Hey all!

My names Sam and from canberra (short intro :D )
Recently purchased a Subaru liberty gt spec b 2007 (MY08) and absolutely love it! (via a few setbacks)

As much as i love it, it has been a lemon to me so far
Within 1 month i blew a piston, cause thought to be fuel contamination. Replaced the shortblock with the sti shortblock, and new stock everything except i added the vf52 turbo to it and had it tuned

2 months after the new engine, 3 pistons blew :? found out the 02 sensor messed up the ecu (which also caused the first blow)
Engine was replaced by mechanic with manley racing pistons/rods the works and retuned and so far not another problem!! *crossing fingers*

Cripes! Considered getting to know the car better with a tactrix?
Nice ride, built motor, awesome ;)

Cheers!
I dont know much/anything about tactrix so i haven't really looked into it.

future mods i am looking at doing in the next 6 months include:
Turbo back exhaust,
either pod filter or modified (stock)/ aftermarket airbox
either new top mount or a front mount intercooler,
larger break kit (4piston front minimum),
new suspension

I am currently looking for brands and prices for when the funds are available to be spent :P
so many options and mixed reviews for things i want :/
Anyone have any ideas?
