Introduce yourself

Hi fellow Liberty owners,

After a month of browsing and reading and learning I thought I would properly introduce myself.

Recently I got myself a black MY08 2.5i Liberty sedan after a few months of narrowing down my shortlist - Honda Euro Accord, Audi A4 and post-facelift Liberty

I settled on the Liberty as I believe it's a good balance of price and equipment - primarily the Boxer engine, AWD, good looks and Subaru reputation!

I have always upgraded the sound systems on all my previous cars - Civic x2, Astra and Toyota Camry (pls don't laugh, it was after I bought a house a couple of years ago!)

However I am already planning to change all lights (ordered), Corazon Grill (ordered), Rotas (looking) and door speakers (this weekend). Ultimately I would like to also fit Bilsteins and over time completely change the audio with an amp, sub, fascia and new head unit. One thing at a time though!

Anyway I hope to learn a lot, get some advice every once in a while and get to know some of you!

Cheers, Tim

Cheers guys for the warm welcome.

Pity the fascia is so damn expensive for what it is, the stock system is just not cutting it!

Thanks Hamish, I still need to pay you a visit one day especially to get my headlights polished. They are giving me the shits every time I see them!

G'day Tim and welcome.

Good bunch of people on here and the cruises are fun, too.

There is heaps of information on here and there is always someone who has the right answer.

Hope to meet up soon.

cheers,

Dan, they have nothing to compensate for. Taylor is compensating the most, but then again, I do too, 2 turbos and all.....

Thanks guys, been spending a lot of time on these forums reading up and learning as much as I can. Look forward to meeting you guys soon, never been on a cruise before!

Spent this weekend replacing my interior map and dome lights with LEDs, plus my driver's side door trim - much nicer now.

Been meaning to take a pic of my Liberty soon, before I get my Rotas fitted (hopefully this week) so I have a before and after shot.

Might do it tomorrow on my lunch break as there are some good spots in Port Adelaide.
