In this thrilling episode of Larry Chen's channel, we delve into the world of Subaru 22Bs, those legendary machines that have captivated the hearts of rally enthusiasts worldwide. The workshop we visit is a haven for these remarkable cars, lovingly restored and maintained by a true Subaru aficionado. We learn that stage rally and rally cross may not have gained the same traction in America as they have in other parts of the world, but that doesn't dampen the passion of this dedicated team.

As we explore the workshop, we are treated to a visual feast of machinery and parts. The owner proudly showcases his collection of manifolds, painstakingly painted with the elusive red wrinkled paint that is so hard to come by. It turns out that he is the go-to guy for anyone seeking an original-looking manifold for their Subaru restoration. The sheer number of manifolds on display is mind-boggling, a testament to the demand for these iconic parts.

The workshop is a hive of activity, with skid plates, transmissions, and brakes being meticulously rebuilt. The owner explains how he fell into specializing in Subarus, recounting his early days working on a rally car at Prodrive in England. From there, his passion for these incredible machines grew, and he has spent the past 29 years honing his expertise.

One of the highlights of the tour is the alignment rack area, where the team assists Subaru 22B owners from all over the world in restoring their beloved cars. The shelves are lined with rare and sought-after parts, some painstakingly reproduced to ensure the authenticity of the restoration. The owner proudly mentions that his name is the first to appear when searching for 22B parts online, a testament to his knowledge and reputation in the Subaru community.

In conclusion, this video takes us on a thrilling journey into the world of Subaru 22Bs, showcasing the passion and dedication of a workshop that specializes in these iconic machines. From the rare and elusive parts to the meticulous restorations, it's clear that these cars hold a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. With the rising prices and scarcity of certain components, the owner's expertise and extensive inventory are a lifeline for those seeking to keep their 22Bs on the road and in pristine condition.
