Liberty owner SA
Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 8:16 pmGday guys/girls my name is Chris, from Adelaide SA and I currently own a dark blue 1998 Subaru Liberty RX Bilstein edition. Im a new/old member I joined ages ago but didnt really post because I didnt know If I was going to keep the car, but now I am so here is the story
When I got this the car I was young and well stupid, so many things were wrong with her, power windows a bit dodge, power steering, gear box, clutch, tires, interior, seatbelt, suspension and sound system was non existent. But I did had a sigma before this so when I first took this thing out for a test drive It felt luxurious in comparison but hell anything would after my old sigma.
I've had the liberty for over a year and a half and slowly its come together, just got a major service due soon, think its time for the timing belt to be replaced its only done 148,000ks for a 98 its pretty good. But pretty much fixed almost everything, except for a little section at the back interior, direct sunlight + leather seats + the former owner neglecting it resulted in back left head rest splitting.
Other than the bad stuff it now has a new alarm and new sound system, just recently purchased new 17inch ROH black Mags, makes it look meaner than the stock 14inch white bilstein rims (see picture), a 2.5 inch exhaust with a stock liberty muffler on it, which I will be changing soon because it pushes most of the noise into the back cabin. And I'm getting 4 doors, bonnet, front and rear bumpers, boot and a new grille same year, same model as mine dropped off tomorrow, replacing the driver door on mine because the power windows are a bit worse for wear and also the grille swapping the old one with a new one, and getting rid of that pink knock off sti sticker lol
Here are some pics more to come soon,
