Couple of my mates have 6 between the two of them on 600hp monster in build too !!! They are extremly reliable over 250k k's and still going stong and most WRX/sti parts are BOLT-IN options for upgrades and how many FULLYSICK WRX drivers upgrade ther STI suspension cause "it's not low enough".

6 libertys? give me 1 :P

Hey mate,

Ive just PM'd you with some details.

I used to own one, and by far the best car ive ever driven. EVER.

Cheers

champ!

PM replied mate :)

There were some good articles in the earlier zoom magazines, as the editor at the time had one. I will try and find them when I get home in a couple of days and scan them up for you.

that would be great thanks bud!

damn. honestly i was actually hoping NOT to get such positive feedback on these cars so i could have an excuse to continue searching for an r32 gtst instead :P but i've heard enough its definately gonna be an rs!! plus i don't think these days i'd be able to get a decent r32 for anything under 10Gs anyway..

i still reckon these are 1 of the best/best looking wagons ever made. love em! unfortunately i'm not into wagons...

esky_mad thanks for the pics of the green/blue 1 dude didn't know those things could look that good :)

just looking for some unbiased opinion on this car, which is why i haven't bothered going on subaru forums.

anyone here ever owned one or currently drives one? i'd just like to know how reliable they are etc..

to past owners - why have you sold yours? got sick of it? too much of a headache? switched to rwd? upgraded?

any help is much appreciated.

thanks :P

brought a GTiR cause i couldnt find one. sold the GTiR to buy a RS.. couldnt find one. brought a GTR.. now over AWDs.

they are pretty tight car. basicaly a wrx without the stupid fully hektic burnout image. gearboxes are weak but can swap with the MY98 onwards box aslong as its a GC series and the same rear diff ratio. the water to air cooler is ok. but benifits from a FMIC Air to Air. with a form of water spray.

so for around 10k i rather get a RS wagon than a GTiR or a stagea RS auto S1.

they are a great car and ive driven a few. smooth with wrx rumble.. :)

www.libertyrs.org good bunch of blokes.

keep in mind all this info is off my head from years back. :P

if i dig up anymore info ill let u knw

thanks

mark.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
