CHECK OUT THIS SUBARU IMPREZA 22B ON CARS & BIDS!
crsnbds.com/impreza-22b
Now THIS is an awesome Impreza! Early Subaru Impreza WRX STI models are fantastic machines that boast rally DNA, a superb all-wheel drive system, and a potent turbocharged flat-4 engine. This particular example is especially cool, as it's one of only 400 22B STI models built - and, like all early STI variants of the Impreza WRX, it was never available here in the States. It's finished in the best color for these cars, and it features some great equipment like widened bodywork, STI-branded fog light covers, and an STI-branded exhaust tip. It's also equipped with some nice upgrades including Maxim Works headers, 18-inch Speedline wheels, a bolt-in roll cage, and a MOMO steering wheel. On top of all that, this 22B STI is offered with low mileage and a U.S. title - and I'm thrilled to offer it here on Cars & Bids!

I had a chance to talk to one of the Subaru engineers at a show back when this car debuted. They said the 22B stood for 2.2 liter boxer in reference to the engine. Thankfully there are a number of quality kits to turn normal 2.5 RS models into 22B clones these days and they have figured out how to make the 2.5 live in the 400hp range so this is a pretty easy cars to replicate if you like that style which I do

Seriously, it's one of 400 cars and the owner had to change the wheels, the wing (the wing is not much different, why change it? The stock one looked fine?) and the rear wiper is removed leaving a nub on the rear window... Just leave the damn wiper, it's great to have.

Some added quirks: (I hope Doug pins this comment, or Kennan mentions these if he ever reviews this car) 1. Stock rear wing - aside from adjustable, the rear wing also sits on top of the third brake light which is housed in a separate trim piece. The regular V5-V6 STI had a similar design albeit the third brake light being slightly raised due to the lower part of the spoiler (which is attached to the trunk) being lower than the third brake light. The STI optional double deck wing had a similar third brake light situation to the 22B but it is a bit longer and is separated from the wing itself 2. Carbon Fiber - CF strut bar was standard on 22B models. Regular STI had aluminum strut bars. Interior trim pieces are aftermarket. 3. Red intake manifold - better porting and airflow compared to regular intake manifolds, straight out of the Type R/RA editions which was the competition ready models. 4. Front bumper - 22B exclusive which was widened to pair with the fenders. Integrated grill, with a smal stalk holding the pink Subaru STI emblem. Although Subaru also offered a similar style bumperfor the regular narrowbody Impreza, it was a two-piece kit, with the grill being a separate piece. 5. Taillights - UK-spec taillights with the amber turn signal lights. Japan-spec models had clear turn signal lights similar to the front turj signal lights. 6. Auxilliary gauges - those are actually a factory option offered by Subaru, made by Lamco. They have a dedicated pod cluster that was supposed to be housed in the top central storage compartment. 7. Seats - 22B-specific. The black line across the STI logo is only available in the 22B. The next generation STi also had this seat, but without the black line across the STI logo. 8. Hood - scoop is standard, but vents are 22B-specific. Vents are enlarged, slightly raised, and are placed horizontally, regular Impreza (V3-V6) models had vertical vents with smaller openings. Even older models (V1, V2) had even tinier openings. 9. Exclusivity and rareness - Subaru produced about 400 22Bs for the Japanese market, and about 20 more for export (UK, Australia), excluding some prototypes that were given to members of the WRC team (McRae, Grist, and Prodrive). Total number produced was about 425~ units. 10. Another ultimate Subaru GC8 - Subaru also produced an even rarer first generation Impreza- dubbed the S201, a four door sedan with a wild body kit, and even more power than the 22B at 300hp, and even wilder suspension upgrades. Produced with less than 100 units, this car is even more rare and cheaper than the 22B. (Hope they review this car in the future)

Regular STIs also came with the carbon strut brace. Not just the 22B. And I'm pretty sure for any 92-00 Impreza, the STI and type R/RA/22B/S201 all had the same manifold within reason. I don't think the manifolds were polished and ported, and were essentially standard manifolds painted red. Some earlier type R/RA had a 5th injector next to the TB

The 22B stands for 2.2 Boxer. Wudda thought that was pretty obvious but then I was remembering the way some people refer to the engine configuration as a "Flat 4" rather than a "Boxer". What a car man.... I was lucky enough that 4 of my friends all had WRX's and STi's at the same time and I'll never forget the 1st time sitting in the passenger seat when boost hit! 😂 My mate also had an Impreza P1, and that imo is almost as special as the 22B.

My 01 I30T is the Infiniti Canadian version, so its missing the rear fog light, and rear wiper. As the Cefiro from Japan and the Maxima STR from Austrailia had.

Things to actually note: the Kenwood head unit wasn’t aftermarket, it was a factory upgrade option that literally says Subaru on it. The back seat isn’t a two seater, as you can see there is a lap belt and three buckles. In the trunk there is a 6-CD changer which is why the head unit was the upgraded Kenwood unit.

I modified it and drove the crap out of it until I sold it in the 2000s (I really wish I hadn't). The 22B was my icon going back to when it was released and I irrationally love it over every other car. If I could afford to buy a $300k car, out of all the supercars it would definitely be a 22B.

For looks, design and most importantly the handling and driving experience. Probably not as easy to live with and reliable as the Subaru but certainly more fun and headturner for sure. Great video anyway as always. All the best from West Spain Doug 😊

Subaru liked to refer to their rally sucsess with the codes for the cars, for example RB5 refered to Richard Burns no5 car and Subaru them self said the 22b is a hexadecimal reference to the 555 Colin Mcrae car it shared the body shell with. It might look like a basic Impreza (i think that was the point) but the 22b has almost a cult following due to it's Rally pedegree, back in the 90's there was the Subaru - Mitsubishi wars in rallying and they had fans so dedecated there would be fights at events over which manufacture was best.

I would be willing to bet some of these mods were done out of necessity due to it potentially being in an accident of some sort. The OEM replacement parts would have to be extremely expensive I imagine. If I had to guess, I bet the car was in an accident where it hit a curb (or something similar) with one side of the wheels, spun around, and took off the rear bumper/spoiler and potentially took out the rear glass as well. It's just a hunch but that could explain why things have been changed either willingly or unwillingly.

I never saw the 22B outperform any of the evos or base STi's. It's actually heavier than the other gc8s, so you're just paying for the rarity. If you wanted the best performing gc8, you got the Type RAs
@hotwire96
@hotwire96 4 месяца назад
This 22B is a bit odd. Removing the wheels, wing, gear knob and steering wheel, all items that command an incredibly high price used, and replacing them with non OEM units, as well as having a roll cage, kind of makes this too modified to be considered easy to return to factory in my opinion. If it were my money I'd buy a completely stock one, or just buy a V4 STI Type R for a fraction of the price.

The 22B STi is special only because of it's low production numbers of barely over 400 units total made. The 22B club in Japan still meets to this day at a Subaru dealership which was started by one of the 1st 22B owners. The 22B was a vast leap in automotive and rally technology. However, I will still stand by Richard Hammond's statement of the GD chassis being the best ever built by Subaru. I may be bias because I own one, but the driver/machine connection is much more raw and pure than that of the newer models without a doubt.

​@@bradydevergilio7478I can say with all confidence that you have a massive point in your statement. The advancement in the manual transmission/transfer case dccd control of the 2004 - 2007 STi GD chassis were a helping hand to handle excessive power applications, and it did it surprisingly well. I've seen stock drivetrains handle 700whp without issue. The added safety did tend to weigh the vehicle down a bit as the newer models from 2008 - to current have been redesigned and heavier crash protection systems have been implemented since the days of the GD.
