Is the B4 engine sump meant to be steel? Blue in colour? I know the engines are all-alluminium therefore, woulda thought the sumps wwere definately alum?

Engine - yes, all aluminium. However, sump is not considered part of the 'engine' per say. All sumps that I know of (bar the aftermarket ones) are steel.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.
