Alright lads my 97 type r is going under a good restoration soon, more body than mechanical so exploring the option of fitting nice 22B wings and quarters to it? anyone on here have it done and what sorta money are they?

Just make sure your sat down when you look at the RCM prices

 

Yep, they are very expensive. That's the premium ppl will pay for carbon.

 

ABW also do them

 

All the above are quite a lot cheaper than the OEM parts, Last I heard it was roughly £4k for a rear quarters at the time they were available

 

Have you seen a 22b and a type r side by side?

22b looks like the wings were an after though, which they were.

Only way i'd have that look is if it was a real 22b.

It's a lot of time and money and there is a lot more to it than just the wings, you really want a wide track rear diff, shafts,hubs ect to make it right.

I'd sooner go with a big engine build than crappy fiberglass copy of something that it will never be, it's a kin to the MR2 farrari conversion.

But hey it's your money.

 

Scoobyclinic do them as well

 

That's a little unfair lol, the 22B is basically a V4 Type R with a wide body tacked on and an extra 0.2 liters! The performance is near identical. Although I do understand where you're coming from.

 

There are some top jobs done with these kits a few on here Adam Knight owns 1 of the best i've seen
I'm stuck inbetween the 22b kit or ABW arches (which i've brought already)

 

^^^^^^
cheers dude, i know how much work goes in to fitting these kits its not an easy job at all.. id put aside a few k with fitting and spraying then getting decent wheels to fill up the massive aches.. ill post a pic for u to get and idea.

 

 

the good thing about the abw arch exstensions is the job costs a fraction of the price and takes half the time, if u rip one off ie on a track day its not the end of the world.. and they look super aggressive with a nice set of wheels, im very tempted to start a new project going down this route

 

dont you need to change the bumpers too?

 

i dont think u do mine has a 22 rear bumper and standard front bumper with vltd lip

 

Thats exactly what i'm after i love that look...

Appreciate what your on about with the money being better spent on an engine re-build but i'm happy with its performance and want the more agressive look of the 22B....by after havin a giraffe lookin at the prices of RCM!!!

i had just planned on using spacers or bigger wheels to fill the arches to be honest...

how much do you reckon the conversion cost you to get her looking like that>?

 

and was it just the wheels you changed or did you need different shafts, suspension etc...

 

Done the same to mone. Not overly expensive tbh and worth the end result. Filling the arches, just buy wheels with a bigger offset. Think mine are et11.

 

need for speed where did u get that splitter from iv been looking for something just like that for months.. yeah 8ich with et 11 will fill the arches just about.. as for the kit all depends of ur paying someone to do it or gonna do it yourself.. for a proper Job u won
have any change from 3k easy

 

That splitter looks home made to me.

 

Front splitter is home made. And yes, I had change from £3k.

 

Thanks for the replies lads. . . it’s a big decision cause its a lot of money to be forkin out but lookin at the results its worth it!!

Now next questions best place to get these panels?
I don’t want to get any old stuff … Would there be any point in looking for a scrap 22B or would the prices for original panels be crazy?

 

original panels would be rare as rocking horse ****

The kit i looked at is made by HTautos and seems a well made kit
not a cheap job as kit will cost £700-£1200 pending on if u have bumpers
then around £1500+ fitting then another £800 for wheels

great when they are done though

 

love your car buddy ,evan got it as my wall paper
