Pretty much what mine is, except the front and rear seats are also from an STI haha
oh nice, the one i was loking at only had front sti deats. the rear were stock
Bumping up an old thread instead of starting a new one.
I have always been a car nut, although i have only owned one since i got my licence in 2004.
It started its life out as a grandma spec Subaru Liberty 2.2Lt Naturally aspirated AWD sedan, until the motor went pop.
I then completed a conversion using an imported WRX RA halfcut from Japan. Its all been shoe-horned into the liberty shell and is legally registered/engineered.
All work besides exhaust welding has been done in my garage, since converting it a few years ago now i have been modifying it more and more, its now making near 200KW @ all 4 wheels and is stupidly fun to drive. Its on Coilover suspension, has a larger STI turbo on it, STI brakes, body bracing, lightweight flywheel, FMIC, chipped STI RA computer, the list goes on and on, and on and on haha
Its a sleeper of a car, no one expects it to be so quick. Has put shown quite a few SS commodores, WRX’s and Nissan’s what its tail lights look like (all on private roads of course
Hopefully these pics work, if not i will have to update when i get home
Nice! Except for the stance and wheels it’s a def sleeper.
Update on MY68VW - none really. It’s been sitting in the mechanics yard for almost 12 months now, done all of 300km in that time. I think about it everyday and feel so sad to not be wrapped in those wrx seats, low to the ground with that rumble behind me. I owe the mechanic a pov1.5 (which I’m repairing) so have hesitated to get an update from him on the superbox build. Last check in they had the diff ans where ready to but the box together. That was feb.
Will have to wait for me to load photo’s of it rusting.
It’s out of rego, my heart aches like I’ve mistreated my true love.
The coilovers have been wound up and it now has Titanium coloured 2002 WRX 17” wheels. Those pics were taken on the way to a trackday so had semi-slicks on the rear seat and the coilovers slammed right down. Haven’t got a picture of it with the current wheels and ride height. I probably should take some haha
I’d love to turbo charge our naturally aspirated Subie!!!!!
It already has 180kw!!!!!
Although I would no longer posses a licence if I did!!!!!
I would give my left nut to own an R35 GT-R Spec V
And I’d cut ya other one off for a STI Cosworth!!!!!
mmm matte black
I took this the last time I visited.
Apologies to anyone offended by the sticker on the front window.
