hey guys, my names Robert, im 21 and im new to this forum and hope to meet some of you guys and learn some new things.

i recently sold my skyline R32 sedan and now in the search for a liberty premium GT.

hope to come to some meets (if there are any)

so before i buy a liberty, what are the general or most common issues with them?
(liberty premium GT 2004 auto or manual) ive done some research and am aware that there is a little more power/torque to the manual version but that doesnt concern me much.

thanks guys!

If you're planning to mod. stay away from Fairfield East. You'll go broke.

set of coil overs for a nice ride height
set 18xf8/r9 with decent offset i want a little poke. not too much :)

Welcome aboard mate.

Yeah you got the car for a steal.
Like Arith said, post up some pictures once you've got some so we can ogle your ride. :D
Nice previous rides as well, but good to see you woke up and came over to Subaru family. You'll never look back. :twisted:

ive always wanted a subaru my all time favorite was the GC8 wrx sti. i chose the liberty mainly cause of cost of insurance.

so ive picked up the liberty! im loving it!

compared to my skyline, its alot more stable and doesnt bounce on every little bump (but this might change once i get coils?) in terms of power it picks up speed super fast but i cant feel the pull i did in my skyline. the liberty tends to stick to the road more where as my skyline would just slide every where (on rainy days).

ill post pictures once i get the time to take them! but for now.
