This seemed more appropriate in builds and projects. This is my 98 BD Silver Anniversary Liberty. Paid $4500 with 180,000kms and a aftermarket head unit and also quite a lot of road noise that turned out to be either 2 cracked rims and a dodgy back left wheel bearing, or maybe both.

Managed to pick up a V3 STi Nardi wheel for $80 from CodeBurn3r after he got back from Canada. Had to remove my clock spring as there is a big connector for the cruise control so ill have to take a look at an impreza one to fiddle with. Fits perfect though and the cancelling and all that works. Looks 10x better as well

Nice!

[Hypnotic]

Noice!

[Shiv]

I've always loved that steering wheel. Good find!

[CodeBurn3r]

Glad it all fit ok mate..
Looks the part on the gen2.. if i didn't have Airbags n such i would have swapped it in myself

and like i said about the outside.. a bit of boot polish works a treat.. just make sure you polish it off properly! else you will have the Nigra touch.. everything you touch will turn blaaaaaack hahha

Also.. WTF how did i not notice you have sunroof also!

Wheel looks great.

[Barbbachello]

Hasnt leaked yet haha. Pretty sure its factory so should be fine

The Nardi is way smaller as well. Feels more go karty now lol

[CRUISN]

Love that wheel. Had a mint one in my Gen2 Legacy.

You need to get a 97-98 Legacy grill though so you dont have the gap below.

Yeah i forgot that up until i installed it, leant down and said dicks haha

Sunroof is Aftermarket,
Installed by Prestige Sunroofs in Camberwell
If you get under the Lower Dash cover under the steering wheel you will see all the wiring and Relays attached there.

It was a Dealer option on late model 97 > 99 AU Delivered vehicles.

[Barbbachello]

As in mine or yours is aftermarket?. Mine is a 98 so could be dealer optional. I've got the original sticker floating round somewhere I think I'll have a look

[aekOne]

The sunroof on yours is a dealer option that was added here (aftermarket) by Subaru Australia, it's not actually a factory fitted item.

[CodeBurn3r]

As Above,
A Former member on here and good friend's Father worked for Subaru when The Gen2 RX was first released

We had a good old chat about it all..
Subaru would not ship them here with sunroof from factory as it would fail ADR at the time..
but once landed and complianced, Dealers were able to slap them in.
90% of gen2 sun roofs installed were done though a agreement by Subaru Camberwell ( was called something else as this is before there was "Subaru Australia") and Prestige Sunroofs

Long story short.. Its Aftermarket and a BITCH! to re-upholster (12 months and mine still is "in progress")

So i paid an arm and a leg and got some Plasti Dip and with the help of a mate "dipped" my side skirts and installed them. Then today i painted the front "lip" thing on the bottom of the RX bar.
