Default Whats this?

Just looking on MANGOLETS website and found this, now it looks like a 22b to me, but says its a WRX?

As far as i was aware they didn't do the wrx in 3 door? And 22b only came in blue? And if it was a 22b its half price lol Can anyone shed any light on this?

The engine capacity of 1994cc gives it away as well

Front doors are too long for that it's a 2 door type R shell.

Or 5x100 to 5x114 spacers which would also be required to fit the wheels under the arches without losing them.

Thats the trouble with the 22b kit, you need a wide set of wheels or some thick spacers to pull it off!!

All GC8 cars are WRX's:-

The name WRX did not come to the UK until the Newage Bugeye's arrived.

My GC8 isn't a WRX?? It's a Turbo 2000, I imagine all the UK classics are with the exception of the special editions.

They were never very forthcoming with details, made me think they did not really know the spec themselves either. Nor would I pay 12k for a v4 type r with a widearch kit

Hence why he said

The name WRX did not come to the UK until the Newage Bugeye's arrived.

It cheeses me off When sellers list the 2000 turbo as a WRX, the WRx is 240-260bhp not 205-220
