Well i've finally gone and done it now. It's official , i'm an old man driving an old man's car lol.

Seeing as my wife still has the classic GC8 WRX i see no reason to continue funding 2 sports cars and

I went and bought a very low km MY03 outback in fantastic condition. It has the odd scratch and dent that

you'd expect from an 8 year old car but had 1 owner and full subaru service history and even came with some sort of

warranty. Compared to the animal that was the B4 ,this thing is pure luxury and a pleasure to drive albeit

a little lacking in power and it wasn't the blue i'd hoped for. None the less i look forward to adventures of a different kind

in the Outback.

Nice one mate

Nice buy mate.
Didnt take you long!
Watch the upkeep of the red paint - prone to fading if not looked after but I'm sure you've got that under control!

Any plans for her?

[Shiv]

Congrats on the purchase!

Its not quite the weapon the B4 was, but its got its own set of qualities I'm sure you'll grow to appreciate in time.

Just beware - this things probably a lot easier to roll than the B4, so watch out

Congratulations mate, enjoy her in good health.

My first car was red and i hear you about looking after red paint.

As for plans, half the reason i bought an outback was to leave all that modding behind me.

How ever !!!!!,,,,,,,,,,i do have a nice set of silver bugeye rims in the garage,,you know the ones,,,,,,,,and lets just say,,,,,just saying that is,,,,IF
bye chance they were to go on the car, then that would open the door for my powder coated front 4 pots and matching rear 2pots (with the kartboy adaptor)
which also have braided lines to go on also roght ?.

Now IF by chance you could be bothered doing all that then surely you might as well throw on the front and rear sway bars with AVO end links
sitting in the shed as well ...yeah ?

But enough IF's for now i'm taking the kids for a spin and let em play with the double sunroof hehe.

lets say IF said products don't make it on the car and IF said products fit on a B4, then I might help you clean them out of your garage

[cracka]

HHmm , considering they came from a Gen3 B4 i'm tippon they will go on my Gen 3 Outback maybe,,maybe.

Sheet i can't be doing this already , car hasn't even been in the driveway for 24hrs and i'm already talking mods FFS .

[Hypnotic]

lol, the mod bug never leaves you

[cracka]

If some one is really keen i'll have a complete 6sp conversion going cheap soon also , soon as
my ribs get better i'll rip it out.

[Alex]

Sixspeed?

Talk to me.

[cracka]

Aren't you in NSW or something ?

[Morgan]

Yea my first car was red too. A polish every couple of weeks kept her in good nick but its hard work!
The burgundy is a nice colour though

Wheels, brakes, sways. I like your way of thinking.
If you swap the wheels over, you'll need to get some 215/55/17 tyres for it too - ive got the 215/45/17s that come with the standard 17" rims and my speedo is about 10km/h out when going 100km/h

I've got a STi front strut brace on mine, sway bars will come next. Doesn't have much body roll for a higher car but coming from the B4 I'm sure you'll notice it!

One thing you definitely SHOULDN'T do, is go to rslibertyclub.org and search for 'outback'.
There is a thread called 'bugged outback' that you shouldn't read
As well as 2 or 3 other threads about modded outbacks that might give you more ideas. I suggest staying well away from them

[cracka]

A bit of effort gone into those outbacks alright lol.

Nice one cracka, looks clean as.

The average age of SC must be on the rise!


I wouldn't worry too much about the red paint. Should be fine as it has a coat of clear.

[cracka]

My first and second outback mods

Cusco tower brace which survived the b4 crash



My old K+N air filter washed up like new or newish anyway.

[Shiv]

Does the s.brace make much of a difference on the Outback?

I got a K&N filter too The old one that was fitted was largely crusted over with all sorts of crap...
