the Subaru 22B
 

for all those who were confused in the darins sti picture thread.

i bring to you the only known 2DR STi. there were only 425 ever made. none made it to america. 16 went to Austraila, 50 made it to europe and the rest sold in japan.

^badass,:yes:
i dont see why they dont make more and send them to america, i'm sure they would sell like hot cakes here.

id buy one in a second if i had the cash....:yes: :yes: :yes: :cool:

Yeah that car is awesome, I don't know why Japan keeps all the good stuff to themselves. WE LIKE COOL STUFF TOO!!

i wonder if u could import one to canada....are they all sold?

i think they had a 2.5 rs turbo here with almost similar numbers.

Fuckin' sick man!

awesome thanks a ton Ben:thumbsup:

Revenge for WWII. :pfft:

Actually......those numbers look a lot more like a newer evo....276hp? The sti's had 300 in america and everyone knows we dont get the better stuff over here:confused:

having that wing on a four door car looked odd enough, but on a 2 door its really odd looking.

all 425 are sold. actually i have pics of a guy who totalled his in 2 weeks after purchase brand new. :mad:

all the 2.5RS are non turbo stefan.

this car did and has beat ever EVO so far. so mitsu is still trying to produce a car that can beat it. :D

lol it is revange for WWII. lol :D

no problem darin. i just had to share. i was so surprised you guys didnt know about them. for 36K i would buy one. my uncle made one out a newer 02 2.5RS. he swapped a STi motor in it. ill get pics of it.:yes:

that body style had some turbo rs's not all of them, and they were rare as fuck

:D
you kill our population so we'll torment your youth by not giving them the best of our technology

I thought we were talking NEW STI's....

I never googled it, but I always thought that all of the 2.5RS were N/A.

BTW: The GC8 is so hot. <3
I have this thing with 4dr > 2dr now.

I swear, I'm not biased.

No way......4 door is great

276hp is the "agreed" power limit in Japan for auto manufacturers...or so I've been told. If you've ever played GT3, you'll notice that all Japanese big power cars (like Skylines) list their numbers at 276hp. The real numbers are higher...much like Amerikan muscle cars in the late '60s-early '70s. Like a hemi-headed Ford 429 with an 800+cfm carb (Ford's Boss 429) was only making 375hp. Sure...my ass. Rally-style cars were never really my thing...but it looks good.

Wait, so you're agreeing with me but thinking you're not? I said 4DR > 2DR
4dr is greater than 2dr.

GC8 = 4DR too.

Dorkus. ;)

And for the record, 4door IS great.

yeah..just came out wrong....the 4 door owns....i agree with you fasho!!!! NO arguements.

bah, 2DR kicks so much ass.

actually my car only came 2dr.:dunce:

2 door cars rule. If the STi came in a 2 dr. I would have had one 'yesterday'. Bring on the STi 2 dr. :yes: :yes: :yes:

Not bad. :)

2dr that I find sexy.

it's just so clean..

and once again, so sexy :yes:

This is the first 2.5 coupe I've ever found anything near sexy.

^^^ oh MissJDM...now that's hot...nice pics...holy shit

its not the 22B, but it is nice!
