Hi all

 

This is my 2002 GEN3 Liberty RX Special Edition:

 

 

I purchased it earlier this year from another member. You can see their build thread here:  http://www.subyclub....cks-gen3-02-rx/

I thought I'd do a build thread myself as I love seeing what everyone else does to their cars and I wanted to share what I've done to mine. I'll update this thread when I work on the car and hopefully it'll be up to standard with everyone else's.

Didnt know it had so much stuff already done.

"WRX STi Brake Booster & Master Cylinder"

Pretty sure that could actually be smaller/a downgrade as it has to clear the extra turbo bits

I'm not too sure. I though it would be bigger/better as they came with 4/2 Pots/Brembos. I'll have to look into it when the time comes.

The standard cylinder is fine. Im running 4/2 with my original one and the pedal feel is really nice

Too easy. Saves me money for other mods then!

I saw that thread. I've bought stuff from him before but I can get those same seats for $200.

 

Thanks anyway

I recently purchased a JDM Black Faced Meter Cluster from a Revision D Legacy GT-B. I was planning on getting Nick (Barbbachello) to make me up a wiring harness but I was too impatient and decided to re-pin my current wiring plugs to enable to JDM Cluster to work in my car. After a few days of messing around with it and some help from Nick, I managed to get it all working.

 

Dat JDM goodness, yo!

 

 

I added some blue LED's in the rings to match my head unit and I've got some blue LED's on the way for all the other lights in the car too. As some of the wires on the diagram I used were different to the AUDM models, I decided to make up a spreadsheet with the correct wires for anyone else doing the conversion.

 

 

I'll update with more pics once I do the rest of the interior lights. Thanks to Nick for the help!

 

Cheers,

Jay

Looking good 

[Jizanthapus]

Hi Jay.

 

 

Looking good mate. Good to see you on here.

 

Cheers, Boss!

Ah, so jacks old car. I actually like how it looks now better.

[Liberty]

I am really digging the look. And those rims seem to be growing on a lot of people. Lookin' good man.

Yeah, I bought it from Jack. Glad to hear I'm heading in the right direction haha

Cheers, Gaz. I'm really happy with how they look and they fill the guards nicely. It was either these or STi Enkei's but everyone kept backing out of the sale whenever I went to buy them. I found these for a great price with good tyres too so it was the obvious choice.

[Liberty]

They're both great rim choices man. I recently managed to buy a set of 18" STi rims from a Gen IV. They're in Perth, will be sent to Melbourne to be refurbished and resprayed and then they'll be making their way up to me. I can't wait to see them on my car!

 

What are you aiming to get ticked off your to-do list first?

The Enkei's will look sweet on your car!

 

The first thing on my list is lowering the car. I've been playing around with it in Photoshop and it looks so much better lowered. I'm trying to find a cheap set of coilovers but otherwise I'll just have to go with springs.

 

 

I know it's not that low in the pic but I'd rather keep it at a somewhat practical height while still having it lowered.

 

After I lower it, I'll probably go with brake upgrades and some WRX seats and possibly tint just in time for summer.

Just a question.. doesn't the B4 and standard libs share the same brakes anyway?

The B4 brakes have larger diameter rotors on both the front and the rear.

and are vented rears
