Thanks Shiv! Unfortunately we lost which means we're not in the grand final (that was the semis). I also badly twisted my leg & my knee cap popped out/back in again so im limping everywhere.
In regards to Outback mods, OP, i like what youve done so far, what you have in mind, and the attitude you have towards your car. Making it look awesome is about as good as we can get! Have a look at my thread
here. Was on my P's when i bought it but have since got my full licence and contemplated buying a turbo but money is due in other places at the moment!
I have/had very similar ideas to you in regards to mods. I have put the Gen4 chrome badging on, different wheels (Gen4 series2 GT), headlights (4300k HIDs), gearknob (from a gen4/WRX) etc. Ive also got clear side indicators (off ebay) which clean up the side look heaps and a few other things but you can read my thread for all the details. My wedding is in 10 weeks so money is going towards that but after thats all happened ill be getting a double din HU (Pioneer AVH-P3250BT from www.ryda.com) + awesome speakers, tinted windows and a 22mm swaybar + endlinks, etc. Im sure once ive done all this there will be more things on the list but so far thats it.
I have already tried to go the cheap way and get a Chinese DVD HU (Eonon D2208) but it went horribly wrong. IMO, spend the money and get a decent one. The one im looking at is currently $750 and thats still a very low price for a 2din unit. Depends on what features you're wanting in it. Shiv has recently put an awesome unit it his OBK H6 with a TV & rear parking camera etc.
I have also put a gen3 sedan grille on to spice up the front end a bit. I reckon it looks alright even though its a bit slimmer than the OBK one.
Aaaand lowering it! I'd love to. Lowered OBKs are just so sexy as you can see from what Nik has to offer. 'Bobbyjimmy' (Luke) has slammed his 02 OBK and it looks awesome. There are some sort of raisers which give it a lift over the Liberty's but to get it to Liberty height, you need to remove/replace the x member or something...i dont get it all! One day ill take it down to Pedders and get a proper quote. Only thing im worried about it resale value. Most OBK drivers are ancient and wont want to buy one that lowered. Once again, after the wedding!
My only word of advice; coilovers, lowered springs/struts are the way to go - steer clear of bags!
Question for you - where do you live (Tom will thank me later!) Nah, i see you have NSW plates on. We have a monthly meet at Hooters Parramatta if you're a Sydney sider. Im on the Central Coast and sometimes get a crew together to make the trip down.
