Hotwire - MY04 GT Wagon Auto

Just thought I should say hi.

Last week I took ownership of my new car:
2004 Liberty GT Wagon Premium
5sp Auto
Black Leather & all the usual standard features.
66,000km
Car has had 1 previous owner (trade in vehicle)
Subaru Service history

Overall very happy with the car! Lag is a little worse than i'm used to (doesnt seem to come on song till 3500 rpm+) so takeoff from the lights can be a little slow, BUT I still love it.

Here are some shots from the dealer (yet to get my own decent shots)

Congrats mate! I've aways liked that color in that model for some reason... dunno why, I just think it looks good!

Welcome to Team Wagon also - you'll work that out as you get into the forums!

Thanks all,

Planned mods are simple:
20% tint all round
18x8 wheels (yet to decide style)
and whatever mod is required to create more boost down low!

The lag is annoying the hell out of me. Will a tune or exhaust fix this?

welcome hotwire. You've got an auto. The best thing to get around lag off the line. Just stall it up :good: :lol:

Nice colour that one :D

How high can you stall them? i.e. what rpm does the factory converter take up at?
