Welcome to SubyClub mate, you've already settled in quite easily which is awesome.

 

The Outback looks to be a good buy and your other cars, wow. Very nice indeed. Keen to see how you go with your planned mods for the Outback though. This forum is an awesome resource for it and there is nothing you won't find. Quite a few of the boys here have lowered their Outbacks so you'll never be left with no answers.

I thought I recognised the user name...... Welcome. 

 

Been looking through your wagon build over on Ozdat. I was seriously contemplating buying Des's one for a cruiser.

 

Glad I sold my BBS LM's now. Cant have the same as another Vic member. Reversing them makes them +32.

Welcome to the club Heath. Lots of Gen3 Outback love here!! 

 

Looks in good nick given the mileage. Its a bit different to the Torana, hey 

[Samwise]

Welcome!

Well I'm back from my little overseas work trip and keen to start turning some spanners soon. Should pick up the car this weekend, currently looking for a cost-effective way of bringing it down to Liberty height. Considering B4 Bilsteins (found a set for $250 delivered with no springs), maybe aftermarket coil-overs but don't want super high spring-rates and don't want to spend a whole lot. Just looking for second hand gear ATM.

 

Also happen to have access to these bits from a Gen-2 Liberty that my mate wrecked - I'm not sure if these parts are compatible/what I need and I doubt he has the bolts anywhere haha, but they are free!

[Beckers]

You have a PM heath

[Hezath]

Thanks for the help so far guys. 

 

Are the front sunroofs supposed to open on GEN3's? The dealer was going to get an auto elec to look at the sunroof, but said he found out the front one is just static, and the rear slides. I know the GEN4's aren't like that.

[Barbbachello]

I think it's supposed to pop up maybe but not slide

[aekOne]

the front should open

[Hezath]

This is why I never pay people to work on my forking car lol. I just thought because it was a new car, it would be easy for some professional to have a crack at it. Could someone just confirm with absolute certainty that this model of Outback never came with a fixed front sunroof? I was pretty sure they popped, and it seems like the dealer is taking me for a ride because he doesn't wanna fork out some cash for the repair of this thing. If I already owned the car, I'd have no hesitation in doing it, but I negotiated this in part of the sale so I'm not stoked if what you're saying is correct.

[Barbbachello]

Quick way to test its to shut the doors with some oompf they tend to pop up a little bit from the force

The front tilts

[Adam]

I'm pretty sure there's a manual way to open it aswell, if you would like to prove your point

After a month, I actually picked this up tonight with a roadworthy done and the sunroof sorted.

Looks completely aids with the BBS wheels, low profile tyres and mega high stance. Will have to put the standard wheels back on for a while until the height is under control.


In other news... seems good. Orange light with an engine icon comes on and off intermittently, car is too quiet, I'm scared of heights etc. Probably could do with a wheel alignment once it's lowered a bit too.

[Hypnotic]

So, did you make them fix the sunroof or did you have to do it yourself?

[Barbbachello]

Finally. Im happy to take the wheels if you dont want them

[Beckers]

Car looks good Heath.
