Right iv got a bolke looking for an english 22B for me, he reckons jan/Feb before i get one. But im still unsure about performance figures etc...
0-60 3.8??? i think its a bit optamistic
350bhp??? maybe...
will it eat cossies and evo's??? it better
are the jap one's faster???
someone tell me the truth for once and for all
Thanks

rsquire

Standard 22B's are 276bhp/280ps

0-60 3.8 no ! about 4.5 roughly !
350bhp no chance ! 276 as Richard says (he should knwo he owns a Jap one )!
And to answer the rest of the questions, NO they will not eat EVO and skylines, but will be in among them !
And yes the Jap ones are maybe a little faster accelerating as they have different gear ratios to the UK Type ones ! There are only 13 UK ones in existence of the 14 that were built as far i know. You stand a better chance of getting a Jap one !

Salsa - Listers have sold on 9 and I have test driven two and sat in two. Does that count.

The best one they had was the one 6 months old 150 Miles on it.

One guy who had one phoned about a fuse for his 22B and ended up part ex'ing his for the one with 150 on it. Expensive fuse

I was gonna have his old one but my accountant poo pooed that Idea.

salsa-king

Bloody accountants...

At least I'm contributing to the NHS - mine had a heart attack when I told him about my impending purchase.

Neil Micklethwaite

... and I have drooled over a couple more too .

Did like driving them very much. Quick and the steering was heavenly, only downside was lack of ABS.

Accountants - Is'nt Harj one of those ?

cryptwalk

There was a 22b is a bodyshop near me, don't know if it was uk or jap spec but it was totaled been on it's side!! I hear it got sold as a damage repairable for 13k

johnfelstead

Driven one type UK and been in another.

Driven two jap 22B's more times than i can remember, including on track at Oulton, Dono and the Nurburgring.

The type UK is a nicer drive on UK roads IMHO, the jap spec probably works a little better on track but the diference would be small.

Do i get extra points for doing one on track. LOL

0-60 in 4.5 is a bit optimistic. These cars are all about torque and real world driving anyway, not pub talk figures. I love driving the 22B, it has real road presence. Almost as much as my Sport.

Ian Cook

Do i get points for driving one on track as well Anders car at Dono !

I seem to remember seeing tests done with one at 4.5 0-60 but as usual i am probably wrong !

Disco

I may be wrong but wasn't one of the UK 22Bs written off within a month by lottery winning 'car crook' Lee Ryan????

Neil Micklethwaite

Disco - I believe that was one ( not 100% sure ) his wife/partner bought it him for the Millenium.

But the other I am lead to belive was Ed Swatmans ( MD Subaru UK ) which was trashed by some journo doing a write up.

Ian - It's UK's only m8 How's the ra ?
