hello from newcastle

[redline]

Hello guys been reading.through the foruns for.a.week or so now and i am lookin in to buying a gt spec b as i am able to go for my full licence and want turbo power. ive driven performance cars since i started driving (had a rx8 now currently own a s2000) and was wondering is the performance of these cars in terms of power and handling really that far behind wrx sti, mazda6 mps, or evo9 (other cars im lookin at) and the potential to modify them harder as particuly the evo and.sti or am i am able to see sam sort of potential out of the lib. love the refinement and luxury features they have over the more boy racer looking evo and sti thanks guys any comments appriciated

Welcome. yes please get one, we need more GT's in newcastle as im still yet to see someone with an asn sticker.

The libs might feel a bit 'big' compared to an s2k or an rx8 if thats what you are used to. However they are quick and they are comfortable. And in the case its not as quick or swift as you would like... you could fall victim to the mod bug like everyone else on here.

Where in newcastle are you from out of interest?

Hey buddy thanks for.reply yer i will be modding it bug bit me before i had a car lol. Tryna work out if the luxury features they have out wiegh the lack of performance they may have Compared to the other cars im looking at buyin but im pretty keen on it or evo main to cars jus depends on price n quility of the car wen i finally decide to buy. im from speers point/warners bay area mate

Welcome.

Theres not much you cant do to these that you can do to a WRX or STi.

The bonus is you get a far more luxurious car, less unwanted attention and no "boy racer" tag.

[cliffo3rb]

Welcome mate.

I think you should upgrade to the GT I was in Newy a few weeks ago and saw a light blue s2000 with tan interior,was that you?

[stew07gt]

ahh ok, yeah, i wouldnt say theres a lack of performance. depends what your comparing it to i suppose and i havent driven and s2k or an rx8... but turbos are a different beast.

Im from up maitland way but im usually in newy anyway.

Nah i own a black one dropped on big rims lol havent been bothered to change them. Yer been in few turbo cars including sti and evo 7 and driven a mates s15 with gt28 turbo and agree the turbo just pushes you through the sit aha. Thats what i thought both ejs so same power potential as.sti but wouldnt it be pricier as libs are less modded and less aftermaket support

[cruisn]

but wouldnt it be pricier as libs are less modded and less aftermaket support

Theres huge aftermarket support for the Liberty's and also "less modded"? Hardly

Maybe less riced up.

I knew I have seen your car many times especially on the way to Morpeth and Maito train station round about lol, your car has a nice sound to it :O)
I'm also from Maitland area, and i do have a asn sticker on my rear window, but its grey just like my car so you can't really see it.

[Percy]

You won't miss me then, my car is always parked on the front lawn on morpeth road, living back with parents while I build my new place at Chisholm.
If i see ya around again i'll give you a wave

[stew07gt]

down near the school?

Did someone there used to own a black 06ish sti liberty?... if so it was that car that made me want to get one in the first place lol

*yep just saw the asn sticker in the middle of your rear window... that grey on grey makes spotting difficult i must say*

[Percy]

yeh man thats my car with the sticker. the black sti you saw was prob my bro inlaws gt. you will know him on this forum as tony (badGT)
lives in Qld, its a very nice car.
Well man if i see you around ill give you a wave, and if your around morpeth road alot i'm sure ill see ya.
