Hi all,

I'm a first time Subi owner and so far I couldn't be happier. Just bought myself a second hand Silver Liberty 3.0R B-Spec wagon 6MT.

I only picked it up a couple of days ago and I have that awesome feeling that I haven't had about a car in years - I just want to go and sit in it, then drive it, then sit in it, then read the manual, then test out something I just read in the manual, then drive it again.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way but for now, I'll just read a few threads and learn a few things.

Cheers,
Yuley

Welcome and nice ride, there should be a new cruise organised shortly right Ric

Very devastated to see that your previous ride was an HK wagon very much want one myself was is a Kingswood, Prem, Belmont? Sorry getting off topic, I'll pick myself back up off the floor.

You have yourself a very nice car but I agree with the rest of the group, I think you may find the mod bug hit soon Have a squiz in the 3.0R & 3.6R engine specific, How do I? and post your mods sections and you will get plenty of great ideas, or avoid them if you like you wallet full(er)

Welcome mate!

Thanks everyone. It's great to find a forum of like-minded, helpful and friendly people.

I'll have a crack at getting the strips off soon. Thanks heaps for the tips.

PinkK - to be honest, the HK was my favourite car until now. It was just a Kingswood but I had it de-badged and resprayed cobalt blue. Had GTS gaurds and mirrors, a 307 with a bit of work and a few other things going on. It was an awesome cruiser but old cars are money pits and I had to either spend another shedload of money on it or sell it, so off it went.

I should clarify too that it wasn't my most recent ride - that was the Euro. I had the HK about 12 years ago.

I still have a lot of respect for the old skool cars. But in saying that, I prefer to live in the 21st century. The creature comforts are well worth it alone.

I like having one of each.
It makes you appreciate the creature comforts so much more after you've had a fang in the old one!

I agree Ric, if you have the space and can afford both, you get the best of both worlds.
