    RB5 how much they worth?

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    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

    The HGK PFR7B's are what you want .

    The PFR6B's are for use in standard / lightly modded cars .......... 7B's I use ..... as far as tips for fitting go , can't help you !!!  I let my wallet worry about that.![:$]

    Filters are a tricky subject ....... bit like " which oil ? "  or " best tyres "  ..... everyone has their own view's and opinions ...... with yours being a my99 .... just be careful with the MAF sensor ... steer clear of oiled filters & induction kits , the MAF's don't like them.

    Do a search in the Technical forum & read the reviews of different products. 

     

    Good Luck,

    Ally.

    Oh, is it normal to have so many RB5's is one area? thought that they were made in limited number??  lol..

     

    Hi Baz ,

     I used to stay in Livingston up until last July. I still work there & am in Livi nearly every day.

    Dealer or no dealer ???

    Just wondering who actually uses a dealer to service there car ??? & how important is a full SUBARU service history ???

    IMO - If  I owned a new model that was still under warranty then I would probably use a dealer in order to keep the warranty valid.

    However , since I own an older model with modifications & no warranty ...  I've chosen the private garage option simply because I can get the car serviced with the same parts but it will cost alot less.

    What's the general opinion on servicing ???

    Hi mate ....... welcome !!!

    Is there a particular model/version of classic that your after ????

    There are plenty to choose from ...   UK Turbo's , STI's , Terzo's , Catalunya's , Type R's , RA's , RB5's to name a few.

    There are also some modified versions kicking around which could give you a head-start if you plan to go down the BIG power route.

    Or keep it standard-ish ..... just depends what you want ?

    Good Luck ,

     

    Ally.
