I can afford something better,i just love the idea of building my own "better".

The outback is probably the smartest idea, and i can just swap over my current mods.... but what would an 03 rx go for with just over 200kms? absolutely nothing now.

I still can't wrap my head around how i spent over 6k on it a year ago before i got into the forums.

in the end this is my first car, i am mechanically minded and love tinkering, so that's why i'm so obsessed with a build instead of buying a gen 4 3.0 like everyone else.

but if i do end up starting the search for an outback. 

can i do a flex fuel tune or get a tune with 98?

can i expect similar power to a gen 4 spec b with a exhaust, intake and tune ?

what else would i need to convert it with a sti 5 speed or 6 speed, other than loom mods and a cluster ?

oh and would the wider fenders allow me to run 245s or 255s ? i am running 235s on the lib but surely the outback can run wider ?

how healthy can a ez30 with just over 200kms be ? i have an ej25 with just over 200 and it's been nothing but trouble so that would be my main concern 

i know that they have a multi link rear end.. that's why i wouldn't buy another liberty. 

and the gen 3 rx is 1395 kg herb... plus like 30 kg from the swap give or take so let's say 1435, the gen 4 3.0r spec b is 1535 kerb.. really isn't enough to be considered a valid argument from a performance perspective but it's still like losing a passenger... 

in the end... rattles can be fixed..

and why wouldn't it be legal ? that engine comes stock on that chassis so it doesn't require engineering, and its na....

i did look at a h6 outback, i do love the look. but they're too expensive compared to the rx i already own. just a bunch of oldies who bought them new selling them off with 300kms for twice what they should be.

if i could find a healthy outback with under 150 clicks and a sunroof... i'd swap in a heartbeat as i need the space. and i doubt i'd get 5k for the rx i paid 6 for under a year ago 

i figured making this kind of thread on subyclub wouldn't get the same " just buy a gen 4" response of the club lib crowd, i appreciate the effort to respond but i don't like the easy rout. prefer to spend a bit more on something i built myself than just drive a gen 4 with king springs and xxrs with tires too small for my rep wheels.... no offence to anyone with a gen 4

i just love gen 3s.. if i was going to spend money on a car that's already good id get a 2006 wrx wagon or 08 hatch or any subaru with mcpherson struts all around. not a 3.0r spec b, everyone has one, they're heavy, and the gen 3s are in my opinion the best libertys.

my original plan was a turbo swap, but i've seen how cheap outback h6 wrecks go for and there's no way i'm getting away with a sti swap on my ps. but i absolutely need more than the 70 kws, so i figured a h6 (done completely by myself) would be a nice idea, and give me enough in a car until i'm allowed to drive something with an sti powerplant
