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.

That is gorgeous, just some subtle mods and very clean. Great job!

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.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
