So I've had my liberty since around 2011, though have never been able to afford to modify it.
Now that I finally have some income I've been able to spend a little time working on it.

This was it when I first got it

Its had new wheel bearings, window motors, clutch, new hood and roof respray (hail damage) since i've owned it.

Added a genuine STi front lip as well as plasti-dipping the some of the front bumper.


Got a set of Work XSA 18x7.5s on it I ordered from japan and lowering it a bit. I've been looking at putting in some 2005 STi front seats too.


I've just recently got the wheels fitted with Achillies ATR Sports 2s in 205/40/18s and it looks pretty damn nice imo. Just a few more things to do now

Quite a transformation from stock,

Ever thought about changing the burgundy coloured number plate?
Edit: Black fog light covers look nice, thinking about doing mine as well

[Eminense]

I haven't actually, but isn't it like $200 to order the black and white plates? Pretty pricey for minor change.
Would rather put that towards exhaust and seats

Nice car and wheel change. I like it. Well done.

Okay, so time for an update!

Last weekend I managed to get a custom exhaust made up with the help of a friend of mine and his awesome shed

The old exhaust was looking worn out, so we got rid of it.



I purchased (stainless steel) 1.5m straight pipe, 4 30 degree bend pipes, 2 40 degrees a muffler and a resonator as I was after a fairly quiet albeit good quality sound.



We decided it was easier to cut the exhaust off at the flange past the catalytic converters.



From there we put in 2 7 degree cuts into a straight piece to ensure that the new exhaust stayed aligned with where the original was.



The resonator was then placed where that flat muffler thing used to be in the old exhaust.



From the resonator we put in some straight pipe running into 2 of the 30 degree bends which happened to perfectly fit along where we wanted it to go



From there we ran the two 90 degree bends into the back of where the muffler sat. There were 2 30 degree bends left so we cut them up and turned them into some twin pipes out the rear. They're also staggered to make them flow with the shape of the rear bar.

I also managed to find some legacy tuned by STi badges. I have a spare one if someone wants to buy it off me. Can't post it in the for sale section cause i haven't been approved yet. :/
