Hi,

Just thought I would start one of these as well.
Earlier this year I upgraded from a Gen 2 Liberty wagon to a Gen 4 Liberty wagon that was stock at time of purchase with 70,000kms on the clock.

Car

I have a few things that I would like to do it and they include

Exterior
Paint grill black (done)

Interior
LED interior lights (done)
Clear courtesy door lenses (done)
Floor mats (done)
Cargo tray (done)
Cargo nets (purchased in group buy)
Cabin air filter replaced (done)

Engine Bay
HKS hybrid air filter (done)
ABS & Battery covers (done)

LIghting
Osram Rallye low beams (done)
Philips HIR1 high beams (purchased) (f$#%&*d up and won't fit. Need H9 )

Swift springs (done) (for sale)

Whiteline rear sway bar (done)
AVO HD rear sway bar mounts (done)
Whiteline front sway bar (to be fitted)

Brakes
Hawk Performance ceramic pads (group buy)

Future Mods
Rear step protector
Coilovers (purchased) (fitted)
Whiteline roll centre correction kit
Whiteline rear camber adjustment (maybe)
18" wheels and tyres (currently on stock 17x7's with fairly new 215/45/17 Pirelli P7's
Catback exhaust system (purchased)

Couple of pics

I am thinking of changing the Bilsteins and Swift springs to coilovers as it isn't low enough due to the lower weight in the front. Should of looked into coilovers a bit more before purchasing looking back on it now.
Anything I may have missed or recommendations please let me know

Nicely done so far.

grill looks awesome!!!

Thanks, I thought it turned out OK and hasn't chipped yet. If it does I might Plasti-dip it instead.

Cheers Mark, I haven't really done anything with cars before and have bought tools etc and done everything myself so far. Feels good. I should have taken your advice and went coilovers straight up though. Been shopping again this morning

The postman seems to have been a regular visitor the last couple of months. His latest delivery, a set of new coilovers for some more low



After looking on here for collar to collar measurements to save a lot of time and trial and error I based it on dr20t's setup and added a little front and rear. Haven't had a chance to play around with them any more since installing them Tuesday. I have the dampers on 10 from soft. This is how it is sitting at the moment, I am pretty happy with it

Thats a spot on ride height.

Good stuff for doing it yourself.

Cheers Mark. Have done it all myself so far except for the front sway bar. Got the old one out but lost the wrestling match getting the new one in. Will have to give it another crack or just get it put on when the bushes etc get put in. Feels good to DIY especially coming with no previous mechanical experience, saves some $$$ too

Glad you went down the coilovers route - looks awesome with that ride height!

I should of went with them to start with but live and learn I guess. Tossing up whether to get a lip but the front bar is scratched up from previous owner already

Lip looks a million times better, you won't regret it

You'll just need to be careful with steep driveways etc but just go slow and you'll be fine!

I was looking at the lips from on the run motorsports. $200 for the lip but they want $120 for shipping!! It's also confusing with all the different front bumpers as to which one will fit unless the N/A cars have the same bumper as the GT?

Hey mate where did you get those ramps?

I got the ramps from Autobahn, they have had them in the last few catalogues that I have seen for around $80. They are made out of some tough plastic and weigh alot less than steel ramps

More work for the postman Picked up My TCP Auto wagon quads today and expecting my brake pads and cargo nets any day now as well as XForce centre and Y pipes to go with the mufflers.
Big thanks to Tony at TCP Auto for his work and helpfulness

Another day in the DIY driveway after getting the quads painted up yesterday. Got my Hawk Ceramic pads fitted as well as the TCP quads The left hand muffler isn't sitting quite right when tightened up properly (looks fine in this photo though) but will wait and see how it goes when the centre and Y pipe show up, hopefully this week. Sounds fairly subtle, not real loud at all maybe due to the different internals for this batch of wagon mufflers
