Sorry if many of you have seen this video before, but it's a nice 6.35 minute reminder of the days when Subaru actually used to win rallies with the likes of Colin McRae. No music, no commentary and no crashes, just good footage of the 22B-style 1998 WRC car taking corners.

ahhhhh, when subaru used to be good

they should re do the classic again as its the only one they have got right IMO

 

Loved it when it was set-up for Tarmac, just sat SO right....

Awesome!! plenty of sideways action.Daft question but what causes that chirping/chattering sound?

 

its a pissed off squirrel

 

Oh gosh, I love the 22b.

 

Anyone seen the vids of the 850 bhp roger clark vids? Awesome.

 

That video just shows what the Impreza used to stand for! The days before Lexus lights, tinted windows, dump valves, loud exhausts and black wheels!
IMO the best days!

 

Here, here!

Agree with the chap about it sitting so right on tarmac, it looks so confident.

Also scoobmeister - your bang on mate, the car before the neds, brilliant

The glory days of the Impreza and WRC, I hope the manufactures come back one day

 

i've got to wait all day now to watch this !! i want to finish work now to go home and watch it !!!

 

 

awsome video.

Might go back to gold wheels.................

 

Wastegate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The noise is in fact the air compressed by the turbo passing back through the compressor wheel of the turbo after the airflow is abruptly halted by the throttle plate closing, called compressor surge. However, in some cases, i.e. where the throttle plate doesn't open fast enough or is set up to only react to high boost, some chatter will remain. Surge can occur on diesels when the turbo is attempting to pressurize the air at a higher pressure ratio than the compressor wheel can flow at a given speed

 

thats where im heading, gold is quite uncommon nowadays

 

Cheers Mr White think that explains it

 

Awesome

 

With regard to Gold wheels, They are to Subaru what Rosso Red paint is to Ferrari.

 

Great video. What year did Subaru change to WRC spec btw, was it 1997 or 1998, I can't remember.

 

WRC Regs started 1997. Subaru won 8 events and the Manufacturers' title that year. I think the Works team campaigned all of their events from 1997 - 2000 with the wide-body 2 door classic shell, but I stand to be corrected!

 

Correct Although there were different versions of them.

 

anyone know the name of the music dubbed over this video?
