Non Turbo Subaru Stuff

[iplen]

Have a 1990 Liberty Wagon for sale, the body is rust free, but previous owner had spatial relations issues and it is pretty scratched up.. However it contains the following parts, would prefer to sell complete, but will part for the right money. I have spent OVER $10,000 on the parts in this car, and I do not want to see it go, but I have it, a broken rally car and a broken GTR, and for the meantime and driving a 3 cylinder Charade, so I want my GTR back on the road....

Engine:

2004 Liberty 2.5 litre bottom end, balanced to with 1gram, both static and spun, pulleys through to flywheel. with spun big end.. Unclear how bad, started it, heard the rattle shut it off, Sump is off, bottom will come off bearings soon, bottom end did 30000k in the original car, then came out for warranty replacement, I have fitted all genuine rings and bearing <5000k ago, and while someone else had it it ran short on oil, hence the big ends. ALSO Where the head studs go into the block has been massively strengthened, because Subaru Alloy is weak as piss and the head studs fall out...

1992 Liberty 2.2 heads, all rebuilt with genuine parts, flowed (30+% better) with Tighe mild cams.

with <5000k old heavy duty Exedy cluch

All new belts, pulleys water pump etc

I have driven the car for about 1 year, the motor is brilliant, better lower torque than standard, and getting 10l/100 around town.

Gearbox:

2004 Forester gearbox, approx 30000k old, with a 1990 Liberty diff.... Basically the Forester has high gears and a low diff, the Liberty is the opposite, because they rev a bit hard at 100k, I put my diff in an almost new Forester box, which was then fully rebuilt by Subaru's own gearbox Guru (he trains Subaru mechanics to rebuild gearboxes) 5th gear now sits at 2800 at 110, still has low range, and with the above motor the car pulls up hills in fifth with ease that used to need fourth in a shorter geared box.

Suspension:

2004 Impreza RS Sedan Struts (same as WRX) and springs. Front spring SEATS have been cut and rewelded so car sits even (Wagon rear struts are longer) Car sits visibly lowered, but still very practical, most importantly though it is like swimmers on a woolen blanket. my 1990 wagon feels better into and mid way through a corner than the GTR, and it is only sheer grunt that gets the GTR out quicker. Car sits flat, tight and is still a great ride day to day.

Other stuff:

2004 WRX Leather Momo, with airbag still in place.. perfect nick

Liberty RS Turbo Mags, with scratches, and 205/50 Falken Azenis, few years old, but still seem pretty sticky, also heaps of tread left

Hitech full stainless 2.5in Exhaust, came off 2004 RS Impreza, however has been lengthened to fit above Wagon, 1 muffler on the back, was built for Impreza Rally car, so no shiny tip, but the Wagon sounds hot with it.

Body:

Mushroom Brown, wagon, GX AWD, all the luxo bits, has tints and very dark rear tint, good comfy car, was looking forward to having it day to day for a few years, but have no choice now...

As you can see I have put a massive amount of effort and research into building this car, and I love driving it, looks like nothing but goes well enough and handles brilliantly. I will be sad to see it go.

No rego, but passed 12 months ago and will not have any probs this time round either with bigends replaced.

Chasing $4000 for the lot, there are also some forester drive shafts etc to go with it, and some old WRX Wagon Struts.
