paul_honthy Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 They had one in S&S in Ayr,they wanted £13,500! Lovely car but extremely over priced IMO.
doorman Posted March 18, 2006 Author Posted March 18, 2006 just wondering,can anybody tell me how many RB5 were made?
oobster Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Dunno mate, but there is a VERY nice one for sale on here, by a regular SIDC member - 2559B. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/630431/ShowPost.aspx Think he's looking for £9,200 for it.
craig mac Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Just buy a P1 Man Dont pi55 about LOL they are ok but not my bag they are a bit dougster [sn]lol[] Or an sti 5 or 6 with a few mods [] Or a PPP Sti [] like mine which is about to under go major surgery [] Craig
2559B Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 IMHO - At 10.5 - 11k it'll have to be a total minter ..... with very low miles to expect that sort of money !!! The RB's seem to be changing hands for anything between 8 & 10k. There are also 2 slightly different versions of the RB5. You have "normal" ones & the WR Sport models. The WR model's ( which I have ) is a Prodrive enhanced version which comes with an extra glut of power/torque & probably the best spoiler available for the classics !!! This is an extract from the SIDC FAQ site ...... To celebrate Richard Burns' first year in the Subaru World Rally Team, the RB5 (5 was the number Richard used during the 1999 WRC championship) was launched to critical acclaim by the press. 444 examples of this car were made available to the general public. A "WR Sport" version of the car was available at extra cost, specified at delivery time by the first owner. Blue Steel metallic paintwork Fully colour-coded exterior (mirrors, door handles, skirts and driving lamp covers) Blue 'Alcantara' and suede-effect interior trim, with black 'jersey' surround on seats Special graphite trim for the centre console Air conditioning Unique titanium/pewter coloured 17in, 6 spoke Speedline alloy wheels with Pirelli 'P Zero' 205/45 ZR17 tyres PIAA front driving light conversion Prodrive quickshift Roof-mounted map reading lamps RB5 side and rear decals (and also on driving light covers) RB5 embossed carpet mats RB5 interior-mounted, numbered plaque "Limited Edition" only 444 available On the road price: £24,995 WR Sport Performance Package Prodrive High wing (similar to the new STi 5 but with the brake light on the wing rather than boot lid) Prodrive Performance pack, consiting of Prodrive ECU, exhaust and revised intercooler piping. On the road price: £27,500 Ally.

scoobyseller555 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 the other thing that was unique to the rb5 was the fact that it was based on the sti shell therefore had the benefit of a solid rear bulkhead(which normal uk turbos didnt have) Gav

My old 93 RA must have been a one off then!! I'll start taking pictures of every UK turbo i have with this REMOVABLE bar. As i do bodywork for a living, i'd say a solid rear bulkhead, should be as it's described....solid and welded in, just like the thing at the front of the car, inbetween driver and engine. Do you actually work on the scoob's then and not JUST sell them, Gav?
drb5 Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 product knowledge....its a dangerous thing! lol Gav No, just another common scooby mistake. Just like RA's have alloy wings/tailgate and thinner glass!
