Looks nice Mark.
I like the well maintained stock clean look.


Sounds like you will be busy tomorrow and next week!

Pffft 2 hours work tops.

Lol.

Shuddup.

Yiieww, OUTBACK. Looks tidy, those tyres are gigaantic, GT's will look awesome! M0ar pics!

GT rims just got delivered today, fitted Friday. Pics on the weekend.

Haha just like your gt was staying stock!

Yeh same but different

Shuddup.

I look forward to seeing this de-lifted, with 18x10s, Brembos, etc, etc






(we all know if you were just after a surf bus you'd have bought a ratty gen1 wagon and lifted it )

[CRUISN]

Nah Marv, Gen2's are where its at.

Im too cramped in a Gen1 driven a couple.

I just cant have a ratty car.

[Marv]

I found zero difference (in terms of interior space) between my Gen2 wagon, my Gen1 wagon and my fiance's Gen2 sedan??

[Adam]

Mods yet?

I found the seat didnt go back far enough for me and I was too close to the steering wheel.

Mods yet?

Brakes done, o2 changed and cooling system bled properly so no more dash gurgle. 17's picked up today and go on tomorrow.

[Adam]

They aren't mods!




It's hard not to consider getting a gen 2 OBK!

[bobbyjimmy]

Mark, I'd add a rear sway bar to that mod list, night and day in Outback's.

Hhmmm, sounds like mine - cept a Gen 3 and "only" 18 x 9.5.

[Marv]

Pics Bobbyjimmy!

Yeh true. Not mods, just repairs.

Probably will do. See how it goes after the lower profile, wider tires and springs.

Ahahahah Mark.. i don't believe you

lets just bring this quote from the day you picked up the gen4...

Only mods i intend to do is some 18's either 3.0RB or CS9's, mesh grille and maybe STi lip (lip maybe not a good idea with the missus driving), sports pedals and maybe change the exhaust tips.

from here...

how long did that last...

nice car though.. look forward to see what you do with it.

[Adam]

So mods are starting with brakes?

[CRUISN]

Yeh, yeh, Ive said pretty much the same thing with every car. Just doesnt seem to stay that way though.

Im not one to pass up a good opportunity especially when its a set of brakes I personally refurbed and the buyer is selling due to circumstances........

I'll update with pics in about 2 weeks when the car will look markedly different. Already looks markedly different as of this afternoon.

[Adam]

Excited to see what you do with an OBK.

IM SO SO SO SO Tempted to convert an OBK to turbo.

[CRUISN]

Honestly I wont do much. The car is virtually mint and will be shortly with a few tidy ups.

Id love to do a turbo conversion and dump it, but after the two GT's, I dont see the point so im enjoying it for what it is.

If I do too much I wont be happy throwing the boards in it and driving on dirt roads.

[Adam]

I wouldn't lower it. I'd love to do a bit o soft roading, but I love the power my car has!

A tidy car can be better than a highly modded car!

[CRUISN]

It'll be tidy alright.

Im dropping it 30mm just to neaten it up. It has 215/55/17's now to maintain 0% difference to the 205/70/15 stockies so is still quite soft.

[Adam]

Nice! Def need bigger tyres on an ObK

[CRUISN]

Well the honey moons over.

A nice welcome to the world of Gen2 2.5 head gasket failures.

It decided to let go halfway back from an early surf this morning on the freeway just 700kms since I bought it.

Previous owner (an old lady) was very sorry and offered to pay half the repair costs.

Onto to Miles now who can hopefully source one without too much drama, do the heads and ship it to me to fit it.

[bobbyjimmy]

Surely time for an EJ205/255 and kept stock(ish)?
