Hey Guys,

For the rebuild and phase II of the project refer to Page 40 and onwards: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9497&p=229582#p229582

I have been an owner of my Liberty GT Spec B MY08 6speed for only a few weeks now, and loving the experience. Purchased the car with the Ecutek from previous owner, had a K&N air filter installed, other than that its totally stock.

Looking to do a few things to it to make it a comfortable GT cruiser, but a wolf in sheeps clothing. So first up was a 3inch turbo back exhaust, by MRT and the associated tuning. *please kindly refrain from flaming in thread*

Back in Melbourne went to my trusted long time mechanic at Racetec Performance, and had a HD Exedy clutch installed, Whiteline rear sway bar, and anti lift kit.

Hey Guys,
Latest update, be honest pass or fail re: FMIC look. Excuse the quick and dirty photos, yes i know the front bar looks like cactus, previous owners fault because of a steep driveway, plus more recent addendum's.
Its a Greddy core that was inspired from another member here, just custom installed to suit. Does it look stealth enough? i wanted stealth but alas not quite.

Honestly, I don't like the look of having 2 pipes so visible.

Also GET RID OF THOSE BLOODY PLATES! Where are the slimlines, bloody thing is blocking half the front mount!

I;m with Kieren. Bring back the engine cover, black mesh from SupaDodgy will fill the whole, loose the full size plates, and paint the core black. Then you'd have to know what you are looking for to notice the IC.
