Default Cool Car (not Z related but who cares!!!)

Meet the Miles Davis of Subaru!!!!

The owner of this car is a long time customer of ours, and one of the hardest core "car guys" I know. He just loves all things automotive! He also is one of the nicest customers we've had the priviledge of dealing with, which makes the process even more enjoyable!

ome details about the car:

- 100% genuine 1998 JDM-Spec Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B
- Car number 089 out of 400.
- Car has been fully converted from RHD to LHD, here in Lebanon, retaining the same steering wheel ratio as the original version. One of the VERY few LHD 22B ever made !!
- Around 37,500 km on the odometer.
- Original parts (except mod parts listed below).
- Pushing 1.3 bars of boost on original motor and turbo.


Current mods:

- PossumLink programmable ECU specifically designed for the 22B.
- GT Spec II exhaust manifold
- Cusco downpipe (no cat)
- Fujitsubo PowerGetter exhaust.
- Apex'i Power Intake
- Defi BF Boost/EGT/OilTemp gauges.
- AEM Wideband AF Meter gauge w/ O2 sensor.
- HKS Turbo Timer
- Exedy twin-plate ceramic clutch.

What makes this care so awesome is it's lineage (truly one of the best Japanese cars ever produced, and one of the rarest), and it's ability to look as cool as it does, even after 10 years after it's original release!

Enjoy!!!

they came rated at 280 hp, back when there were governmenal rules in Japan about advertised horsepower. I'd have to dig up to see what they put down to the wheels as stock though

I believe there is one of these locally (Northeast) I saw a picture of it at one of the annual Wicked Big Meet's..

It get's no attention though because people think it's just a regular WRX..

22B was my favorite car back whe the thought of an STI in the US was only a dream.

Definitely one of the hottest STI's ever.
