jamie_wood Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I never see anybody up here at the back of beyond 22b? Awaiting anouncment from new owner! Wilkys 22B has selectable 2 and 4WD. Runs of a set of snow tyres and to be fair its not a showroom motor. Has a patch or two of rust and he lost the oil filler cap one day, so its got a bag over it now. Still a handy bit of kit though[] Link to comment
ANDYJDMSTI Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Some stats for Wilkys 22B......... 0 - 60..........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! No need to go any further i think!!! [][] Link to comment
the squiggle Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 His 22b goes a lot smoother with the better oil in it but the STI rear lights are misting up a wee bit. Grant Link to comment

wilky Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The 22b is a showroom piece of classic japanese motoring genius and I wont have it slated. It will go anywhere and with the back roof off I can put a roond bale of straw in it and humf it up any gradient you care to fling at it. However the wheels need shot blast and powdercoated, and she could do with a belt of NOS to get her over 100mph. I might just drop a L/R 2.5 tdi or an alfa V6 in it just to put yer gas at a peep Link to comment

wilky Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 The colour is irrelivant, the fact that I can put any 4wd cross country vehicle with the exception of a unimog to shame is great and she cost me £300. A service is that, a service as in 1973. Plug gaps, (no points as she is electronic) Dizzy cap and oil. Tractor oil is fine, and quitens her down. And ignition adjustment is a twist of the dizzy. However I need a new brake light switch. I could have had one at a local scrap yard, but my overwhelming urge to beat the guy to death with his walky talky got the better of me and i had to leave. The tyres are worth more than the 22b but its bought, paid for and its mine. 22b is the chassis number Link to comment
the squiggle Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well said Reverend Wilkinson!! I also owned 2 of these fine machines, though i dont think any had the distinctive 22b chassis code First one was 990cc, top speed of 55 due to it enormous tyres on it, and crossed the River Clyde without the use of a bridge or ferry. Second one was a 1300 hard top model with a top speed of 90 and about 3 foot of play in the steering box. I know of one in Dumfries with an Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine in it and can top 130, only brave men need apply Grant Link to comment
