Yeah, I read that there were 400 22Bs madee but only 16 were officially imported!!!! Although there must be some grey imports cutting about!!!??

 

Posted by Mike Wood "The show cars were built from Blue STi V5 Type Rs made to look the part ( we used the white one for development as we had it 'in stock' and couldn't wait for blue ones to arrive.

A P1 isn't a Type R with bits removed, it best described as a V6 4 door built into a 2 door bodyshell with Type R suspension. Bit more complex than that as some parts were fitted in Japan and more were fitted in the UK but it's more correct than saying it's a low spec Type R."

Thats a white V5 type -R

 

I posted a thread on here and on the type R-RA register a few weeks ago trying to find any type R WRC V/LTD's.I've managed to track down 5 so far in this country.A guy on the R-RA register thought there were 10 in the uk

 

I bought it over a year ago after smashing up my MY97 Sport and only paid 2k for it. I already new about the GL's being imported prior to buying this but once I had bought it I started searching the various forums to see what I could find out. The car is exactly like a wrx should be apart from a gl vin plate. The car also came with an ali bonet, ali wishbones, electric folding mirrors, prova ecu running 1.2 bar, td05, blitz boost/turbo timer, bailey dump valve, unknown filter which has now beed change for an R1 and ohlins adjustable suspension which has 35 settings and is very firm. I have since added rear box, de-cat and some STi 17's.
From what I could find out my car has all the signs of being one of the early imports so I wrote to Subaru uk and tried to get confirmation. it clearly states in my log book that it is a Subaru GL and was registered in the uk Dec 92. Subaru UK confirmed that they had imported it but weren't willing to disclose any other information to me. I am also thinking of writing to Prodrive just to see if there is some truth as nobody seems to know for sure.

 

yeah

 

An unmodified P1

 

What utter rubbish.

 

The 1.8GL does exist. My father was lent one by a Chesterfield Subaru dealer way back while Prodrive were developing some of the first road bits on our car.

 

dont bite this guy's head is full of magic, there was quite a long thread while ago re this guy and his superdooper car

 

I remember it. I can bite as I've teeth

 

Hi scoobynutta555

Is this your old 22b?



I know the guy who has it now. I think its had some engine work since.

Stunning motor

 

Yep, that's my old car, very nice it was. The new guy needed a rebuild several months after I sold it to him I believe. I was going to take the mud flaps off if I was going to keep it along with the headlight protectors. They both totally spoil the look of the car IMHO.

 

Thats my car. Reason why had remained unsold is because of the lack of a model report. Future autos still havent taken it off their website grrrr

 

Saw this at Willerby back in Dec 06 at a charity meet very nice i must say

 

Not a blue one with a T25 no. plate is it ???????

Mog

 

I assume you are talking about the Hawkeye if so....

You have 1 in white
I have 1 in white
Someone else on here has a white one
Someone else on here has a silver/grey one

and that will be all due to the changes in import requirements.

BTW I love the brake conversion on yours, can you give me an idea of price for the front and back.

Regards
Mog

 

my forester? as it doesnt live on a farm ROFL

 

Only 25 of these made:

Prodrive (1994)

 

Saw this thread, and that was exactly what I was thinking

 

Bumping an old thread

Anyone know if the above quote is true?

Now that i have one i'd be interested to find out more.

 

I`m not sure how true this claim can be, but it would be nice for me if it were...

I own a Version 1 WRX RA (19 years old now) and still going strong..

I do know that the V1 WRX RA`s were nearly all either white or blue... With a "Very" small number making it out in Red (25 is a number I read somewhere).
Mine is Red. I don`t know how many of the red V1`s have been imported to the UK, or how many have survived round the world.

Due to the fact that my model is 19 years old, not many can be left at all. With write off`s, stripped, rotting etc...

So, A Red Version 1 WRX RA must be up there with the rarest (And Oldest)

 

Ewes that s201 is kak ugly

Topic is should have read. Rareist nice scooby

22b would be my choice looks lovely

 

That is the exact car I wanted, had to settle for a STi 6 wagon in blue...........

 

S201

end of !

 

anyone know how many of the prodrive 25 cars are left? and who has 1?

 

They were either red or white, that was the 2 colours they made the MY93 WRX RA in, never known any blue ones.

Tony

 

Prodrive cars dont really count as they were not a factory production model plus they made 25 each year, in reallity it is just a tarted up uk turbo...

Tony

 

thought was 25 altogether?..read on the prodrive site was just the 25 built..also the magazine they were featured in performance cars 1995 when named the chosen phew said was just 25..mm

 

Nah, 25 each year, all they were, were standard cars sold for around 33k but they had ALL the optional extra's fitted, recaro's, wheels, spoiler, PIAA's, aircon, suspension etc, whatever was in the options book (and numbered by prodrive as they fitted all the parts).

Tony

 

so how many was there altogether over the years mate?..
