Gen V 3.6R Owner

Hi All,

Well, I'll start with what people call me. I get called all manner of names including, Choke, Chook, Artichoke, Machoke and even Choddo Baggins (think Froddo Baggins), but my real name is Luke. I play tennis, mixed netball and gym most nights, but I also play way too many video games. Everything in moderation right?

I have a stock standard dark blue gen v liberty which I got late last year.
I am a recently graduated materials engineer from Melbourne.

As I said, my baby is completely standard. I will be looking to start lightly modding my car in the near future but as my first ride was a very manly 2001 Barina (cough) I have no idea where to start. Take this as an open invitation to give me some advice and to point me in the right direction.

^^^ what he said :)

Also consider
* a new front grille to dial down the amount of chrome up front, and if your up for it, paint the inside of your headlights (or get GT headlights with the darker highlights)
* swaybars

Good luck! (and welcome)

Tune definitely wakes them up... some moron in Japan decided that 30% throttle until 3600rpm was a good idea :roll:

Hi All,

Thank you kindly for the warm welcome.
Can anyone recommend how to go about getting a new exhaust fitted and which one will suit my car and roughly what I should expect to pay?
