My old 07 Liberty + My new 06 STI. page 2.

[STI-47W]

hey guys, my name is Marco and im 20 years old from Homebush.
ive wanted a liberty for as long as i can remeber and this year after working my ass off at the casino i finally gathered some coin and bought one!

its fairly standard, other than little things i have done to it myself...

Modifications:

Painted Calipers
6000K Phillips bulbs
K&N Pannel Air filter
Ultrex eyelids --removed!
Ultrex Rear Diffuser
Ultrex Heavy Duty Strut Bar
20" Kspeed Biaggi Black.

i have a ULTREX front lip at home but its been a pain to install.

Future Plans:
Coilovers!
foglights
sound system
sell it for a GT


let me know what you guys think!

Welcome aboard Marco! Nice car mate.

Very interested to see it progress, especially if you follow through with the Turbo kit option.
There is a bit of info & links on here about the AVO kit available soon in the states, a few of us N/A boys are watching this closely.

Have fun mate.

[STI-47W]

hahaha i cant wait for the turbo upgrade!

im just trying to save up for some coilovers first. i want my car to be low, but still be as comfortable as it is now

Welcome to the forum and nice list of mods you already have and plan to get. I would recommend just getting the GT as it's just more practical and less costly to maintain/repair. You'll have a difficult time selling a turbo kitted N/A since the engine wasn't designed for it and it would have been through a lot of stress. Not to mention you would get very little return. Unless of course you're planning to keep the vehicle for a long time. Otherwise don't bother with the hassle and just get a GT.

Welcome, totally agree with Arith.
If you put a turbo on that thing your resale value will be shot to shit, not to mention the high cost of getting it all done, then you have to hope nothing goes wrong...not worth it.

[STI-47W]

yeah i deffinatly want to keep it for a while. its too awesome to get rid of hahah. But the liberty STI is just too tempting

Heard too many stories of turbos going in N/A cars and being nothing but trouble. Job was done cheap and not right. Can cost a lot to get done properly, and by that stage u may as well just buy a gt...

I agree with the others, a turbo kit on an NA is a bad idea.
Me and a mate turboed his NA R33.
A few weeks later.....................kabom

Just buy a GT as that engine wil be able to take the extra stress that a turbo creates.

Reminds me of these a little.
Are you getting 17's though, might look too small.

[STI-47W]

yeah i does look like that hey.
your right, 17s are tiny on the liberty, i would love 18's but im struggling to find them. if i cant find them, i may have to think about 19's /

[STI-47W]

i actually bought those rims of joel hahaha

[STI-47W]

installed my strut bar from ULTREX today... tried to put the front lip on but it didnt work.. need to figure out how im going to get it on properly...has anyone put a ultrex front lip on?

planning on getting Coilovers very soon.
then new foglights, dome and map lights
sound system

possibly re triming the interior in red leather... but i want everything finished in time for cruise 4 kids. so ill see how i go!

[MA44AL]

hey dude,
if your having problems with the front lip come past.. Ive put a few on mine cause i keep snapping them.. lol Only live in strathfield as well

[STI-47W]

ive been so busy with work i havnt even had a chance to try it again... rob from ultrex said to leave it in the sun so its gets a bit more flexable, so ill give it a go.
i just want this mofo lowered already
