Serial of 8000 manufacturing date... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Harvey · 06-13-2014, 01:10 PM

Can people with a serial around 8000 (say between 7700 and 8300) give their production date as shown on the plate in the door frame ("MFD IN" frame) ?

I'm still trying to figure out the production date of mine and I figure all Sion/BRZ/Toyota have sequential serial numbers as they are all produced in the same plant.

Thanks for your info and help!

You don't have a sticker in your car with the production date on it? I have one in mine.

did you buy a stolen one with the vin plate cut out?

What stopping you from looking on your car?

Sorry I can't help my vin is like 800

OP's located in Europe, their VIN plate reporting is different than requirements in the US.

Oh, the vin plate is different in each country?

The more you know

mav1178 · 06-13-2014, 01:43 PM

Mine is ~7100 manufactured in Feb 2013.

Ours is standardized for FMVSS reporting purposes.

vs

The date of manufacture is important for our DOT for some unknown legal purposes.

OP is the black picture.

The red one is provided by someone else as reference, not my picture. My car is white.

Did you try calling a subaru dealer and asking if they can look it up based on your vin?

phobos512 · 06-13-2014, 03:14 PM

Maybe I'm stupid but in the black picture 2007/46 is the 46th week of 2007 so that's a pretty damn narrow window of time -much better than the Month/Year the US label gives you (I realize of course that's not a decal from a Twin in the black picture but it should be similar format?).

You can use this to find the dates for each week number (the link below goes direct to 2013):

No, the 2007/46 is part of the MINE Type (something used in france)... you can copy paste that full code into google and find it matches the Toyota GT86.

As said, the black one is mine, and the date does not appear, hence my question about approx serial 8000 because mine is around that. I suspect a manufacturing date around spring/summer 2013, but I'd like some way to confirm...I figure that asking you guys who have the dates on your plates could be a good way to fing out
