Plug and play for gen 3 liberty

Postby Bcgrech » Tue Jan 20, 2015 9:33 pm

Hey guys,

I really need some help with my gen 3 wagon
I'm doing it up but I can't seem to find after market parts for it anyware.
Im looking at the moment for a pillar gauge pod that will fit my car.
I know there are plenty that will fit wrx's but none that will fit mine.
Does anyone know if a wrx pillar gauge pod will fit mine? And if so what year wrx and where do I get them?

Would really appreciate some help.
Thanks guys
Beau.

there aren't many aftermarket parts for gen3's that post date 2003.
you won't find a pod gauge to suit perfectly, however how different could a wrx A pillar be?

also whilst looking for gen3 shit online, go to Yahoo Auctions japan via Import Monster and use the secret words BE5 and or BH5 instead of "subaru blah blah". you'll get more results.

Alright thanks for that

It's not turbo yet but I have the turbo and everything ready to install
I just want to get everything else done on it before I turbo it.
I want to get a spot on my pillar for the boost gauge and everything so it doesn't look really tacky.
I know a lot of people think gauges look tacky anyway but I suppose it's all personal preference.
I like them :) if I'm unable to find a gauge pod that fits, does anyone know how to make them?

And will sti engine parts fit also?

yeah i like gauges myself.

do me a favour and talk to someone who regularly does engine swaps. i have a feeling bolting on a turbo to a n/a 2.5 ej is not going to go so well. you can call up Ichiban Imports in Sydney, between Ben and Scott that have done more wrx/sti swaps than subaru have built cars. theres a reason why people just straight swap a wrx or B4 motor straight in.

Agreed.

Will most likely end in expensive tears.


@OP,
You may wish to take a look over at SubyClub.com as this very topic has been covered extensively.
