Zup?

Zup peoples?

Long time Lover, first time poster...
(well 3rd, but that's getting technical...)

Thought I'd join your ranks, and say howdy.

Me?
I'm on my 2nd Liberty now, had this baby for about 2 1/2 years now, still love every minute of it.

She's a MY01 RX Sedan, named Kiyone (stolen from an Anime show)
"1"

She's had a few nicks and grazes, and a few more since I got her...
Just ticked over 115k.  Started at 60k.
(And I spent 6 months walking inbetween)

She had the rice mods for a while, Blue Streetglow lights and all.
They've all been turfed.
Audio wise, she had a JVC DVD upgrade, and a Boston 12" subbie.  The subbie has been removed for now thou, needed the boot space back for a while.

For the trainspotters, yes, she doesn't have a RX badge.  Between me paying for it (Subaru dealership) and collecting the car, someone broke into their storage yard and debadged all of the cars.
The standard badge was a temporary they gave me while the proper was on order, the RX one lives on the desk, I prefer the normal...

Since I bought her, She's had doors opened on her, someone jumped on the roof (If I find ya, ya gunna hurt...) mirror snapped off (same person) clipped in SuperMarkets, but still she looks fairly tidy.

She also picked a fight with a Mazda (while the cops were watching mad )
Wrote the Mazda 323 off.
She only broke a headlight and bent the bumper.  Airbags didn't even fire.
(And my insurance is full replacement of panels/bars, so I got off easy there, the Police however, got me for 6mths of Walkies.)

At the moment she's stock except for the DVD and GPS.
But that'll hopefully change very soon...

Prior to her I had a 2003 Pulsar (never again!) and before that a 1990 GX Liberty with a somewhat 'tweaked' motor, she used to leave the clock, (220) before the gearbox shattered one day under the pressure, she was still accellerating.
I never found out what was done to the motor, it'd been done in-house by Subaru we believe, coz I bought it off a older lady, who never left town in it.
The Mechs looked it over, compared it to the others in the yard, something was just different, the Speedlimiter was supposed to be 180, and as far as they could see, it hadn't been bypassed.

Outside of this, I'm in the Western part of Vic at the moment, moving to Melbourne in about 4 weeks, (so I'm up for any cruises) always a rev-head.
And going metro, means I'll finally have access to some tuning shops big_smile

Thats about it I guess smile

/end rant here.

Yea... I probably shoulda just put a lot of that in the myRIDE section...
Hadn't found my way there at that stage...

Yes, there is something about the look of them, timeless almost, they don't look as dated as cars of the same era, and there are very few that you see that are in poor condition.

Must be part of the love affair I guess.

Haven't had the ride height lowered (I agree, it's too tall) because of the area I I'm living in. (2 more weeks!)  A lot of my driving is off the bitumen (gravel drift ftw!) being country based, and a lot of driveways scrape as it is, and the bit of extra height helps if you need to straddle roadkill.
I want to put in adjustables, just haven't got there yet.
(has anybody fitted the Tein's with the dash controller?  I'm interested in comments, I'm told the parcel shelf is an issue.)

And I haven't had the roof fixed, I was lucky in that the bulk of the weight landed on the centre bar, the smaller dints popped out with one of those $5 suction caps from Supercheap, didn't crack the paintwork.
I had it priced, to get it fixed was est. $1000, but as it is, the seal is fine, so no risk of badness happening, and only I know where it is smile There's only 2 tiny ripples about 15cm long.  I got away lucky.  Tempted to install a sunroof instead of getting it fixed too.  But that's more money...

C'mon you can't tell me all Anime is bad!
Initial D rox!  Especially at the end of Season 4.
And the soundtracks are brilliant for speed-driving (keep the entire set in the car smile)
Anime is an aquired taste i'll admit.  My collection has just ballooned to 52 different series.
