold. Identify which intercooler core and inlet manifold your engine currently runs.
• Hose and joiner sizes — the silicone throttle joiner is 55mm, so measure your intercooler outlet and throttle body inlet if the car has been modified from standard.
• Cooling plate length — the radiator cooling plate is offered in short and long versions; choose based on your radiator and panel layout under the bonnet.

If a listing does not name your exact combination, contact us with your chassis code, build year and current cooling setup before you order.

Installation by a professional is recommended. These parts sit in the engine bay around the radiator, intercooler and throttle body, so work should only be carried out on a cool engine.

• Basic hand tools, including sockets, spanners and screwdrivers for hose clamps and mounting hardware.
• A drain pan and fresh coolant if the radiator hoses are being replaced, as the cooling system will need to be drained and refilled.
• Correct-size hose clamps for silicone hoses and the throttle joiner.
• Time to check clearance against the bonnet, radiator support and surrounding panels once parts are fitted.
• Bleeding the cooling system and checking for leaks after any hose or radiator work.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the part and your workshop manual's torque and refill procedures.

Which Subaru models does GC8 cover?
GC8 is the chassis code for the 1993–2000 Subaru Impreza WRX and STI sedan. Related bodies from the same generation use GF (wagon) and GM codes, so check the fitment notes on each listing if your car is not a GC8 sedan.

Which intercooler splitter do I need?
There are two versions for 1997–2000 cars: one for a GR top-mount intercooler used with a GD conversion, and one for a GR top-mount intercooler used with the GC8 manifold. Identify your intercooler and inlet manifold combination and match it to the listing title.

What size is the silicone throttle joiner?
The Got It Rex GIR silicone throttle joiner listed here is 55mm.

What is the difference between the short and long radiator cooling plates?
They are two separate part options for the 1993–2000 GC8, differing in length. Choose the version that matches your radiator and engine bay layout, and check the listing details before ordering.
