First Subaru!

Hi all, name is Tim as seen above.

Bought my first Subaru this week. I've always had rwd cars, starting with Falcons from the late 90's into the mid 2000's then Moved onto 2 Silvias and 4 skylines (sucker for punishment, I know).

Anyway, I needed something a bit more practical while still retaining some potential for fun/excitement, once bitten by the modification bug, there's no out. The Liberty GT spec B fit the bill perfectly.
Couldn't buy a Subaru with a 5spd manual, seen too many broken, so the fact that the GTB came with the 6spd sealed the deal for me.

Welcome, The 04-06 5 speed is not the shitty 5 speed in the earlier cars, and is fine unless you are running high power AND you punish it - That said, the 6 speed in the post-face is better in every way. I put one in my MY05 and I love it :)
