hey chris,

welcome to the club,

sounds like your liberty is in for a change,

is it auto or manual?

Howdy Chris! Nice neat car, should come up nicely with some mods!

And yeh, jump straight to 17s, plenty around for sale and are the best combination of price, handling and appearance.

Cheers,

EG

Thanks all for the welcome

Yeah its a manual, 97,000kms on the clock atm

Was wondering if there was an exhaust system to fit the 97 RX with the EJ25 (headers back)? Have been looking round on the MRT site and can't seem to find anything Or can you buy the parts individually?

Welcome Chris.

Any questions feel free to ask.

IMO a 2.25 inch cat back system with a nice straight though muff, will do nicely.

any non-turbo cars exhaust should be no more that 2.25'', otherwise you will be going back in performance,

alright, i get ya,

i was just going of what the exhaust guy said to me the other day cos he thought the b4 was non-turbo,

then i told him its turbo then he says 2.5''

three inch is the way to go(turbo)

i would love 3'' but were a bit strapped for cash

i know that,   what is the stock diameter of the exhaust piping?
2''??

what i have seen in other forums is that people go for a second hand legacy motor from japan,  or a wrx engine swap,

a few people on this site have had engine swaps in their libertys.

have a look at www.rslibertyclub.org as their  is a fair bit of info about conversions, but mainly GEN1's

Cheers

Just got the car back on the road this morning, it had been in for repairs with a blown head gasket

In the process of trying to replace the stock shifter to an aftermarket MOMO item, but am having difficulties removing the original...Does anyone know how it comes off? (i.e. does it have to be unscrewed, or do you have to use special tools to remove)

It unscrews clockwise about 30 degrees then stops  :search:
