G'day guys,

sorry I have been a slackarse and not posted this up before but have been caught up in "the moment" of exploring and enjoying the car and trying to collect bits, as some of the Perth guys know and trying to get this car at least part of the way back to it's former glory.

No 235 2007 Liberty GTB t/b STI OBP 6MT silver wheels, was previously owned by EXPLICIT and as most on this site would know had "a couple of mods" in the short time he had it. It was then owned by a couple who liked country driving and clocked up a few K's until I got hold of it late last year.

The Lib is my second car as I have a fairly modded 02GT Foz as a daily driver, which is white and the Lib is black, so I enjoy the best of both worlds...lol

mods to date, are whiteline swaybars front and rear and whiteline ALK.

recently picked up second hand Phat DP (courtesy of UrbanGT) which was just installled along with 3" custom SS centre pipe to 2.5" custom SS Y pipe terminating onto standard STI mufflers. got the exhaust guy to go 2.5" all the way to muffler wall, in the hope of free flowing exhaust gases before all the baffles inside those wounderful mufflers suppress almost everything.

while I was at the exhaust shop, I trial fitted a set of EL Tomei ceramic coated headers and depending on outcome of tune, they may stay on....appears to spool quicker??.....and awesome rushing sound even though no boxer rumble but then couldn't hear it anyway with restrictive cans.

hyperflow CAI went on the other day, cos I can't help myself :mrgreen:

if nothing else, at least I can change my LED parkers a lot easier.

sounds awesome, especially with exhaust mods to date, but I don't know of performance factor till tune...

and of course I couldn't resist the LED goodness (courtesy of Jim & Leo).

just changed to Blitz A/C filter, gotta luv plastic bits...wow, I didn't break anything,(again thanks Jim and Phat)

before Verso tune this arvo....can't wait, will let you know how it goes.

thanks also to AmericanDave & TorpedoJames for their help and advice.

cheers
Laurie

Cheers Andrew,

unfortunately it was stock when purchased,all JME goodies gone.

I've heard a bit about your Lib too.

catch up soon, maybe when Dave's tint GB gets delivered.

BTW; don't know if you saw my WTB ad, I'm chasing a Pirelli (pref) 215x45x18 tyre, got an unrepairable slow leak, any Perth guys got one lying around?

Great shot Jimmy - another reminder as well to get my Enkeis onto the car ;) The Libs look so good with those rims.

You realise those aren't tbSTi Enkei's right? Look like (afraid to claim a wheel brand where Jimmy is concerned :wink: ) 151c's to me

Yes I do realise - just thinking the rims look great filling up the guards and that's what my 18 x 8s Enkei will do WHEN I get the rubber and get them ON.

Hahah... definitely Not Rota's! :wink:

Such bombed wheels... Regularly look to make sure there aren't any going cheap as I doubt I'd be able to pass them up!
