“Colin McRae also joined Prodrive in 1993”
Try 1991
I think the article means he joined the WRC Prodrive team in ‘93. In ‘91, it was still the British Rally Championship. Try 1991

I wouldn't have thought so. 18's were really as big as you'd go, 17's were the sweet spot for me.
Very much so. 18s look very big on the old GC8 cars - anything bigger will look silly.mcpoot said:
Because it's 2022.
In that case, just buy a new Yaris GR/Golf R/Cayman GT4/R35 GTR/Mclaren/911 GT3 or wherever you want to pitch this car based on either where it sat in the market back in the 90's or inevitably the mega pints asking price.Technically will be bettered by all manner or modern cars. I'm intrigued to see what they do, it's not the spec I'd aim for though in my perfect impreza.

If we’re going to disregard his British championship and RAC Rally appearances in ‘91 then in ‘92 he was making regular World championship appearances. In 1993 the only difference was he was no longer doing BRC events alongside WRC so he hardly ‘joined’ the team for ‘93. For a lot of people McRae’s association with Subaru started in ‘91 and he certainly made an impact on that year’s World championship finale on the RAC.
Absolutely; an off at the start of Grizedale, and a fan shouting "C'mon, let's get/ have him out...".As for the car, I would have thought we'd see a 2L Turbo, and a H Pattern box, like the 97/98 WRCars had. The competition had sequential boxes; Mitsubishi, Toyota with their troublesome 'joystick' control, M-Sport Ford started 1997 with an H box, but introduced a sequential shifter later in the season.

I wonder how many of the 16 still survive?
I remember on ScoobyNet about 12 years ago when import 22Bs used to sell for about 20 to 25k, someone on th RB5 forum used to daily one!
This car was my second UK 22B, the first was stolen and never “officially” recovered. So safe to say 15 exist officially.I remember on ScoobyNet about 12 years ago when import 22Bs used to sell for about 20 to 25k, someone on th RB5 forum used to daily one!
You’re bang on with those values. I bought my import from the previous UK owner for £20500 in 2008 and sold it for £21000 in 2010. Standard car in fine fettle on about 48,000 miles I think. It was always a memorable experience to drive. Incredible grip, but with a RWD feel. Super short gearing though. I think 70 mph in top was getting on for 4000 rpm!

I'm surprised at the response on here. A mega rare, carbon bodied, sequential boxed, lightweight, 400bhp 2 door updated Subaru? I don't see the downsides!
Let' s see what they come up with and a price and how that compares to a nice rebuilt 2 door 2l/2.1/2.2/2.35 with a manual box.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
