You're welcome.

He is.

When you start your game get at least to your I-B license. (without exiting you should be done by day 5-7.)
If you gold the first license you get the Spoon S2000. Take it stock to the Trial Mtn Enduro. You will win 150,000 and a Denso Supra that can be sold for 250,000. Then start going to the dealers after the races. You should have enough cash to buy the 22-B on Day 9.

 

[NOS_Conor]

The thing is, I'm on day 36*

Edit- I even sold My first car to make room for it

 

[Gil]

Then, the 22B should appear on day 39, I think. If not it will appear on days 90-99.

 

[NOS_Conor]

No, I meant three hundred and sixty-something, lol. I'm almost at 400 now though

 

[Pupik]

I've never been able to sell my first car(s). You have until the 9th day of any "10-day week" to buy cars; they change on a 10-day basis.

And yes, the 22B is the rarest of rare used cars; particular car/color combos are also hard to track down.

That leaves you three options:
1. Restart your game, using the advice in my first post in this thread.
2. Check in at the Used car dealer every day (after each race) untill you find the 22B.
3. You might check with your GT2 friends and see if you can "buy" one off of their memory card.

 

[Burnout]

I don't see what you guys find so awsome about the 22B, to me its just another Subaro.

 

[Gil]

Once you mod it, ESPECIALLY with the Racing transmission. The 22Bis a real stand-out performer, capable of holding it's own with the Skyline.

 

[NOS_Conor]

I've used it before, that's why I want it, it's great

 

[Burnout]

i had it a couple times but sold it.....didn't think it was all that great, but whatever floats your boat

If you did nothing to it but add mods you wouldn't think it was very good.
It has the same limitations in "stock" form as the R390 road car.
It's geared for quick acceleration and has a wimpy top end.
Once you move the slider for "sports-wide" to about 10 on either car you start to see the performance you had hoped for.

lol i'm at 1000 days....haha had my file for a good 2 yrs...but sadly i lost my memo....i dunno about the days that the car appears but i know that a new line up of cars appear in the use every 10 days.....just enter a race just the race don't actually race...get to the part where it says setting and stuff....then exit...you gain days like that...just repeat that 10 times then check the dealers.....if it don't appear simply do it again and see if it pops out...it will eventually...

 

[Burnout]

i like to mess with my cars, i tried it with and without mods, but no matter what i did to it, however i set the ratios, or just about ANYthing, it always just seemed like another subie, hmm.

UPDATE:
I just restarted the game and the 22B appeared on day 24. Yes, I did buy it. And it sits pristine in my garage until I'm ready to use it.
As an aside, if you buy the 22B early in the game it's only 51,000 cr.
If you buy it later in the game it's 55,000 cr. Of course by the time it shows up later, what's 4,000 credits when you have several million?

 

[NOS_Conor]

That's not helping, I'm on day 400

 

[enKrypt]

I got gold on the B license, then got the other licenses. I did the Trial Mountain enduro, and then used the Supra to win another high prize race. I had a 22b and 240z before day 10.

 

[Gil]

Conor,
At this point you'll just have to check the dealer after each race for the 22B. It'll be tedious, but you'll eventually get it.

 

[NOS_Conor]

Thank's Gil,

You know, your a really helpful guy!


Edit: Wonder how you guessed my name?

That is one way to do it, but once you exit an unfinished race it counts as a loss! While some don't mind and I didn't in the begining it bothers me now.

I to find the 22B overrated. I've played and played with the settings there is no way I can get it to handle or accelerate anywhere near as quick as any of my hopped up GTR's. It understeers like a pig and the brakes even with upgrades are marginal at that.

 

[linkinpark]

i don't think you can really compare a Impreza 22b with a Skyline, the 22b is known because it was like a Rally car road legal, instead of a rally car road version, like the normal imprezas and LanEvos...

i've never driven one though, but my page holds one record made with a tuned 22b with 500hp and it almost impossible to beat!

 

[NOS_Conor]

I was playing GT2 on a friends mem card (he wanted me to work on it) and It was day 93, I sold the Unisia I won on that day and nopticed a 22B in the lot. I bought 4 of 'em! Then I bought all of 'em of him, and tuned every one differently, but left one stock

 

[RazorGTR]

Linkinpark I went to you site in your signature but couldn't find my way around good enough to see the "times". Also got a barrage of popups from hell

I took one of my 22B's out again and fiddled with settings for a few hours trying to get a good overall improvement but it will either understeer like a pig or oversteer worse than a Viper. It just doesn't seem to have a good balance for the road courses. Now take it off the road in a rally race and I would agree it is a bloody nice car there. It seems to be at home which would make sense since it was brought out to homalgimate it for WRC.

I really would like to get some of the settings for the suspension and diffs from you guys who seem to be able to make it handle so well.
Just for the record I average 1:07's in my R34 GTR VspeII (purchased) around midfield where I cant seem to get better than a 1:10's in the subbie. I've tuned both to about the same hp output and there is nothing in it in top speeds or straight line acceleration it is all in the corners.

 

[RB26DETT]

What SO GOOD ABOUT the 22B???!!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Hey NOS, all i can say is be patient i started looking from day 1 and it took checking every 10 days till day 160 came around before it entered the lot. Then I bought 2 . Im in the same boat with the soob 360. No luck

RBdett, dude, that is like asking, what is so good about ashley judd. The 22b is capapble of going to around 530hp and handles like a dream with the race mod. Runs out of steam in a straight line eventually, but what a sweet handler

 

[RB26DETT]

its just not to my liking. i've tried tuning it and feels heavy with weak brakes. i get too much oversteer or understeer from it. the evo VI is IMO so much better

 

[Mike Rotch]

Hey, im not saying it is for everyone. The old lancer vs impreza debate (shame, poor lancer lovers... ). Cant understand the weak brakes tho? I sure you have, but stick the brake controller to 19 or 20. I dunno where in the corner you are under/over steering so no suggestions for that im afraid
