Will post some pics when I collect it tomorrow. Has anyone had any experience with these cars?

Solid as a rock, I need to get a new front seat, steering wheel and gear knob. Just general wear and tare.

Don't watch MCM unless you want your car to be worse than it currently is, those guys have no clue...

Is that a Jap plate on the windscreen? Fresh import?

Looks good, it's a turbo wagon so you gotta love that. I was just interested in seeing the Japanese plates behind the windsceen because it looks like my area of Tokyo but they are usually Shinagawa plated as I don't think there is a rego place closer than that. It was hard to make out from the picture though hence the request for a better picture.

Engine runs really sweet.

Probably going to need a new clutch, needs new brakes as well.

In regards to the steering wheel, any aftermarket wheel will fit on as it's got a factory momo boss kit, in regards to the seats, my brother has an RS Legacy (yes a Legacy, they're only called Liberty's here) sedan, and has version 6 WRX seats, the rails from your factory seats bolt on to the newer seats with no modification. Is the car a manual? Just get any aftermarket knob off eBay?

Thank you!!!

Yes, car is a 5 speed manual! :yes:

RS legacy... fairly rare right? I'll look for some of those seats.

Gents,

Can someone please tell me if these seats fit my car?/

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230952179539?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Yeah they're rare as hens teeth in Aus, only seen one here, my brother lives in NZ, and they were widely imported over there..

In regards to those seats, not positive that they would bolt directly in, however the rails are easily removed and swapped.. Funnily enough I parted out an 89 GT wagon a few years ago, had full options and electric leather seats, only got $100 for the seats! ( in NZ tho )

Hope that helps

Great cars, just be careful with the "glass" gearbox. Has a rep for being very fragile and unable to handle the all wheel drive grip with some lead footed driving (as MCM Marty found out)

Update on the car...

Getting new brakes, new clutch and have just found a steering wheel to suit.

Overall the car has been really well maintained in terms of engine and so on, the seller sent me all the service history.

Outside the car is not so good, has a mark on every panel pretty much, I'm going to paint the roof one of the following colors, black, white or silver.
What do you guys reckon?

A good cut and polish will fix most of the scratches.

I just need to find out whether the seats on ebay will fit my car.
Seats are from a 1998 Subaru Liberty... any help appreciated.

Cheers

ARTZ,

How are you mate?

Can you please PM me with a price?

Do you need photos? I only have 1 of the car see above...

The roof doesn't need to be touched, just the rest of the car.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
