Newbie [Liberty GT Spec B 4TH GEN to be..]

[johnnieboi25]

Hi guys,

Name is Johnnie from Melb, VIC.
Just joined this forum as i will be looking at getting a 4th Gen Liberty GT Spec B 07-09. This will be my first Subaru and my first forced inducted car. I really like this gen of the Liberty, balance of luxury and performance. Actually spotted a black and silver one in my area driving together not long ago. Been a Toyota owner for the last 7years, current ride is Corolla Levin ZR 08'. Time for an upgrade. Looking forward to learning a lot and meeting some good folks sharing the passion.

Hoping to pick one up in the short coming months. Was wondering if there was anything i should be looking out for? Any extra wear and tear issues other than the norm? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hoping to return with some good news soon

Make sure you don't make the mistake and buy a sedan. You'll regret it

Welcome No you won't... Unless you want to sleep in your car, put a bike in it, put large objects in it or put roof racks on it. All of which I'd like to do

Still got my heart set on a sedan. Im not a fan of the shape of the wagon (sorry wagon peeps). I couldnt find 'Coyotes' ride?
Like to buy a stock one, clean slate to start with. Looking at a few atm.
Looking at around mid 20K mark with 60-70xxxkms on the clock. Manual of course.
So anything i should be checking out when inspecting?

You should be looking at Coyotes car. It is in the for sale section.

Edit: I did read the bit about not wanting a wagon, but you are wrong, you don't know what you want.

You're better off with a sedan. All us cool cats drive sedans.

If you still want to see what his wagon looks like, page 2 I think...

+1 for sedans XD

I checked out Coyotes wagon. Looks like a great ride but unfortunately for me a wagon would be wasted space for me to buy and not make good use of. Looks like a lot of effort was put into that car. Theres so many wagon lovers. Lol
Theres just something about the sedan shape that i find so appealing.
Would of loved to have found a decent Tuned by STi Liberty but theres none that matches my criteria for the right price and is well taken care of.

Hey guys,
Just a question regarding wheels im looking at for the future Gen4. Im looking at getting a set of wheels (wont say what yet) 18x8 +35 running 225/40/18 tyres. Will this offset scrub and require guard rolling? Offset choice is either +45 or +35.

Get the +35's.

You won't require guard rolling with a 225/40.

My +35's scrub with 225's, at standard height.

Aren't your wheels 8.5 inch wide?

[rooby]

If it were me I would get 18x8 +45.
I would say +35 will scrub.

Although it depends on ride height. At stock height the +35 might be ok.

Mine scrubbed at 7.5 +45, although I have 235 tyres and it's really low, which accounts for the scrubbing.
I figure I can go about 10mm more if I want but might have to slightly raise it.
Plus my yards are rolled and pulled.

A number of guys are running less low with 8.5 +44 or +45 and it looks good, although needs guard rolling.

I'm on the lookout for 7.5 +35-40, 8 +40-45 or maybe 8.5 +45-50.

[johnnieboi25]

Thanks for the replies guys.
I think i'll be going for the 18x8 +45 and if guard work has to be done in future then so be it.
Will be inspecting 2-3 potential Libs next weeked, hopefully can score a deal.
