G'day Lads,
Names Shaz from Sydney, Australia. I'm a regular on Subyclub.com (Like that shady barbachello guy...). Bout this car off a member of the club, who bought it off another member of the club that done alot of the work to it. He done an amazing job so the maintenance and little bits and pieces are left for me.
So this is my 97 Subaru Outback. I wouldn't hesitate to rate it in the very top percentage of the BG population in terms of how mint this car is. The car was owned by an elderly couple and is 100% original. Its NEVER missed a service from new and always serviced at Subaru right up until 6000kms ago. Every repair recommendation on a service was fixed at the next service with reports to prove it. Has just had the motor out with new rear main seal, crank seal, cam seals and rocker cover seals and timing belt done also.
Engine:
Standard EJ25D
4 layer metal headgaskets fitted and all seals, water pump, timing belt, etc replaced.
Power steering pump and alternator just completely rebuilt.
Transmission:
JDM Version 6 STi 4.44 5 speed manual conversion. 80k on box, 10K on clutch. 4.44 Outback auto diff.
Brakes:
'11 Forester XT 2 pot 294mm front brakes with Bendix GCT pads and oem rotors. Pads only just fitted and rotors machined.
'06 Liberty GT 1 pot 290mm rear brakes with new oem pads and oem rotors.
Both calipers just stripped and refurbed in Brembo gold.
Goodridge braided lines all round.
Wheels / tyres:
SSW 18x7.5 +35 with 215/45/18 Falkens,
Suspension:
Car completely de-lifted to Liberty spec using all oem parts.
JDM GTB Bilstein struts and springs.
Whiteline 20mm adjustable rear swaybar.
Exhaust:
GC8 WRX exhaust manifold.
Custom 2" mandrel bent stainless steel centre pipe with stainless steel Magnaflow resonator.
Fujitsubo Legalis diff back.
Exterior:
JDM projector headlights. de-oranged with chrome bulbs and Philips Crystal vision low beam and parker globes. Lenses are 100% crystal clear with zero yellowing. They have NOT been reconditioned.
Custom black grill with color coded badge
Legacy Turbo bonnet
Oem moulded mudflaps
Legacy tailgate spoiler
Brand new rear bumper protector
Clear lens fog lights with Philips 3000K globes and brand new oem fog light grills
Interior:
Gen3 Legacy GTB front seats retrimmed to match oem leather / suede combo (at a cost of $2000)
'01 JDM Forester STi steering wheel - mint condition.
V6 STi shift knob - mint condition
New leather shift boot
WRX alloy pedals
Legacy floor mats
Legacy cargo tray
Legacy instrument cluster gauges (original one supplied also)
Legacy puddle lamps
Stereo:
Sony X plode HU 6 Clarion speakers from an '00 Legacy GTB.
Plans? Not really sure yet. Its almost too nice to modify. Perhaps a bit lower. Turbo conversion? Might do, but it would just be something like a v3 STi refurbed to stock specs, as this will be my daily driver and work car so needs to be reliable.
PICS:
