Hi .. There is not a lot I can do to it without spending lots. I have resigned myself to the fact that I would need to spend $4-5k min to get it going as quick as our other cars. My son just spent over $3.5k on a new LINK ecu and a tune for his Ver 6 Sti. It's got a built 2.5ltr that now makes 204kwatw on 15LB. the lib would need turbo, down pipe , inj, CAI etc etc to get to that but it weighs more so still wouldn't be as nimble. It handles very well with TEIN suspension and new front bushes and it stops well with the rotors and pads that the previous owner fitted all round. I did get a stock subaru AWD badge for the boot to balance the Liberty badge on the RHS but that's about it LOL. I took one of our dogs to the vet.He's a big boy and put 2 of his claws through the front passenger seat so I had to repair that. It's barely noticeable and I don't plan on selling it anytime soon. I don't do many ks in the Subarus. My wife on the other hand does a LOT in her WRX. She'll do 150klm today. I am on the lookout for something to replace her rex. We both love Audis but not a fan of spending big bucks on little things and her rex is quick and she like that so it will be another REX .. I have access to dealer auctions so I'm keeping an eye on them . I see a lot of Audis go through there for peanuts but the dealers just wave them through, same as the BMWs, Mercs etc. I got a nice A2 S ( VW GTi engine) for one of my neighbours, it was a lovely car but it has spent most of it's time off the road because every little thing that goes wrong cost hundreds of dollars and they've got a couple of young children and Arab horses so their already burning money like there is no tomorrow. I did my best to talk them out of it but they had their heart set on an Audi. My wife said she saw a really beautiful pale sky blue Porsche yesterday LOL, my guess is a GT3. I'm glad I choose the cars.. I have friends helping me look for 2nd hand VF52, downpipe etc for the Lib. Maybe one day it will happen.
