So, I'm at Jiminy Peak loading up my car to go home on, I want to say Sunday. I hear this growl. No joke, this was the meanest car I've ever heard.... the lowest possible sound I've ever heard out of a car engine. This GC8-style coupe in that 22b WRBish color rolls up. (I think the 22b was WRB, idk though, someone correct me if I'm wrong) Sick rims, the right spoiler.......... It was a SICK car. No decals of any sort, just straight car........

Anyone know if any 22b's even exist around the east coast? Am I a screw loose, or is it possible?

Well, after browsing NASIOC, I've pretty much answered my own question. 22b's aren't exactly road legal in the US. So I didn't see one........ my bad. :oops:

whats the difference between the 22b and the rb5?

I doubt that it was a 22b. Probably a nice coupe RS.

22B = JDM. ej22t 350bhp coupe. I believe there are less than 500 22bs in the world.

RB5 = UK edition. ej20t at 280bhp 4dr saloon.

reminds me of my physics teacher in high school, mr. veselka. (I dropped the class because that shiot is over my head and I'm stupid but...) he'd always refer to bar graphs as "saloon graphs" haha still makes me laugh thinking about it almost 10 years later

22b.... 400 were suppose to be produced by the end time of production there was a final total of 426 made...22b stands for 555 (in hexidecimal number system) not 2.2 liter Bilstein like everyone thinks. The power limit on it was 276bhp. Such an amazing machine and theres only one stateside.

I doubt youll get a chance to randomly see one anywheres , But if you know the right people you might get a chance to see it in a garage and be in fingers reach of one
