Hi guys.

Not sure if this is the right section but thought I'd introduce myself. Lee from Gloucester. Just got myself no 232 of the RB5, and it's a genuine ProDrive with paperwork too
Love it so far! Few odd jobs to get done (rear arches starting to bubble being the main one), but I love the drive and love the feel of the old girl. First Subaru owned (apart from an old turbo s forester years ago)...

Anyway, hope to have a little look around on here for hints and tips etc

Cheers

 

Welcome sounds a nice car let's have some pics then

 

Trying to get Photobucket to sort itself out at the moment

Thanks

 

Get the arches does ASAP.

 

Yes will be doing arches in the next week or so just finding a decent body shop to carry it out. Done about 86k too and also have receipts for full forge rebuild last year at £4K but still running just over standard to keep it original

 

very nice

 

Thanks a lot. I love it and love the fact is isn't too common... has all the paperwork from Subaru stating it's an RB5 and a ProDrive version... and a shed load of paperwork too for service history etc. Bit of paintwork to sort on the arches, and the bonnet and front bumper could do with a blow over if I'm honest so will probably have that done too

 

Looks good, nice to see another of these still on the road. Defo get rear arches & turrets looked at, just had em sorted on mine in the nick of time. Be good to follow progress of the work on yours.

 

Cheers. I'll be getting it done ASAP as said in the next week or so... hopefully won't cost too much! I love the short shift on it drives lovely

 

Love the RB5

There were some rear arch repair panels on eBay for sale in UK.

 

Really nice car. Good luck with the work and put up lots of pictures!

 

Thanks, will be putting pics together for sure, its having a new up pipe fitted as we speak as the old one was blowing, also having a Hawkeye 4 wheel alignment done today too... I'll start a progress thread ASAP

 

I live on the outskirts of Gloucester. If you see a standard silver Turbo 2000, give me a flash . Nice car.

 

Will do, I'm Tuffley area but work in Stroud

 

Nice looking example there, haven't seen one on the road for ages now.

 

I've just spotted this on ebay if anyone fancies taking their chances:

They do look good with the WR options (as most are).

This was evo mag's (née Performance Car) favourite Classic model, back in the day.

 

Not wanting to **** on your parade too much but you do realise don't you that the arches will require considerably more doing than "a bit of paint to sort out"?

 

That looks a half decent project at not too much money. If only I had the room for it

There is a Terzo near me sat idle and is clearly unloved, I'd like that too!!!

 

?? Who said it just needs a bit of paint? 0i said paintwork I think. I know what's required mate it's going to a body shop to be done properly. No parades pissed on here bud

 

Paint/Paintwork same thing innit?

The fact is rear arch rust requires a lot more work to sort than just painting, but I'm sure you obviously know that.

 

Any progress with the car.

 

It's on eBay!!!!
