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

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
    • Sequential Is fine to drive on the street
