Hey Subyclub, wassup?
Here's my Liberty. (My 3rd car and I'm not even 17 yet... but that's besides the point.) I had a KE30 Corolla and TG Gemini - both really damn slow 800kg rwd boxes of low hp's.
... Anyway.
GEN 3 RX Liberty! Manual, sh*t loads of K's and random ignition of the Check engine light that lasts a maximum of 30 seconds! What more could you ask for!
Pros and cons!
Pros: Really, really comfy and nice to drive. Compared to a Gemini it is really, really fast.
Cons: Dents, rear bumper has been hit and we discovered that the right side of the car is now shorter than the left... Rear passenger door doesn't shut properly - the only fault brought up by this. There's a noise that comes from the front of the car somewhere when I accelerate. Not sure if it's diff or gearbox or else. Taking it to a mechanic for a service and to have a look at it. The check engine light randomly comes on. 90% of the time comes on when driving up hill and usually lasts from 5-30 seconds. A noise comes from the rear diff area when it's idling or low in revs, I'm thinking something is loose? Doesn't happen when going faster.
Phew.
Overall, the body is rough but the rest is good. Since the above photo I have put material tape over the hole in the back and painted over it, looks 100x better. Will get a photo soon.
Future mods are as follows:
- 18 inch wheels. Not sure what kind yet.
(Are they 5x100??? Can't find any solid evidence!)Yes they are. - Paint correction
- Coilovers
- (If its worth it) Heritage seats.
- Good stereo. In the meantime I have my trusty FM transmitting iphone attachment.
- New bumper and front guards.
- (maybe) respray
- (dreaming) JDM Ej20 twin turbo
Going for my P's on August 30... can't wait! Living on the east coast of Tassie is the best place for a P plater.
Thanks for reading! I'll be sure to keep this updated.
Edit: 5x100 is a yes
