i thought everyone who owned libertys were like cressida owners... old and balding, no? hehe

uuuuhhhhhh....i like the boy already right to the point....there is a few on here like that but most of us are over the age of 20 who own turbos...and the younger ones own gx's and stuff like that.....

TRBO1J and 1JZ747.... they both run 11s and under... and Project Sleeper also....


pretty crazy numbers... but being a 19 y/o male i dont think that a car running 11's is a smart move, i like my cars not being around poles!

well im legally allowed 125kw a tonne, being awd i wont be anywhere near that...i just want something to cruise around with that has a bit of poke, thats why the one i posted sounds so good... black... leather and turbro (cos turbos are 'fully hektik bro')

Those are the machines I was thinking of! Awesomeness.

Sounds like you've got your head screwed on mate. Hopefully someone can come to the party with some information about the car you've linked to.

Cheers,
Nik

yeah they are some pretty quick cars... yeah i try and keep my head screwed on, a mate of mine smashed his car up and now he can never drive again because it gave him really blurry vision, after i saw the car i have no idea how he survived so it sorta has kept me down to earth with my driving....

toyota is already sold hehe

just trying to find a liberty now going to look at a diff one tonight

cheers for the welcome guys, went and had a look at a different liberty today, a genuine Legacy RS, seems in awesome condition, so im gonna go have another look tmoz

They ran the Leone in 84, no? Something happened in '82 aswell, but '84 was their first year in WRC.

Anyway. Keep up tracked on the RS mate. More details, someone here may just know the car.

Cheers,
Nik

That be fixed as simply as having it serviced.

In any case it not terribly expensive or hard to replace the auto, heck even a manual conversion could be on the cards.

There defiantly a worth while  car to get hold of.
Other things to look for that i can think of:
No funny noises in the turbo,
No rattles in the engine,
Rust can be a problem with older cars.

Just your usual stuff bro, maybe check the water in the radiator for oil, and conversely check the dip stick for water in the oil (Not that that's very accurate.)

that is a seriously clean lookin RS with super low kays for a gen 1.

i have already talked to the owner down to 9,000 even. Plus this one is only 25 minutes from my house, South Aus is too far...

Hey Norby!! Welcome to the site!

If you need any help specifically with RS libs - have a look here: http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/index.php?
Heaps of information in the technical FAQ/DIY section!

That first car you looked at looks like a GX conversion, with some added bits and pieces. The second one looks like a Jap grey import... my personal pic would be the second one. Theres something about owning a genuine RS over a GX conversion . Although Id question the owner about the ABS.... AFAIK, ABS didnt come out until the series 2 shape in the Gen 1, and even then it was a factory extra?! Easy to spot when you look at the car though. There will be a metal box under the bonnet at the drivers side front with about 6 lines coming out of it....
If youre interested, I know of a VERY nice Series 2 RS, modified in all the right ways. You wouldnt need to change anything, drive away 200kW ATW performance. It is in Canberra though.


Good luck! Keen to see what you end up with!
