Thought it was about time I introduced myself on this forum seems I went to the Subyclub Hooters meet last night (Grant, I came in Mark's bugeye)

This is my RS liberty turbo, I picked it up from another enthusiast in Sydney a bit over a year ago, it's in awesome condition for it's age and had a few mods done.

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller
K&N panel filter
Bosch coil packs
3" turbo-back hi-tech exhaust

Sti front lip
Custom grill made by me

Interior:
GC8 seats, front and rear

Haha cheers
It's a bit thirsty for fuel with the RA ecu, so I scabbed a lift instead haha...I regretted not bringing it though! It'll be making the journey with me next time for sure

[aekOne]

Welcome Grant, Good to meet you last night! I agree with Dylan, why didn't you bring that down last night?!?!?

[johnb4]

welcome grant. wicked ride

[CRUISN]

That is impressively tidy. Very nice.

To be honest though, I prefer the look of the first wheels.

[RX25SE]

Very nice indeed.

Nice to see some of the earlier versions, especially something that tidy.


Enjoy SC mate.

[Grant]

Is that because they look kind of similar to your beloved CS-9's Cruisn
Honestly I just got over the old wheels...was just up for a change, they look kinda poo in that photo so I'll post up some better ones in the future.

Picked up a fmic and piping for a bargain today so watch this space!

Nah, I just like the style and contrast against the white.

Everyones got black wheels nowdays.

Ahhh touche, it's better than the chrome they used to be though

Well, after 13 hours of work with some mates, alot of angle grinding, dremeling, some kebabs and some swearing, we finally got the front mount in
I took some photos of the effort, but my phone ran out of battery so I missed a few steps in the photographical journey, i.e. the raping of the front bar and support.
Here we go...
From the start, WAIC still in.


A bit of test fitting.


Mark getting his angle grinder on underneath the headlights.


The scene in the garage+ me getting my dremel on


Finished product underneath headlights.


More fitting up with piping.


Done and dusted! Stealth ftmfw :cool:




Dirty engine bay, charcoal canister still to find a home lol.


Cheers, Grant

Thanks Tom

I'll be getting the piping powdercoated soon too, and an airbox made up so it'll be even more subtle

[Hypnotic]

Car looks awesome, nice job on the front mount.

[Morgan]

Very nice mate!

[Dylan]

Looks really good mate! Top effort on the DIY! I am looking to get my FMIC in on my gen2 soon, just got to get some piping changed so I can get past the dredded ABS!

[Grant]

Did you paint the FMIC or get it powder coated?

Nice front lip also.

Jesse

Thanks everyone! Nah I just got some heatproof black from supercheap, cost $20 and did the job quite nicely.

Looks really good mate! Top effort on the DIY! I am looking to get my FMIC in on my gen2 soon, just got to get some piping changed so I can get past the dredded ABS!

Yeah the ABS was a pain...I was lucky the piping was already made up to suit it, was still a tight squeeze though! Actually the whole thing was a tight squeeze, still gotta find a spot for my charcoal canister lol.
