dont get me started on just jap birds, if they don't like the way you look, the price goes up 10%.

Also i bought split fires from them, a whole box, through the window of the box it looked like there were six coils in there, 2 minutes after i left i stopped at a maccas around the corner from them and decided to open it up and there were only 5, and the 5 were used. after 30 minutes one of the guys there admitts he didnt check the box and regurlarly they get returns or sell individual coils where there may only be 5 coils in a box instead of six.

I boycot them ever since, imagine if you ordered it online, there goes $600.

I send for japan now anyway, everything is cheaper and never had a prob

potential new car Kujotk?

Funny you should say that Nick, I actually picked up a new one yesterday and now my other cars are wasteing away in the driveway being destroyed by the elements.

PM me and i'll send you the link with some pics of it, lets just say comprehensive insurance is $6k/year and shannons/dawes ect... wouldnt touch me because i'm under 30 years old.

Edward lee has the worst rep for imports on Parramatta road (and thats pretty fkn bad).

From reliable sources around 4-6 were officially bought in the country by Subaru Australia. Subaru kept one and put the others for sale. Though I have personally seen 4+ private imported 22B's. Yes you are correct. 400 were made along with 3 prototypes numbered "000". The prototypes were given to David Lapworth, Colin McRae and Nicky Grist. From memory they made a extra 50 "Type UK" 22B which were only sold in Great Britain.

Where abouts do you live? You are lucky to spot a 22B is Australia. I personally have only seen 2 in the flesh (Both being at dealerships). I know of an owner who lives up near Woy Woy, Sydney.

Its hard to tell if its a Japanese or Australia delievered because 400 were made from 1998-1999. All of the 400 cars were sold in 48 Hours.You also mention it sounded better, potentially beacause the 22B had a unique 2.2L boxer engine rather than the usual 2.0L. It was the first Subaru to have a Intercooler water-spray button, adjustable rear wing and a changable Diff. Doesnt sound like much now but back in the late 90's these were very well above the current technology.

The 22B didn't have a radio, airbag or even ABS (IC waterspray taking up the space where the ABS was). Though it did have Blistein supension, STi struts, BBS Elektra wheels and a WRC-Spec wide body kit.

I don't think they were that high - I think it was only 3-4 Aust delivered ones. Most of the ones that are here are private imports

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
