Been lurking around the forum for a while now, so thought i may as well make one of these. On my second Liberty GT now which im loving, its a 05 manual in black. The guy i bought it off kept it in mint condition except the wheels which where fairly dinged up, but apart from that the body has only a few very minor dings in it and barley any scratches. Service history always done on time and always with subaru. Its been fitted with an OEM sports grill, STI front lip and rear spoiler along with a Hi-tech turbo back exhaust and a whiteline rear sway bar. In the first week i ended up swapping out the wheels and tires completely for a set of ROTA gravels in hyper black on Achillies ATR sports which im quite impressed with for the price. Will be looking at fitting up some coilovers in the near future and a few whiteline bits and pieces for under the car and possibly a bigger turbo etc down the track so im open to suggestions.
Cheers guys.

Welcome mate, nice looking car! I was looking at buying the Achilles ATR Sport but eventually went for Kumho KU31 as they weren't that much more expensive, how do you find the Achilles?

Cheers buddy, haven't really pushed it that hard yet but as for every day driving they seem pretty grippy plus road noise is good. Defiantly exceeded my expectations of a $150 tire.

Finally got a decent camera so gave the car a bit of a clean and tested it out. Should be going to local subaru guru Leigh Hynes on the 02/04 for its 100k service then will be time to get it tuned.

Very nice photo! Paint your brakes yourself and throw on some Subaru decals. Black would look good.
Also is it normal for centre caps to stick out that far on Rota Gravels? never noticed that before.

Cheers guys! Yeah man do agree something needs to be done with the brakes, wouldn't mind a set of brembos later on but can't justify spending 3k on brakes for a pretty stockish car. As for the caps as far as I know they all come with them, well at least the last two sets I bought had the same.

Couldn't tell you that one mate. I do like the look of that forester but, how you finding the VF34? Considering something like that in the next 6 months. So many options though..

Not actually the STI wheels they are rota gravel replicas.
