Hey guys,
Long time lurker, thought I'd introduce myself. My names Matt, 22 years old and currently a Psychology student at a local university. I've been a Subaru fan as long as I can remember (lots of rally games as a kid). My first car was an Australian Ford Falcon (EL model), which was a great car, massive amounts of torque (straight 6 cylinder), I killed it offroad (awesome In mud puddles, wish I had a vid). I needed a new car so I insisted to my parents I wanted a Subaru, they brought it for me without checking it over (that cost me, I was on holiday). So here is my BD '96' liberty, I've had her for a few years now. It's FWD, however it's less of a boat compared to my last car, so I take corners at ridiculous speed. It's a standard 'GX' model which came with power windows and nothing else interesting, except I've added in lowered suspension and led dash lights. Unfortunately the guy I purchased the springs off, neglected to tell me that the rear springs where 'superlow' compared to just 'low' (king springs), so I have an odd ride height. I have a WRX front brake setup to put in, and some new rear springs to acquire, can't wait. I will begin an 'Ultra low' budget build thread when I acquire the parts.
Cheers,
Matt
