Hey guys,

Had this for over a year now, and have done a bucket load to it since. Since my ownership The car has had the whole Engine and driveline removed, rebuilt and replaced with Better/newer parts. I have trialed a few different setups in search to build the best Liberty street car around. Something that can hold its own at the strip, around the track and still hold 5 people and be my daily driver which can be taken on holidays and trips with the A/C and DVD pumping. Its had a few different Engines in its life before me. built 2.2, 2.35 and now the Big cube 2.5 that i built.

In my past 1 year of ownership it has had many Drivelines such as 4.11 PAR Straightcut, 4.44 PPG Straight cut and now a DCCD 6 speed with plated diffs. unequal and equal length extractors, Different up pipes and dump pipes, Brembo Brakes all round and suspension modifications and its still going.

I have been inspired from many cars with my involvement in Gravel and now tarmac Rallying. Im getting ideas and information to build one of the Best B4 Libertys in Australia

Current max power output is 302.2KWs on 23PSI on 98 RON pump fuel
