So I've had 3 Liberties before this (All auto, which sucks cause all my other cars have been manuals but i'd just never stumbled across a manual liberty when i was buying, Until now)

I'm excited to have my first Manual Liberty and they really should be driven no other way :p
I wish it were awd (but at least I save a little on petrol)

I picked it up for what I believe is a bargain, but i AM expecting some repairs.

I'm looking forward to getting a little hands on with this one.

Anyway! Hello all!

Sim

I'd help to give your car a name, but you haven't posted any photos.
Nonetheless welcome Sim! :D I'm sure you will enjoy your new wheels and will get plenty of ideas here if wish to be hands on with it.

My first car was a first gen Legacy, great great car. I drove it for a year with rooted CV's cause I could in afford new ones. Sounded like I was driving over sticks every time I turned a corner. Had selectable 4WD, great for paddock bashing! 8)

Welcome, you'll love the car.

Any plans for it?

Thanks for the welcome.

This is my 4th Liberty:
    - Liberty GX AWD Auto
    - Liberty LX FWD Auto
    - Liberty LX FWD Auto
    - Liberty GX FWD Manual

Plans:

I want to keep it clean and neat, classic.

The rims came with the car, so I might change them to something a little less flashy. I'm also considering downsizing to 16". it may just be me or my car, but it doesn't seem to gaim much positives from the 17"s

I'd like to get the car detailed and back to being shiny. Same colour if I have to respray some panels.

Engine: Pod Filter, upgrade the spark plugs, taking suggestions for any adjustments I can make without getting too overboard.

Brakes: pads and discs

Suspension... Well I'd like to get something slightly less... rolly... :p

Stereo: I want to upgrade the current speakers but slot them in the same hole. So it doesn't look like I've added anything.

Possibly a darker tint.

After that.. I'll sell it and get an RX. :p
