Well... I think this is long overdue....

A bit about myself first I'm 22, I work at ESANDA/ANZ very boring.... and i love cars all sorts but especially JDM cars! I hate people who hate on other peoples cars no matter what kind of car,how much power it makes and how it looks there is no need to hate! I'm a Honda boy at heart... know alot more about hondas then my liberty. The reason i brought a liberty is because I love the shape and how its abit of both worlds... Lux & sporty, I was looking for my tuned by sti for about 6 - 8 months I almost brought a 2006 white wrx sti glad i didn't because i love my car and i think i made the right decision!

I love JDM, all things JDM those who know me I have that JDM mentality like... Dont buy fake sh*t, mates don't let mates roll on rotas (no offence), mates don't let mates rock stock etc.. etc..

I brought my liberty tbsti in april 2011 from nsw its number 13/300 black on black sedan manual it had 44,xxx kms when I got it... it had a couple of cosmetic issues when i brought it... no front lip..all 5 sti enkeis rashed like crap.... it came with honeycomb grill but I sold it...

Very nice build mate. Well done and good luck with it. JDM is a sub culture all in itself and prospering very strongly at the moment.
