I had an RS liberty sedan for awhile, was pretty modded, 150awkw or there abouts, was a good car, except the gearbox issues :closedeyes: .

With the clutch don't get a HD, will destroy the box pretty quickly.

Mine somehow broke the 1st/2nd selector fork in normal driving, was rebuilt a few years before I bought it and when I stripped it down it was due for another rebuild, the 5 speeds don't take well to hard driving.

Engine had done over 250k but it had the wrx heads fitted at around 120k or so, was a common issue with the rs heads to gunk up, so Subaru would replace heads under warranty with wrx ones, pretty sure they did crank bearings and pistons as well, was a common thing to get done.

Please don't. It is such a cool car you have there, there are plenty of guys with VN-VS Commodores rusting their rooves and bonnets, looks terrible IMHO. Why don't you a go at spraying it yourself. I reckon the pillars and roof done in a gloss black would look awesome, have a go with rattlecans - can't look worse than rusting it and besides which you can always try rusting it afterwards if you don't like the gloss black.

na don't rust the roof, its not a rat rod! Just save up for a bit and respray the roof, shouldn't cost too much.

Good purchase. I've had two of these. They are fun, cheap, reliable daily drivers.

For replacing the steering wheel, seats and gear knob, if you cant find original stuff, use early wrx parts. You will be surprised how many gc8 wrx parts will bolt straight in from suspension, brakes, entire drive line, seats etc.

If you want help and loads on info on these cars join http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/

Heres a pic of my old one for some inspiration.

I'm not going to rust the roof anymore... hahaha

Nice car buddy, Can I change the steering wheel by myself? I've got the steering wheel and gear knob.

Just need to get the seats.

It's a great car and I love it.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
