aurelius' 97 Liberty RX 6/7: Rear lip

[aurelius]

I've been on here a while and figured I might as well post my ride and see if I get any love for it. Slow but getting there...

Past:

Present:
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6659/blackedout.jpg

Don't really have any real special mods at the moment. Running no fogs temporarily and I have a stockpile of mods still waiting to be installed.
Exterior:
- WRX 16s
- Gutted grille
- Blacked out headlights

Engine:
- Borla UEL reps
- 2.25" system
- Kakimoto R
- G2S1 intake pipe

Short term:
- Drop
- Front wind splitter
- Tint tails
- Rear diffuser
etc.

[ryu_haneda]

:shock:

Absolutely fantastic work. Welcome and thanks for posting!

[aurelius]

Thanks heaps! I guess one response is better than none, right? :lol:

Still need to install a few more things.

- Springs
- Outback RSB
- Updated tails, which will be tinted

Am also picking up a few cheap goodies when I get the money together. Getting the fog light replaced (finally!), GC shocks and vortex generator.

Installed the new strut bar today. Noticeable turn in difference...

Also got the new Kakimoto R on. Whisper quiet on idle and an aggressive noise on power.

Here's a quick video I took.

Took a few shots at a mate's place because of the great weather.

Your mad tyte photography angles are giving me a headache! :P

[aurelius]

Haha! It was my first attempt at mad tyte jdm photography yo :cool:

[aekOne]

haha what's up mate?? Small world with the interweb eh!! looking good. what's next?

the blacked out headlights with the grill and lack of fogs looks very stealth

[aurelius]

Haha, thanks aek. I joined this site because I got sick of the lack of diversity and encouragement for non JDM parts, haha.

Right now i'm just working on maintaining it, buying little exterior parts here and there and improving the handling. No conversion yet because of the two more years left on P's.

Don't forget the blacked out lights :razz: I love the blacked out look and plan on getting a re-tint and smoking the tails. I'm not enjoying the lack of fogs with the lack of fmic/conversion! There was a little incident involving a wombat that you can read on SubyClub lol.

[Airgne]

ncie 2nd gen. that muffler is huge!!!

[peugoby]

Looks nice! a GT rear bumper lip and some aero mud guards would fill out the look nicely.

[ryu_haneda]

Really liking your latest additions. Take your time and do it right.

Make sure you enjoy your ride. I'm definitely a fan :grin:

Thanks! Glad to know I have a fan :smile:

Keep watching because i'm trying to have a mod a week. This week it was only small (tail light, all new clips).


ncie 2nd gen. that muffler is huge!!!
Haha, thanks. It only looks huge because the end pipe is a bit too long and I don't have a skirt on atm. Skirts are for girls :lol:

That should be filled within the next few weeks with a custom hks like rear diffuser. I used to roll with the mud guards but got sick of them breaking up the body lines.

[aurelius]

Cash flow has been slow and i'm collecting funds for a major service :cry:

Replacement fog light finally came in and I added an engine cover. It will most likely be light mods in coming weeks.

New GT grille :) Not sure if I want to paint the badge red...

Red?

[aekOne]

looks good mate. did you want that specific gen 2 series 1 grill for the honeycomb mesh?? just a thought but the jdm grill you should try and hunt down is the gen 2 series 2 gt/rsb grill as it'll fill the gap down to your bumper better. since your car's so dark you don't really notice the gap anyway i guess. really digging the way your cars coming along...

I wasn't really looking for a grille until this popped up real cheap. I was going to just buy an RS badge and stick it on the mesh grille but this was only $20. I'm going to paint the surround gloss black because the chrome pieces are flaking out.

I've seen some series 2s running with series 1 grilles and the gap didn't see very visible. This is also my favourite stock grille. Thanks for the kind words!

Over the next few days, i'm doing a major service with head gaskets etc. While out of action it'll probably get dropped and HOPEFULLY projectors. Sell me yours aek? Haha

RS badge sticking to the grill... great minds think alike :)

[ryu_haneda]

Interesting. Great idea to paint the gloss on the grille black. Front end is looking aggressive.

Still enjoying the transformations!

[aurelius]

Thanks all!

Engine is out and head gasket replacement project is underway :(
http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3485/sadness.jpg

We expected the worst, with the engine fully overheating twice and water out of the headers and inlet. My face when we found out nothing was cracked. The heads were just torqued up to the old specs.
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8021/shockedy.jpg

So then the luls began:
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1310/doridori.jpg
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2599/lulzta.jpg

Teh luls ended shortly after when I sent my heads to get machined at a place that builds for STi. Pressure test showed that only one set of valves were pressurised. Hardness test proved that it's hardness level was at 0.6 when the standard was something like double of that.

One of the wheel bearings is also shot and the radiator turned out to be majorly blocked from Seal Up aka Chemi Weld, which lasted a good 6 months. If anyone wants to donate me a pillar pod or similar so I can manage my temps better then let me know :smt002 :smt002 :smt002

So I got another set of heads and will get them machined soon. I'm going to take advantage of the car on stands and finally install the RSB and springs. I'm also going to paint the intake manifold red because I can :razz:

[aurelius]

Finally fixed the head gaskets and the car is back on the road.

Installed the 18mm rear sway which I painted gold. Took a bit of fiddling around but I got it...
Wasn't the difference I was hoping for but is still noticeable.
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5903/newrsb.jpg

Here's the RS grille painted black on my car:
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/6466/grilleupd.jpg

Should have the RS badge soon to cover up the badge holes. Will go well with the red L7 badge.
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3664/brand39.jpg

I've got springs ready to fit but they're only a 20mm drop. Might trade them for 40mm lowered springs.

Currently trying to find a bonnet in my colour so I can scoop it and run my top mount transmission cooler :razz:

What do people think of 17x7.5 +20? Flush?

[mrpyb]

looks great, beautiful color!
do you have any resonators before your muffler or is it just straight 2.25 pipe from the cat?

[aurelius]

I've wanted to try no resonators but judging from youtube I don't think i'll do it. I've got the stock res and mid.

[ouch1011]

The car is looking great! Good work.


What do people think of 17x7.5 +20? Flush?
I have 18x7.5 +45 and they nearly stick out from the fenders, it would be "flush" fitment by most standards. +20 would rub badly and would look goofy. Rolling the fenders a LOT would help, but they would still stick out a lot around the lower portions of the body.

How the 18s look on my car, best shot I have of the offset...

they look like the eniki zr1 i love the look of them please tell me what they are!

[jantzen8895]

Those might be the ZR1's. I have the gun metal version on my black 98. hella flush but i rub like a mother. Awesome wheels though. Oh and hint-My fenders are rolled and pulled and it didn't help much

[aurelius]

Torque converter is dead. Catching the bus for the next few months until I can decide on what to do :-(

Found out that the transmission input shaft cracked and snapped off. Car is in the shop getting the transmission replaced and should be back by Tuesday. Also bought new wheels and a new rigid pitch stopper.

Speedy Lite Fin II - 17x7.5 +45. Weighs about 18lbs and i'm def going to spray them flat black (hate black chrome).

damn looking good my friend,

fix your exhaust tip AND IT'LL LOOK EVEN BETTER!

oops.. didnt mean to capslock

[aurelius]

Thanks man. My front is looking to cute for my liking though...
The scoop i've got lined up should even it out :P

LOL everyone gives me shit about that exhaust tip. If anything, i'd weld the tip back because it's hellaunflush right now. I'm thinking of having blast pipe-esque exhaust but having a muffler right where the flange is..

[ESSYMOND]

you dont need a drop or a scoop next...

you need a new camera LOL

[aurelius]

HAHAHAHAHA

4 year old Nokia FTL

That phone is about as cute as my car,.

[ryu_haneda]

scoop... just my 2 cents. Your car looks like it's got a nice stance already. But it's your ride... keep on enjoying it!

[aurelius]

Thanks man. It's not mounted yet and will fab up brackets on Friday.

I'm trying to do it without drilling holes anywhere.

Haven't mounted it yet, just mocked it up. Doubt there will be too much performance difference to be honest. Although I have heard people receiving a slightly less fuel consumption.

[ESSYMOND]

man you gotta make a diy for this

[BG5guy]

i got those brackets on my car. From what i have heard the purpose is to allow more airflow into your FMIC or radiator. When you go past 45 the hinges shift and your plate shifts back, allowing higher air flow and better performance, so they say lol

[aurelius]

Yeah, that's what I read as well but it's really just visual haha. Hopefully reduces plate recognition as well

Mounting points
- Driver's side sway bar (non exhaust side)
- Sway bar
- Existing hole on frame near the exhaust
- Jammed between the bumper and frame

Hating on projectors at the moment. My car looks cute to say the best.

Didn't look the part with the L7 grille so I put on my old one. Will paint corners amber...

I think the 03 WRX wagons had 20mm standard. I got one of that...

[peugoby]

Looking good! Just need to add that RS/GT rear lip for the rear bar to complete the look (that AND drop) :). Always loved the look of the WRX 17's on gen2's.

[geckoboy86]

Beautiful Subie. Love the Non-progector lights you had on it...Planning something similar for mine.

[aurelius]

Go V4 STI mate!
Yeah, decided I am. Just having trouble looking for one around 3k.

Yeah, same. I don't really like how the projectors look but they put out so much more light...

[aekOne]

you should be able to find one for $3000-$3500 if you look around. try Jason at "All Things Subaru"

[aurelius]

Thanks aek, will probably buy off them but if not then i'll get my garage to ship one in their container from Japan.

Will have a picture of clearance and camber soon.

[peugoby]

The stance, wheels & color look great! Please remove the chrome though, not feeling it

[httrdd]

Wheels look amazing! You have to roll the fenders to get those babies on there?

[aurelius]

Wait for my new wheels and then judge the chrome.

They're only 7.5s so I assumed I didn't have to. Rears need to be rolled and that photo had the struts and an exhaust in the boot when it was taken. Gained a few degrees of camber in the rear it seems :)

Here's how it sits. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for in height...

Thanks everyone but that is just a chop (17" overlay).

The wheels coming are 18x8 +20, 205/40R17 aka 30mm from where I was with the other wheels haha. Rear camber bolts are sorted and hopefully the standard front camber will suffice.

Wheels should be here by the end of the week! Exited :D

[MRLancaster]

Is that a Junction Produce badge on the hood? If not, curious what it is. Either way fits your car very well!

Niiiiice Legacy. Again! It's really coming along. Hmmm... may have to have you on the magazine at some point...

Really... what did you expect with an 8" wide wheel and an ET of 25...

[DarkPhoenix]

^^ What he said.

They will look great, but I think you will have to do what Girodisc did and make a widebody for them to fit, and look nice.

[WESTcoast]

that are going to look nice! I see fender rooling and ALOT of pulling to get them to fit just right. A little bit of camber can never hurt any one. 235 will give you a nice stretch if cambered and fenders are rolled you will still be functional. cant wait till you put some tires on those! Are you on coils?

btw thanks for that info do you have any close up pics of roof spoiler? I'm wingless too and Im looking for ideas for the rear

235 on an 8" isn't a stretch.

+1 to to roll and pull, and ALOT of camber - they'll fit.

[aekOne]

yeah i've always run 235's on 18's and they're not stretched at all. even with 215's they stretched a little but weren't that bad

[aurelius]

Really... what did you expect with an 8" wide wheel and an ET of 25...
*+20
I'm not complaining, i'm more worried about the rear height...


They will look great, but I think you will have to do what Girodisc did and make a widebody for them to fit, and look nice.
No flares for me. Here are a few examples of how this sort of poke was pulled off without flares:
12mm less than mine

that are going to look nice! I see fender rooling and ALOT of pulling to get them to fit just right. A little bit of camber can never hurt any one. 235 will give you a nice stretch if cambered and fenders are rolled you will still be functional. cant wait till you put some tires on those! Are you on coils?

btw thanks for that info do you have any close up pics of roof spoiler? I'm wingless too and Im looking for ideas for the rear
Thanks! I have a 'guard roller' aka pole that should suffice haha. There most definitely will be camber! I bought camber bolts all round and have front camber tops ready if needed.

I'm currently on STi struts with WL Flatout springs. If I have height issues with the rear, I can get KYB AGX for ridiculously cheap :)

Had to be trimmed on both sides. If I had another chance on buying another roof spoiler, I would go with the larger version because this one isn't too noticeable.

235 will 100% not stretch. Ideally i'd want 205s for clearance purposes. 215s for practicality...

But it looks like 215s are the choice in this situation.

215 on an 8" rim?!? What a waste.

[aurelius]

Thanks

[httrdd]

Yea I am going to be running 225s on a 17x7 rim. Flare it out and run 245s! Wheels look great though!

[aurelius]

I'm more about cosmetics over performance at the moment.

This was just a test fit with tyres. Tomorrow I am going to get KYB AGXs because currently the spring rate is too soft. Hopefully that will solve the suspension problem. If there is time, I will roll the guards and get it mounted!

[aurelius]

Rear springs are wrong so that is why it has leb spec angle. New springs Saturday

Car looks great. Like where you are going with this. Very different, just get that thing off the hood!

[Perdue]

Yeah, the hood emblem is the only thing I don't like about this car...otherwise, straight up hot. I don't know that a scooped hood would even improve the looks. I like it as is. Great work!

[chrish8r]

loving that stance.....it looks like its a VIP ride now!!!

[JunkerXL]

looks like a junction produce hood emblem :cool: . i'd keep it for maximum freshness. but if ur gonna rock the hoodie, get a bit more extreme. it's really clean though, dang nice wheel choice :smt023




:smt020

[Tylerhartman]

Nice work, I love it! Ditch the chrome strips just my opinion otherwise looks great.

[arvinlim]

Will be following this thread, we have the same color legacy and body! keep it up! I like your setup!

What is the top wing from? I kinda like it! Have been thinking of doing the same thing on my GT...


Good looking car for sure!

[aurelius]

I returned to this forum to find out my old tyre brand only to see that my thread is still alive! haha

Well this car was sold two months back and I have been taken away into the RWD darkside.

The roof spoiler is off a BMW E36. Minimal work was required to get it fitted.

Looking back, I must agree that the chrome strips and hood ornament should have been taken off but I had to start somewhere. I've learned many lessons from this car and have applied it on my current.
