After selling my old Foz last year, I've been looking to get back into a Foz for a few months now, particularly at Forester XT Luxurys. Didn't really find anything available at the time which ticked all the boxes so started looking into Libertys. Spotted this Lib online, so went to have a look since it was local...fell in love with it straight away :lol:

I loved the GT Spec B since everything is pretty much in one package, leather, stereo, HID's, huge sunroof, turbo, bilsteins...which means nothing else to do? ...but you can always find something :lol:
Going to try to keep future mods minimal:
-grille
-front lip
-lowered springs
-short shifter
-LED interior lights
-TMIC
-rear swaybar

Eventually:
-dump pipe + tune
-coilovers....maybe...
-rear lip

^^^ mod checklist now completed.... whatever comes next will be news to me.

Looks like a really clean example you have there Nathan.

Those circles aren't the reason for you needing new tyres. :wink:

Thanks Bruce, :lol: anyone who knows their Subaru's would know that if a high powered liberty were to do circles there'd be four lines, not just one. Fooled a few mates with that pic. That said, I'm not game to do that with my baby...especially not on top of a 5 story carpark :shock:

I have an ACT licence which has no vehicle restrictions. :D Also ACT doesnt have any other coloured P plates, i would be halfway through my greens in any other state but in ACT it's just red Ps for three years

Totally agree with you, and filling in the gaps (susp, dump, tune etc.) is relatively straightforward and affordable too! Welcome!!! :D

Thanks mate! Gaining a lot of knowledge from this forum :)

This was the recent weekend's job.
Apexi Power Intake Panel Filter and Perrin Afta MAF Hose - both thanks to Bruce! :)

Need to clean that white residue off my coolant hose... :oops: what is that stuff exactly?

Just precipitate from the coolant, I soaked mine in either Aerospace 303 or tyre foam or both and gently rubbed it off with my fingernails and or a softened old green scourer so as not to be too harsh.
Looks a million times better and it's in no rush to return to white...
