Hey everyone
Purchased a gen4 liberty gt sedan with leather, sunroof and mcintosh stacker head unit for my wife
Been a long time Mazda enthusiast and this is our first subaru, as we could not find the right Mazda 6 MPS to buy, I suggested looking at the liberty's and ended up buying one.
We purchased the vehicle from BlackGT that's been on the forums for years and happy with our purchase.
Name: Peter
Ride: Mazda 323 SP20 turbocharged. The wife's car is the liberty.
Location: Blacktown NSW
Exisiting mods:
- custom ecutek tune by MRT
- 18" wheels
- Heavy duty clutch kit
- whiteline sway bars front and rear
- whiteline bump steer kit (extended height lower ball joint and extended height tie rod ends)
Recent mods:
- Koni Sport externally adjustable shock absorber conversion into original OEM front strut and rears come out of the box ready to install.
- King Springs Low with 40mm drop with hub to guard measurement of approximately 350mm front and rear.
- Genuine tuned by STi 18" enkei wheels with Dunlop SP Maxx Tyres
- Genuine tuned by STi sedan rear mufflers (STi quads)
- Genuine tuned by STi strut brace
- Genuine tuned by STi 183/300 tag located near gear stick
- Genuine tuned by STi floor pedals
- Genuine tuned by STi rear boot decal
- Turbosmart Dual Port BOV
Apart from the lack of 6 speed box and tuned by sti boot spoiler and front lip, its very close to be a fake genuine tuned by sti. I would of gone with the STi springs, but they were not low enough for our liking.
I have preferred Koni over Bilstein in a lot of cars that I have owned over the years and give Koni first choice.
Plans: (modifications planned for the next 6 - 12 months)
- Genuine tuned by STi front lip
- Having the STi wheels professional cleaned up and repainted.
- installing Hardrace rear adjustable suspension arms (toe / camber / track) with harden rubber bushes not pillow ball.
- rebush the front lower control arms with Hardrace harden rubber bushing and not polyurethane when the stock caster bush starts tearing and clean up the arms and paint them.
- look into having the ability to edit the current MRT tune. Just too much timing around idle and in 4th gear on very light acceleration with minimum load around the VE maximum efficiency area of the ignition map that I would like to retard slightly to remove the jerkiness, and requiring less throttle and less riding the clutch when taking off.
