[Mister Two]

Was wondering when you'd put this up in the members rides section...

One of the best RS Libs in WA.


06 Lib wheels make the car look a little more subdued, but It still looks very good and adds to the sleeper value. Plus so many RS Libs have WRX 17s. This is something a little different.

I say stick with the 06 Liberty wheels.


Get some dark tints. that'll nicely finish off the exterior look.

[niterida]

turbo is definitely too small - get a good one on there and see what she will really do............

[Mickey]

Very very clean looking RS dude.

I remember seeing it on the road when I was in Perth!

[d_generate]

HAHAHAHAHA all that money & it only "just" beats my stocko 2L top mounted V3 STI, good fun having a blast around that "race track" yesterday Sammy.

[Marv]

Wow. Muchos kilowattos, amigo.

Top sh1t!

[Jarrod|crzyrs|]

the WRX rims do look more aggresive but the liberty's are something different. stick with them. you've got one ace car there.

[magicsun]

I love that car. congrats on a sweet ride mate

[SUBERB]

Yeh i love it too! Looks hot!

[seagull]

what give my 1960 vw bug a run Sam ? I give you a head start mate

seagull

[Mouse]

very nice ride mate. looks hot as :tu:

[mitch]

very nice mate, but I think that you should have kept the spoiler :)

[mitcho]

no way spoilers look silly.

your car looks mint sam.

[xeon]

Thanks for the comments guys :)

I put the spoiler back on last night just to see what it would look like, didn't even bother screwing it in before taking it off again! Looked alright with the WRX wheels but it doesn't really go with the Liberty wheels at all... destroys the smooth sleeper look :wink:

[thelegacy]

HAHAHAHAHA all that money & it only "just" beats my stocko 2L top mounted V3 STI, good fun having a blast around that "race track" yesterday Sammy.

Can't help yourself can you Tom, what do you mean it only just beats you...

Righto you 2 off to the track you go....lol...

Sam, I prefer the WRX wheels, make the car more aggressive, but that's only my opinion, was still puffing some smoke on the cruise on Sunday!!!

She's looking good..

[d_generate]

Remember I mentioned on the phone about putting the extra olive in the turbo line..........gone from 1bar to 1.4 - 1.5 >>>>> Boost, cheapest mod I've ever made & I reckon it's added 20kw nyuk nyuk nyuk. Prolly Kill it again but it's only money, when I gave Sam a few runs on Sun Just after I put it in (1 min to do or undo) it was boosting to about 1.3 but took it for a quick squirt last night & in the cold it was close to 1.5, you can really feel the difference.

[xeon]

Updated first post with new pics and details :)

[Mister Two]

engine bay pics NOW!

[nick e[v]ans]

Haha nice, outside the sti dealer. I rikey. Have you got a power figure or estimate for it? Would love to know what the heads flow like on a 2.5.

PS. i have your grill :)

[Elliot KB]

Coming soon:

Looks Hot Sam!!

Time for cruise i recon!!

[xeon]

Thanks guys.

nick, currently only making 194kw atw... Hoping new cams and headers will open it up a lot. I'm aiming in the 220 - 230kw region *fingers crossed*

Elliot, suspension and wheels are next after the cams and headers go in. I have got myself some 16" wheels with R-Comps so i'm keen to see how it goes on the track! The close ratio 6 speed is amazing and should allow me to stay on the power :D

[sik_rs]

[d_generate]

HaHa, Sam & I will HAMMER YOU.......................well Sam might, with that new intake & all the boost leaks fixed I'm going to have to take the extra olive out, boost cut came on for the first time ever on the way down south......

Thread updated :)

[502SLO]

Hat's off to you there my friend, one very nice RS with plenty of good gear.

[Mister Two]

MeanRS FTW! My favourite RS besides my own :p

[sooobi]

Nice car.. nice photos too.. well done..

[kezza]

really really beautiful rs, you have the best taste in rims and exterior mods, looks...as i said beautiful!

[dtrally]

you have the best taste in rims and exterior mods,

He had planned on fitting some 14" Chrome rims, Hi Jacker shocks, bubble back windows, getting the bonnet louvred, custom trans am front headlight conversion, Double sunroof with an Eagle on it, Airbrushed 'maiden wrapped in snakes' mural, BF Goodrich T/A tyres,..........
Oh, hang on, that was Sam's last car, HJ Holden Sandman. :P

[nick e[v]ans]

CR Kai copies are sex. What rubber you got on em? Looks sticky.

[xeon]

Bridgestone RE070.... sticky as. Does good skids :wink:

[Marv]

Oh hell yes, Sam this is one bloody mint car! Bring it to the next National Meet so you and Adrianvos can have red 2.5 6MT battles! :P

PS: I want your tyres. :D

[xeon]

Oh hell yes, Sam this is one bloody mint car! Bring it to the next National Meet so you and Adrianvos can have red 2.5 6MT battles! :P

That's the plan Marv! Can't wait :D

[AndrewT]

Nice car, but not so nice driving anticts.

The missus and I were on the freeway cruising south over the bridge the other night (the 80km/h dogleg bit near the convention centre). We were in the middle lane going exactly 80, I was especially conscious of this fact due to it being double demerits. There was another car sitting in the outside lane just ahead of me also doing approx 80.

MEANRS shot up past me in the outside lane at easily about 100km/h then darted across in front of me very close to both the front of my car and the rear of the other.
Didn't even indicate.

It's not a ****ing race track mate, grow up.

That is all.

[mitch]

Nice work sam, should have gone 18 works though. XT7's are better :D

[d_generate]

Maybe young Sammy needs to change the plates to ME AN RSE.

My son actually bought those plates when he owned it and forgot to put a space between the MEAN & RS...........Dick.

[fielding]

Very very nice indeed!!

Quick question did you get the front lip here in the west?

Fair go mate!

I remember this incident... you were in a WRX of some description? We had been driving along the freeway for a significant period of time in close proximity. The speed limit in that section is 80km/h but the car in front of me had been consistently alternating between 70 - 80k ever since I approached it from behind (I had been going 80k on the dot) and should not have been in the right hand lane. As we approach the bridge the car in front hits 70km/h and slowing further, you also slow down to 70k so fortunately there is still a reasonable gap in front of you. As we go up the bridge, I speed up, indicate to overtake, pull out, and once safely in front, slowed down again. Accelerating meant I was no way near either car.

This is aimed more at the driver of the car in front rather than you but it deeply irritates me when people fail to maintain a CONSTANT speed in cars which are perfectly capable of it... even on minor hills etc! And this is while they are in the right hand lane of 3 - 5? lane freeway! I know that you were just keeping speed with the other cars around you and that the other side of that bridge can be a police hot spot but double demerits should mean (when conditions are optimal as they were) that we drive to the speed limit, not below it for no reason!

I may not have needed to accelerate in normal circumstances and i'm sorry you are offended by my driving but I feel my actions justified given the situation.

[seagull]

Pm sent Andrew

back again , your mail box is full ?

worked it out

[seagull]

I think your were lucky as well Andrew

[AndrewT]

No I wasn't in a wrx, you most likely didn't pay me much attention.

Your actions could have been justified if you were driving a pregnant partner to the hospital or something like that. If somebody is going slow, a reasonable person would simply wait for a safe opportunity to overtake, not dart infront of other drivers.

I get annoyed with people doing what that other car did too, but that's all, it annoys me. It's an extremely common occurance and I just deal with it. I don't act like a cock and cut infront of other people to somehow rectify the situation.

Lets leave it at that I guess, each to their own, agree to disagree. I'm sure everyone you encounter on the road just loves your driving style and most driving instructors would also agree your actions were completely justified.


*edit - Seagull I didn't get a PM from you ? My box hasn't been full recently that I'm aware of.

[_ShadowZ]

Can't really blame sam.
It's genetic. both him and his dad were born with a defect of lead feet.
Tho I think his dad goes harder.
HAHAHAHA

how ya going sam? any mods on the way?
you ever going to be as fast as the Wilson brothers?

[Levans]

The black Lib would go even harder with a genuine RS rear skirt hey Sam... ;) lol

[xeon]

Lets leave it at that I guess, each to their own, agree to disagree. I'm sure everyone you encounter on the road just loves your driving style and most driving instructors would also agree your actions were completely justified.

Couldn't you see my pregnant partner in the passengers seat?? :eek: You know, my driving instructor always told me to shuffle my hands on the steering wheel while turning... fat chance! I don't tend to have many issues while driving as I stick to the appropriate limits etc but I guess since the majority of Perth drivers have their heads in the clouds they probably don't even see me. I would certainly not call myself an aggressive driver, unlike my Dad! :P But anyway, you can now be glad to have that off your chest AndrewT and my apologies once again.

Dean, pffft Wilson brothers! :wink:

Ludwig helped me fit a DCCDPro Deluxe Controller on the weekend, we mounted a cluster of LEDS in the centre console to show the output and it looks awesome. I have to wait for Jeff to send me a reprogrammed DCCD controller chip for the reverse TPS polarity though as the DCCD controller is designed for newer WRXs with the revised TPS/inlet manifold.

Just got some shafts for my R180 thanks to Doug so now I just need to fetch some R180 rear hubs and I'll be able to stop flogging Brend0's old RS R160 diff (haha just kidding Brendan!).

Lee, black RS isn't running right now, bloody eBay spec radiator decided to have a core failure so i'm waiting on a replacement. Rear skirt would be nice though!

And in the longer term.... My new build slowly continues. Watch out Wilson brothers!

[richo_best_ozlib]

What are you doing with the current motor ? Parting or dropping it in the black slurrtttt?

[Mister Two]

What are you doing with the current motor ? Parting or dropping it in the black slurrtttt?


Im gonna take it assuming the price is right :p

[xeon]

Thanks to Doug and Ludwig's efforts today, I am now sporting a Helical R180 rear diff. Thanks guys! :)

Hopefully I can get the TD06-20G turbo I bought off Bazza into the car in the next couple of weeks... Can't wait :D

[easytiger]

This thing is jaw-droppingly good.
Sam, where'd you get your UEL headers and how much?
Do you rate them?

[KOS!]

Where'd you get the wheels from / how much did they cost? Been looking at some nice works for awhlie :)

[xeon]

This thing is jaw-droppingly good.
Sam, where'd you get your UEL headers and how much?
Do you rate them?I got the headers from Troy at ProSpeed Racing a couple of years ago now. Looks like he doesn't sell the GT Spec ones anymore but the Hypertec seem to be the same design. Think I paid $1200 including the heat coating :eek:. They are worthwhile on my 2.5 but I wouldn't have bothered if I still had my 2L.

Where'd you get the wheels from / how much did they cost? Been looking at some nice works for awhlie :)I picked up the wheels second hand off a forum member and never investigated who made them until yesterday when I had the wheels off. They appear to be Rota Torque, I don't know any shops you can buy them locally but have seen them on eBay for $1100 - $1200 + they clear Brembos! :D

[xeon]

First post updated with new turbo/power figures :D

[RSTurbo]

got pics of dyno sheets to put up xeon?
nice figures by the way :tu

[likenother]

Looking good sam :D :tu

[xeon]

Don't have a scanner so I took this with my digital camera.

Power curve is very similar to my TD05H-20G just with more torque and horsepower all across the graph. Still dies in the ass in the top end too unfortunately but very streetable.

I have a 25G wheel and front housing here as well but thought it might be a bit laggy for the street on my current 2.5 with no AVCS etc so decided not to put it on.

Nice work mate.

Just for interest sake the 25G was only about 200-300 rpm laggier but fark a duck the top end was GT35R spec!

[[MARZS]]

That wouldn't be doug's wagon would it???

[richo_best_ozlib]

That didn't take long to get some mods in the wags!

[Hodgey]

Sam, nice update, but stick the 25g on. You won't be disappointed, trust me!!!

Nice power update though, and love the new daily driver, wish I had a similar setup on the daily hahaha

[xeon]

Marcel, yeah I bought the wags off Doug, snapped it up as soon as he mentioned he may want to sell it!

Damnit Bazza and Hodgey, I was trying to be sensible! Now I'm itching to put the 25G on! When will it end.... haha :D

What about longevity of the motor considering all its got is forged pistons? I assume the 25G would take me up to 270 - 280kw or something? I need this motor to be in working order so I can sell it when my new build is completed! :rolleyes:

[xeon]

Thanks to Mister Two for giving me the heads up on these earlier today. Picked them up for a steal on Perth-WRX. I loved my last set of Bridgestone Potenza RE070 but almost ended up turning them into slicks, lets see how long these ones last :D

http://xeon.waserverhosting.com/meanrs/RE070_small.JPG

[xeon]

Well I finally got rid of the Bosch coils as they were sh*tting me! Haven't been able to drive MEANRS for yonks as it was hesitating, misfiring, running on 3 cylinders all the time etc...

Tried new plugs, leads, cleaned connectors, checked wiring, AFM etc etc but all to no avail.

So I bit the bullet and ordered some FK0186 GD STI coils (coil on plug) and got Doug to help me install today..... so far, so good! *fingers crossed* Very easy to install following instructions I found on this forum and much cleaner in the engine bay than the HEC716s!

I have a really good source for the GD coil packs if anyone else is interested in doing the conversion... about $135 shipped from Japan for a set of 4 and came in less than a week.

Someones dump truck is missing a turbo...............that's farkn huge.

[dtrally]

Much lol's :D

I had the seat up for the first shot but it was resting precariously on the porcelain. I didn't want to explain to Sam that his new turbo was accidentally dunked in the can in an attemted pisstake at Tino's bathroom spec pics. :redface:

Hey sam do you get any issues running a mister two powered liberty? ive heard that motor gets a little slack :P

[jimki]

Even with a “mister two power plant” you can’t even park with out hitting the curbs
Sam remember the BP incident???

Looks good Sam :cool:
