Another Newbie

  Top of Page

G'day OzLiberty people.  My name's Nathan, I'm from Brisbane QLD.  I recently bought a 99' Subaru Liberty RX 'Gen III' I believe. 

I believe it's invaluable being a member of a car group and look forward getting some ideas and help off people and helping out myself where I can.

I'm in love with the subi, it's maroon, it's got $1000 worth of sheep skin seat covers (already in there when I bought it), auto, the paint is perfect and it's got electric everything.  Apparently it was a limited edition one.  Thats what the previous owner lead me to believe. 

First modification was $700 worth of Rola Roof racks with bike carriers.

As for the car, I'd like to do a manual conversion and open up the 2.5 and let it breath easy.  Probably 12 months off.  If anyone could shed some light on what a manual conversion would cost and entail would be great,

I'll be around for a while as I can't see myself ever selling it.

Great car.

Gday

Welcome to ozlib.
check out the gold coast hinterland cruise which is happening at the end of next month,
As for a manual conversion, it would be expensive. not quite sure but would be cheaper to sell the car and buy a manual version. Auto's are great for daily driving though. but ill never buy one again. hehe. slush box ftl.

welcome to the site Nathan!

you could probably do a manual conversion for around $2500-$3500 depending on parts and labour. you should be able to get all the parts you need for around $1500 then it's just the labour. probably easiest to ring a few wreckers and get the left overs from a halfcut that has had the engine removed. that way it should include everything you need, just make sure you get the rear diff as well
