Gents,

How's it going?

Just picked this up...1992 Subaru Liberty RS Wagon manual

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.

haha get watchin mighty car mods for inspiration mate!

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?/

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
