G'day Blokes (and girls if there are any),
My name's Jon, Im 21 and live on the Sunshine Coast of QLD and I fairly recently picked up this fairly modified '06 2.0 tbSTI Liberty and I can honestly say, I love this car.
I previously owned a 2007 WRX STI with a huge 'handle' on the back and badges and a stigma that said to everyone ''I'm a redneck try race me'' Nah it actually wasn't that bad and I loved the car to death but had to sell it to put a ring on the wife . I loved the subaru and I literally couldnt stay away so i bought the Liberty. The Liberty is ALMOST all that performance and so much more, its a bit of a sleeper, that's why I love it.
As yet I don't have any huge plans for the car, Ill be needing new tyres soon (suggestions?), I've had replaced every suspension bush under the car within reason with super pro bushes, I plan on having the front bumper resprayed as it has a few tiny chips. I would like to at some stage run coil overs on this car as i did on my WRX to wrangle a little more 'low' out of it but its not high on the agenda. I also own a Toyota Landcruiser that for the past 2 years has sucked every last cent of my funds into modifying and that project is drawing to an end so who knows whats in store for the Lib
About the car:
Obviously its got all the STI bits; lip, spoiler, wheels, springs, mcintosh sound etc etc
Custom gear, its pretty standard
-Dark Tinting (from all of my reading on the forum seems would make a lot of you guys happy )
-Full 3inch turbo-back HiTech exhaust system with original STI tips
-Injectors
XC kit from MRT which for those of you that don't know (I'm sure most, if not all of you do) includes:
-EcuTeK MRT ECU software upgrade
-MRT Top Mounted Intercooler
-MRT Cold Air Intake
-VF52 Turbo
-500hp Fuel pump
As a result of all this, the car has been dyno'd to 207kw at the rubber so it provides plenty of smiles
A few pics of the car when I bought it, I don't have any of my own because when I bought it I drove it home then left for work 3 days later and haven't been home since for any decent length of time...enjoy (and sorry for typing so much)
Thanks for reading, all comments and criticism welcome
