I've been searching for a Subaru Impreza 22b on the auctions and on overseas retails sites and have had no luck finding a single one for over a year. Of course these are mythical beasts with a number of only 424 ever produced and 399 sold to the public.
I managed to find the closest thing to a 22b and it was in the form of a modified Version 6 STI V Limited Type R.
Someone decided to make a tribute to the 22b by modifying his existing Subaru to look like one, I guess if you can't buy one you make your own one right?
There is a full write up on how it was modified to look like a 22b Here
What's your feelings on this? Would you pay £33695 / $48000 for this replica?
replica no matter how good is not the real thing, here in Malaysia alot of replica and when they sell it, the price include all this mods and similiar pricing to the real thing

That's a pretty decent amount of coin to tell onlookers 'No it's not a real 22b, but it looks like one yeah?'
Although it's not up there in terms of people buying an MR2 or something like it and attempting to make it look like a Ferrari F430. At least you're starting off with the right manufacturer for a replica here..

For sure, these STI v6 Type R's go for around $8-9.5k at the auctions. This is a rip off of note

I can appreciate the work that has gone innto making the replica, but sometimes the owners "think" their car is worth much more than it is (or equal to the real deal) because of all they have gone through with the car. can understand dont agree through, lol. my 86 cost 50k to put together and i did most of the work myself with the help of friends as well. no way i would get that back if i tried to sell it... even wit h the takumi tax, lol.

Nice car and all, but it would still be a replica, so I would never pay orginial-money for it. I don't think I even would have paid the same amount as for a original Version 6 STI V Limited Type R. Since they messed with it I mean-..

Original fetches 125k USD +- these days but one hasn't sold in a few years.I know what you are saying though.... medium-higher mileage V limited Type R at the auctions are around $8-9k

Da 22B. Cue the Gran Turismo.
For the regular people, just forget about it. Forget about this and SportQuattro, they don't exist.

I can see where this guy is coming from. When I originally couldn't afford the STi, I just modified my WRX to look like one. But then I eventually bought the STi a few years later ;)
Lesson learnt: you can't beat the real deal. I wouldn't pay that much for a replica. Genuine or GTFO

For sure! Although I'd love to have a GTST just for the sake of the RB25 and RWD, cheap fun!
