Suby Club

Ok, so I thought I might finally start a thread for my 1997 Subaru Liberty GX. I've had it for nearly a year and its an awesome car.

My plans are once I get off my P's, doing a full turbo conversion. I've read much about mods for N/A Subaru's, so I'm going to stick to handling, suspension and looks of the car.

Mods I have done up to now:

-I re-upholstered the door panels and gear stick cover in red vinyl (not the whole thing, just the piece with the material on it)
-Put on a APEXi N1 muffler, which brought out the boxer sound (which their was none before)
-Painted the brakes red for the extra 25kW (Mighty Car Mods style)
-Painted stock Subaru wheels charcoal

Mods for the future:

-Install BC coilovers all round
-Get new brakes and rotors
-Paint black trim down the sides and the mirrors silver
-Some other things I can't think of right now


Here are some pictures of my car.

Hi and welcome.
Looks like a nice clean starting point (except for the last pic).

Thanks and Mighty Car Mods is awesome

Welcome to Subyclub!

Marty and Blair are top blokes and what they do are awesome.

The bunch of 13 year olds running around after them are not

Welcome to suby club mate

Never really seen someone call him Blair, only known him as Moog. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks AekOne

watch the credits

Yeah, I just think Moog is more of an awesome name.

Welcome mate.

Enjoy your stay.

Cheers,
Shazza

When i read that you had re-upholstered the door panels and gear stick cover in red vinyl, i though uhh ohh... But it actually looks pretty good. Good work on the DIY jobby haha

Cheers C-Shell, it was one of the first things I did when I got it. I hated the look of that material stuff.

Welcome!! mighty car mods needs more videos and less mag/update crap if you ask me.. Was awesome punching through 50 vids when i first found them tho

Have prepped wheels ready for painting (took 2 days) and will be painting them on Sunday.

I'll have pictures up in a few days.

Ok, so I finally got the pictures of my car with the new painted rims. Here they are:

I will be putting up a thread for painting rims, so look out for that if you're thinking of doing it.

Nice job mate, Paint gun or rattle can?

Nice work!

Used a paint gun, took me two solid days of work to finish it, but worth it.

Cool, top effort. Although it looks like you live in the sticks, get some tyre foam and tyreshine on those tyres asap.

Thanks for comments. Yeah, got a massive dirt road, so they get dirty every time I drive it. Once I leave the sticks, they'll look a lot better.

No worries, that would kill my life!
