Introduce yourself

Smithyy's GT

Postby Smithyy » Mon Dec 19, 2011 7:08 pm

Hey everyone, been browsing this forum for a bit, thought it's time i should officially introduce myself. Here goes, Im Michael, 19 from Meadow Springs(just north of mandurah), Im an apprentice heavy duty diesel mechanic, and most importantly, just bought my first Liberty!! 2007 GT sedan Spec-B :D

She is stock at the moment as ive only had her for around a month, already have many plans!

Ill run through a few so you can all have a read and give thoughts/opinions and advice :)

For handling im looking at some Titanium front and rear STI strut bars, stronger sway bars and either BC or STD. adjustable coilovers (hopefully will improve on road handling/cornering dramatically!!).

Performance im rather happy with at the moment although im looking at improving the basics of the engine, more air in, more air our = faster 8). So im hoping to get a better intake, bigger inter cooler, bigger (STI WRX) turbocharger, and of course a 3" twin stainless system with twin tips either side!!

Cosmetics is also very important for me, I love a car with great stance and head turning ability, so to begin with I would like to get custom white on black number plates, front lip, from ULTREX, rear diffuser also from ULTREX and a 'honeycomb pattern' grill. Also lowering the car with the coilovers is the best option as well. Looking at upgrading the sound system if possible too, not the speakers, just the amplifier and maybe subwoofer. Rims are not at the top of my list at the moment, to be honest i love the look of the 18" Spec B, so ill stick with them.....for now :p

Anyways here are a few pics of the Liberty,

Hey Kenny, what are you doing handling wise?

I have the tbSTi so it has the suspension and strut brace done already. I'll be looking at an anti lift kit and maybe a rear sway bar. BTW nice lookin plates!
