Look behind the alternator. The third character refers to the engine that particular chassis was equipped with from the factory. The engine code itself implies engine size, configuration, and other things like radiator type and crossmember used. Due to some confusion on the VIN versus the applied model code, the table has been revised to show Model Codes and VINs. EJ207 = 2.0L turbo WRX STi engine used in all 1999 to current STi models. EJ255 = 2.5L turbo engine used in US Forester XT & Legacy 2.5L turbo models (+ some overseas) EJ257 = 2.5L turbo engine used in US Impreza STi models. When referring to a chassis alone, you use the first two characters of the model code.

1990 Subaru Domingo van VIN location In addition to the frame rail stamped VIN - my 1990 Subaru Domingo van has a rivetted VIN plate on the left side of the passenger (left side) footwell where everyone says it is. It's hard to see because there is a plastic piece of interior trim in the footewell covering it up. But you can peek at it through a sight hole with a flashlight if you don't want to remove this piece of plastic.
I had to do this recently going through air care in BC (our smog check equivalent). The technician said he had to see the VIN plate for himself. Funny thing - I was meant to do a loaded highway speed smog check on the 4WD dynos here in Vancouver but the Domingo's wheelbase was far too short for the dyno to adjust to and being a full time 4wd they could then only test it at idle.
Of course it did real well. What a joke our aircare is. Cheers, Roman. VIN Location(s) Honestly, I am confused, mainly because I still don't know how to read the VIN #(s) on my Sambar pick-up. The website given on the previous posting of this thread was not a help. Here is the VIN # on my chassis frame, directly below the spare tire location: TT2 - 172620.
This is not enough numbers to satisfy the State of New Hampshire for registration purposes. I also have a 'VIN #' on the RH driver's door opening, a stamped plate riveted to the body directly below the door activated interior light switch, low-left in the door opening. The numbers on the little plate read as follows: LE-TT2 TT2FHBT TT-172620 271 110 FAC Portions of both numbers match, but I'm not absolutely sure if the body and chassis are even of the same vintage. My neighbor has run into problems and a revocation of the New Hampshire registration for his Suzuki Carry due to questions about the VIN #. He went into the local registrar (our town clerk) and was told the state had put a 'note' on his file. I am concerned this might be a problem for me as well.

I have until April to figure this out. That is when my registration is up for renewal. I might have to go begging for ag plates and hope they will give them to me, or this will be just another expensive atv for me. I am still waiting to hear from my neighbor and find out if he found a way around his problem. I will post any news I get on this thread. Thanks for any help out there.
NH news Rick- any updates? Just registered my mini (91 Hijet).and got farm plates, but now insurance co.
Says VIN is 'invalid' - hoping they don't create big problems for me with DMV. How did your neighbor make out - can he still drive his on street? We need to find a symapthetic legislator who will introduce bill to make these legal here in NH - live free or die - keep me posted. Having plow put on mine so haven't hit the road yet, should be ready next week.
Even with the plates, I'm still afraid I'll get stopped. My registration is not up for renewal yet. I still wait to see if I run into problems.
Of greater interest to you: My friend had the town police chief come and verify the ID numbers extant on his vehicle, a 91 Suzuki Carry, and provide a document of verification to the town registrar/town clerk who then provided documentation to the state. The state is the biggest problem in this chain. My guess is that this is politics more than anything else. New and used auto dealers have clout with their representatives, more than you and me. Just like insurers, funererary and medical practitioners, the auto dealers seek to have the laws written to make it hard for any new type of competition to sprout, or flourish once sprouted.
Add in the fact that the state licensing and registration bureau wants its pound of flesh and doesn't like change or special vehicles that don't plug in easily to the computerized ID system that they operate. Call it inertia. Don't buy the argument that it is all about safety. They'll license a Harley, but not an enclosed truck? My friend got his registration in the end.
Talk to your local registrar/clerk and also your favorite police officer. Here in tiny Cornish, we have a very small population and the service given by our public officials is very personalized. I hope you have as good of luck in your larger demographic area of Keene. You're in the 'big' city. Let me know if you still have problems and I will make a follow-up on the exact steps taken by our town officials (play phone tag with the police chief).
I'm not 100% sure of all the steps. Your police chief/dept and registrar should be familiar with providing this service. It is not unusual for an older vehicle, especially a 'Frankencar', to require a new or verified VIN.
Sambar VIN# Regarding discussions on this thread: I said I would let people know how things turned out. My registration window came and went without a hitch. Apparently, taking the 8 figure JVN and adding enough figures to it to add up to the 19 figures in a USVN did the trick. The previous owner had pulled every extra letter and number used, off the plate riveted inside the left door jamb, though the plate offered a lot more choices than he needed. My re-registration papers came through the mail from the Cornish Town Clerk in late March, without any red flags from State. I got my tags. It should be clear sailing from here on.
Now it's time for inspection.
