Liberty GT Gen5 modifications
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 10:26 pmHi guys,
New to the site but thought I would just put out there what I've done and what I've bought and see if anyone has any comments/questions or advice.
About 9 months ago I bought a Gen5 2010 my11 liberty gt with STI improvements.
From what I'm told there was only about 200 made with these STI updated modifications in a Gen5 not a Gen4 as was the only type that I thought existed.
I obviously look at this as a bonus if that's true.
These improvements include :
Black STI rims
Front strut brace
Front and rear spoiler
STI interior components eg pedals,gear knob etc
These extras could be STI or car dealership additions either way I'm happy for the bonus and I think it looks awesome!
After surfing the web I came across Mrt and Maximum Motorsport here in Perth.
Bought with just 26,000 km on the clock having done close to 60k now.
As far as aftermarket stuff since I bought it :
Using maximum Motorsport's affiliation with MRT (XB kit)
3" full turbo back exhaust
Ecutek tuned chip (517nm torque)
Lowered king springs
Rear sway bar
Now it's time to update the stereo.
I love the car and it's very Jekyll & hide and gives Rex drivers and evo's a bit of competition without attracting police.
I've always wanted a white with black rims look and with a bit of a drop in the ride height it is exactly what I wanted..
