New Here

Postby Noodles666 » Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:42 pm

Hi there peeps, New here and new to the Subaru scene,

I'm the proud new owner of a MY08 Spec B H6, Stock as a rock apart from it being lowered by the previous owner. Been into V8's for a long time and finally got rid of it for an AWD and loving it. May have had 500HP at the motor in the old car but i can sure get through the hills alot quicker in the Liberty.

Look forward to chatting to some of you and learning alot

Thanks Grant

Welcome Grant and congratulations on your purchase! Nice pics too.

Just one thing, it appears you have a 3R Premium (like mine) not a 3R Spec B.

Telltale signs are the 'premium' front bumper and the ivory interior.

Mick.

Nice car mate! Looks awesome. I love the cream interior!

Easiest way to check if it's a spec b, does it have bilsteins?
Unless the previous owner put Bilsteins in a 3.0R

It's been lowered Kody :wink:

The front bar and interior tells me it's not a Spec.B also, but I am no expert

yeah unfortunately it came lowered so its running red springs which tells me its pedders, so im baffled, i tried plugging the VIN number into a few online check sites and it always comes back in an error, saying my vin is invalid so im even more stumped, it was previously owned by a catholic priest in NSW lol

Definitely a 'premium', trust me! I bought the same model about 7 months ago. Spec Bs all have black interior. Personally I prefer the ivory.

It's been a long week :oops:

However, wouldn't the shockies be either Bilstein or KYB?
I'm sure one guy on here has a White Spec B with an ivory interior...
