Shiv's Liberty RX 2.5L

Shiv's Photo Shiv 02 Jul 2009

I like the last pic, 32 degree's with A/C on :huh: lol, looks very clean!

LOL

That was a cold night I was out there toughing it and taking pictures before leaving for work or something. I like it warm and toasty in there :lol:

haha, but having A/C on is doing the opposite of heating, the A/C trys to make it colder

Yeah my mistake, I got told that last night as well by a fellow member (Aaron) at the monthly meet. Usually I have it in Auto anyway, and it takes care of it for me.

I thought AC just reduced the water in the air? Ie. window fogs up so you put AC on regardless of temp and it will dry the air out, and condensation will go away. Dry heat with AC on, risk of a more humid atmosphere in the car with it off. Am I wrong?

Sounds right, waste of power if your using it on your face though not that it makes a difference now, did with the Rx though

Is the Legacy garnish supposed to be a little short on the reverse light end? Did you retrofit the 'fairy lights' into the headlights?

Thats because the Legacy boot is different and the metal part extends a bit more

Nah, they're in the panel gap between the headlights and the bumper.

Despite the garnish not being a perfect fit on an AUDM boot lid, I wouldn't get the JDM boot lid because:
a.) The cost of buying one and painting it metallic blue isn't going to be cheap
b.) My rego plate would have to be bent to fit
c.) I genuinely prefer the AUDM boot lid + I don't think that little gap where the old garnish was is too bad....

Ahh, I see. I was thinking of doing that above the headlights but i'm not sure if that'd look good...

Yeah, I would've done the same thing to avoid the mass cost. TBH, I really only wanted a Legacy garnish because it's tinted. I don't think i'd put one on though because of the fitment and 'SUBARU' keeps people guessing what car it is :P

If a V3 STi brace fits my car, I'll take it ;)


I polished my car last week. Then I went out with my new camera and shiny car. These are the results:

looking orright. BUT when you're detailing your car, you need to wash and shine inside the wheel arches.
