RB5 newbie...
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

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.

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

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

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