- Custom FMIC (made by Al)
- Modified TCPAUTO 3" TBE
- Tein Coilover's

- STI V3 Bucket Seats

All work was carried out by Al and Miles of AMAUTO.

FOR SALE 98RX Liberty

Re: GENII STi Conversion - Benny

  Top of Page

the "actual" cost of the "conversion" cost me $2000 labour. apart from the cost of the cut, i needed the usual extras, like a fuel pump and new clutch. After buying rims and rubber and tbe's and fmic's it started to add up...

some suggestions:

- need a RX front bumper bar with the quad lights... they look HOT! smile Kenan on RSLC has one for sale..

- Momo steerin wheel... there's a cheap one going on RSLC for $175 for your model with airbag still in tact smile

- Colour code the side strips!

Aside from that, it's a sick looking car! Well done!
