Liberty Tuned by Sti (Subaru Fans Unite)

[DoctorB]

Some think 70K is a lot of coin for a Subaru. I agree with them but I didn't want a supertaxi, nor did I want a hefty car loan that would have accompanied anything from 'ze germans'

So when Subaru brought out the revised Liberty Sti, this time with the good bits which they forgot in 06 I was keen.

Its got some nice factory bits like

Gold Brembos.
Bilsteins with Sti Springs.
6 speed Sti Box.
18" Enkeis.
Braided Brake Lines.
Front Strut Bar.
Pirelli P Zero Rossi Tyres.
Sti Quad Exhaust.
Sti Remapped ECU.
Sti Logos on seats with Red Stitching.

Ive got the JDM Grille on order but will probably leave the rest alone for now as pimary motivation for this car was something that I will not spend money on or tinker with.

yeah thats pretty nice.

after driving a Legacy wagon (with STi wheels and leather interior and thats about all, hehe) around for the last few weeks I have a new found respect for teh AWD's.

[jezza323]

they look hot, i reckon it will make a nice pokey daily :) congrats

[Sport4]

Absolutely beautiful (for a non Supercar) machine. There is often one parked down the road from work. Very nice

[DATZED]

I wonder how much behind they'll handle to an STi of same vintage. Slightly lower powered, and softly sprung I'd assume.

Looks very tasty though.

[rusty]

clearly not enough sti logos

who was it tuned by again?

[willsy01]

I very much like these. Needs slotted rotors :yup:

[Deus Ex]

Hot

Everyone knows youre not a true gangster unless you got cross drilled discs.

Slotted is for dudes with Commodores.


(yes I realise the ironing)

[willsy01]

Drilled smrilled........the bastards crack.

[TJ]

Ill take your box brakes rims please.

Organise shipping asap.

Like I said one of my mates has one of these, his is copping mods as we speak (cusco coilovers etc going in today)

Good car :)

[[ryan]]

Very Nice

Get some lock-nuts on those rims stat.

[Euroboost]

I hate to see your insurance. Nice car. Don't mind subies, just not in a hurry to get another one.

[VE Safari]

Nice. What does the JDM grille look like?

[TJ]

50mm lower.. you know you want to :)

[myliberty]

That's hot shit.

Once I have some fun in my Gen2 and get it all sorted, I'll be putting all the go fast bits in a black Gen4. H6T Gen4 mmm I felt it move just a little.

[InsaneAsylum]

i just lost a load over that thing

i'm hot for subaru turbos at the moment

[DoctorB]

I hate to see your insurance.

$625 a year full comp with AAMI. ($2000 excess) :)

TJ you are a cunt :) but I sold the Tein Coilovers I had (even though they would fit) just to avoid temptation. That car looks awesome but mine will remain a tractor because I want to retain comfort.

[TJ]

My friend has gone Cusco coilovers, and has said the ride is almost as good as standard :)

His ZeroSport grille arrives today :)

A little bit closer this time :D

[DoctorB]

is that Jamie's car?

[Stevesv8]

Is the McIntosh sound system as good as they say it is ?

[TJ]

Certainly is :D

One of my good friends, and someone who is widely respected in the W.A scene. Great guy.

[willsy01]

It sounds fantastic for a factory fitted system. Nice to see car manufacturers lifting their game in this respect.

[HoonBoy]

If only Sti went for a different colour then pink for it's highlights...

They are a very nice car, I get to drive one occasionally with out the price concerns. :)

[rusty]

why? i thought pink was quite befitting :)

Ive booked them in for you princess.

[rusty]

ill pass on your balls .. must be a subaru driver type thing :)

[FatBoy]

Not much of a Subaru fan mate but that is very very nice... Congrats !! :)

[Grunt]

love it - but everyone knows I am a subaru fanboy.
love the look of the 50mm lowering job aswell.

TJ - I recognise that location from the hektic fwd effort!

Sorry to hijack Doc!

[rexxxy]

Nice, tuned by Vin Macaro I assume?

[Michael]

Nice car DocB, wouldnt mind a wagon if they do come out???

[TJ]

Nope, no wagon variants.

[hakosuka]

Nope, no wagon variants. That is incorrect. There are wagon variants. Not as many were brought in as the sedans. At least 60:40 in favour of the sedan. Most sedans (and wagons) were black (unfortunately for people like me who hate black, and plan to get a used example when they are more affordable) and the rest silver.

I actually found the stereo to be somewhat overrated. It produced distortion/clipping on the heavier bass sounds during a song and the volume wasn't even turned up halfway.

[nine2nine]

Ok, so it looks pretty but what does it go like? Any plans to take it down the strip?
