Jdooley22b Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi guys/girls Im new too this group and have never been part of any group like this before. I live in the Isle of Man and a petrol head, my little collection is growing slowly. But lately i have bought one of my dream cars, the 22b. Its number 393 and one done 52k. The Body is in amazing condition and most things are original. Although i need to find the original wheels. under the bonnet is a little shabby and underneath in general, all mainly surface roistering etc as it was sat outside for about a year. Car runs perfect. I have all the books for it and the First 5 services (Grahame Goode Racing) so was just after some advice on where to get parts etc as I believe underneath it’s just a version 6? But i want everything like the day It came out the factory. Any advice would be appreciated. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi n welcome to s.o.c , what a great choice of scooby and feel free to post some pics 😉 I'm unsure what version they're based on tbh but a pic of the bay would help with that . About the only real differences between 22b and a classic type r is .... They're a 2.2ltr instead of a 2ltr and they have a wider body , although I'm not sure if the "track" is wider too . Most of us use luke @ import car parts for all things oe subaru and if he doesn't have what you need in stock , he'll probably either be able to order it in or point you in the right direction. All the best with the refresh and feel free to keep us updated with the progress 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdooley22b Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Appreciate the response, under the bonnet it the EJ22 as you say, but i think the running Gear is off the version 6. Although i might be wrong. Its a beautiful car and I’m very happy to own one. As they seem to be getting very thin on the ground i would like to make this one concourse. I also have a 2006 Jap import STI Hawkeye in white which is very rare, the 2 lite. Done 75,000 miles in excellent condition. I’m going to put that up for sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Think i read that the box is a 22b only item but wouldn't know if lateral links ,hubs ,trailing arms ect are the same due to the wider body (possibly) changing the track or width of running gear . Luke Gillespie from import car parts would certainly know , either give him a call or drop him a email and I'm sure he would be able to answer your questions.
