What a sight for sore eyes. Beautiful machine that 22b.
Some things I noticed that I hadn't previously in other pictures, red timing cover, wasted spark, and the clutch pedal appears to be sitting at a slight angle.

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
You are welcome, I'm actually glad to see someone is actually following my thread, it's tough to keep it going with the limited amount of work going into the Legacy at this time. I'm expanding into a second building now and will have a lot of work to update it to the same as my current building. When that's finished I hope to bring over the Legacy and ImprezaLegacy777 wrote:Nick,

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
The timing cover and wasted spark were factory with the 22B, The pedal pads were not factory, the car was a Japan export to NZ so it's got the gauges and steering wheel and pedal pads that aren't factory. I actually just had that new wheel put on before I made my trip, the old blue sparco wheel it had was falling apart.dankberries wrote:What a sight for sore eyes. Beautiful machine that 22b.

Engine bay is in great condition except the red manifold has the paint peeling which is common on these. I have intentions to restore the car back to like new condition in the future.

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
The main thing I find interesting about the 22B is the wasted spark ignition. I feel it gets a bad reputation, however that car appears to have an 8,000 rpm redline. So with some high boost and high redline I assume there's no ignition issues. I would suspect it uses the same coil & igniter setup found on the Legacies.
Anyway, just something interesting to note

Love seeing all the latest photos! Great work all around.
Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
Bikes have been using wasted spark ignition for since the 70's and they turn a lot more rpm than that and there were boosted bikes in the early 80's with that ignition setup. I would say that bad reputation has no basis in fact.

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
I've finally been doing some work on the Legacy, mainly just some details on fitting into the car so I've put the engine which is missing all the internals in the car and I'm now looking at getting some of the mounts for the intercooler finished as well as getting a pedal box in the car and master cyl and clutch cyl installed . I also need to fit steering linkage. I might have the exhaust made while it's in also.

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
Hi guys, I have been off
Of the Forums for a long time, mainly because of the amount of time I spend on other projects since I started my business. I have a few updates though, my Impreza 22B and Legacy type R are now here in the USA with me. I’m still working on my Legacy RS type RA project and now the 22B is sitting next to it. I hope to have more to post soon but hopefully there’s still some interest in the project

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
Man it was definitely very very difficult to do, I had some serious issues along the way so I’m just very relieved to have them here in the USA with me. It’s a relief but I can say I am probably still getting over the troubles that I went through, it definitely wasn’t fun !

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
One of the things that I have been doing with my business is heavy investing into equipment. We have custom made a lot of things which are in the photos of the gearbox stands and nitrogen bottles carts etc and then also I have been buying equipment from Breda that supply the F1 teams as well as many other series in Europe. Here's the photos of what I have as far as equipment now

That little base model sedan looks good! Amazing what a set of wheels and some TLC will do.
