Greetings all,

as the title says, got me self a new ride. my new daily driver. brand new 2009 subaru liberty. and its an auto :rant: (gasp)!!! and i love it to bits.

dont get me wrong i still love my GTR (always will) but now that im working at subaru fountain gate, insted of mentone where i was, im no longer able to sponge a lift to work. this ment driving the R from mt martha to fountain gate and back every day in traffic! i very quickly got over it! so with a bit of thought ive decided to lease a new liberty. i got a killer deal through work and i already knew how good the liberty's are. the other thing was with the promotion i got, came a pay increase :P which is enough to more or less pay the lease payments. so in a round about way, i guess you could say that work has bought me a car :laugh:

i think i love the "Libbo" as much as i love the R, but for completley different reasons. Now my R can sit in the garage waiting for a nice sunny weekend or track day. and i enjoy it even more than i used to because im driving it less. each driving experience is that little bit more special if you like... (sounds pretty sad ay?)

im sure you all know what a liberty looks like but heres a pic anyway...

feel free to pass comment.

cheers,

matty.

Nice one Matty. I met you at the Kamikaze SAUvic membership renewal.

Good choice on the liberty. Practical and fast... sort of :P,

My daily driver is going to be a hot wagon of some sort too. GTRs in stop-start traffic with modified clutches and poor fuel economy = getting tired of actually driving it. Totally agree.

With the amount of money you saved on the liberty you should be able to afford the oil cooler and sump baffle for the R before the suspension/tire mods :laugh:

Well done and congratulations on your new purchase ;) That white is sexy!

I know a few people at Subaru. What do you do there? I assume you're in the 'Melbourne Subaru' chain of dealers?

Mmmmm Subaru fuel additive...can't leave without it...HAHAHA!

Take it easy! Drive safely.

Thought i'd put my 2 cents in here as i'm also relieving my ride of daily duties in favour of the weekender title.

My new daily (toy) will be a motor bike! Pick it up in 7 days!

Can't farken wait!!!!!!!!! It's a Honda RVF400 Red & Black.

Trying to up load pics but i'm being barred!

Oh yeah nice Liberty too by the way! Such nice cars to drive.

thanks guys,

yes we are part of Subaru Melbourne, and im in spare parts. who do you know S2oOo?

i love the satin white, being a pearl colour it really looks awesome in the sun :D

i thought i did pretty good with getting the Libbo, but it looks like ive been upstaged by snowy with his new beast! hmm... i could trade both the R and the Libbo, then i would only have to pay prolli 100 grand or so for an r35... ;)

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
