dr_sharp Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Getting ready to make the trade. Payments are currently high enough to prevent me from funding any mods to the Legacy so I'm trading to allow alittle extra cash for mods. Any chance I could get a 22B over here? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edkwon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 22B should only cost a few $$ more than a standard 2.5RS, basically the same body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 22B should only cost a few $$ more than a standard 2.5RS, basically the same body. + the cask to ship it + the cash for port fees + the cash for customs + the cash to make it US street legal other then that you are right.

edkwon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 + the cash to make it US street legal other then that you are right. nope, the above is all you need to do. There is a 22B at the SOA HQ in Cherry Hill, NJ. You can buy that one, save yourself the shipping and import costs, and just pay to have it legalized. In fact SOA employees drive it on the street legally all the time, it last appeared at a regional subaru meet and i was actually following it on the freeway as the employee was driving back to storage at the HQ building.

UniqueTII Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 So the one in Cherry Hill is for sale for "a few $$ more than a standard 2.5RS" or are we just spouting off nonsense here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played sir. but still, its a useful social skill to recognize even the unfunny ones, taking them seriously could lead some to awkward situations in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniqueTII Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think my problem is that I spend too much time on forums so when people say dumb things I assume they're serious. The only thing I saw when I was in Cherry Hill was a lot full of LGTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoWagon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Why don't you sell your Spec.B and buy a swapped GC8? Saves tons of money and time when someone has already done the hard part for you. I've done quite a few Subaru swaps in my day and you always go over budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 What is GC8? I'm looking at 2 2.5RS's with JDM STi swaps in the next week. One has a 6MT/Diff swap as well. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoWagon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well GC8 is the chassis code that is given to 4 door and 2 door WRX and STIs in Japan from 93-99. In the US, 4 door and 2 door Imprezas are GC_ (_ depending on engine size, 2 (1.8L) or 4 (2.2L)), wagons are GF_ and 2.5RS are GM6s (6 for 2.5L).

dr_sharp Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 I appreciate the help guys but I don't want to travel halfway accross the country to get one. I checked one out this evening witha ver.8 sti swap and only 7k on the motor. Still had a stock transmission though so the tune was conservative to preserve that. Based on this 1 ride I don't think I can go without the creature comforts that I've gotten used to in the Legacy Still going to check out one more with a tranny swap as well before I make final decision. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 the original 99-01 RS shells are very on the cheap side, flexy chassis and poor sound insulation and quite short on interior features, its very basic. if youre looking for a daily drive comfort level with all the amenities and luxuries, youre better off avoiding the old RSes. Ppl like them because they're lighter, better looking and have that classic rally romance image attached to them. I used to own a 99, but after riding in them recently ive realized how crap a ride it is sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
