If an RX Impreza has a 2.0L NA an a WRX has a 2.0L Turbo, what does the 'W' stand for......Wurbo?

Stands for "Would rather be in a liberty"

[RSTurbo]

geeez thats a hot car....

[Legacy555]

thats a sexy car :D

[callan_01]

Stands for "Would rather be in a liberty"

agreed.

hot liberty by the way!

[Cruisin92]

That car, as a wagon, in charcoal, lowered 1.5" all round, 2.5" exhaust.......

Time to stop dreaming lol


However I dont quite see where the extra $10,000 is..... main difference is ecu tune and wheels......... wheres the rest?

[hendo]

Brembo's? Suspension?

[Cruisin92]

Suspension was supposed to be on that list...... didnt realise it had Brembos though

[callan_01]

I thought the extra 10 K was very resonable. Those STi exhausts cost a shitload, brembos cost heaps, and i imagine it would be the same for the new ECU!

[rs guy]

thats SEX :eek:

pure SEX :D

[Bazza]

That's awesome... kinda of a a big fkU to the new Impreza WRX (cough *hahahahahaha* cough).

That is such a nice looking car.

I wonder if it has the VF39 and 6 speed?

[Marv]

I wonder if it's got the chronic build quality problems of the other new Libertys? *cough*3.0RB oil leaks & appetite for engines*cough*

In general, it leaves me yawning.

[93GTLegacy]

Iain Iain Iain.... once again we are like 2 negatively charged ions... :D (NERD! thought I'd get that one early hehehe)
As some may know the RS is going up for sale soon and I seriously think that I have found it's replacement... Yes, it seems a little exxy but it's stock, it's a liberty, it's new and it has a warranty :)
New year present to self, here i come :)

[dja]

93GT, fkucen buy one mate. that is an awesome car.
I dont know what the hell the wrx designers were thinking, but the Liberty guys have done us proud...

[93GTLegacy]

Now comes the long wait :( I have to find a house to buy at the same time. Not an easy task at the moment. Everyone is asking gheyly high prices for overvalued properties...can't wait, I want the new Lib :'(

Yep, I'm with you. Double dreamin!!!

It has a twinscroll td04. :eek:

It is down on torque on the series 1 gen 4 2.0L with the vf38. And even though it has a 2.5L the new STI lib produces torque later on the rev range than the old 2.0L.


But yes it has the really strong STI 6MT but no DCCD.

Its a good value car ove all, but $10K for brembos and different struts and springs? I dunno if that upgrade is worth $10K.

Though it does look hawt! :D

[B.C]

i agree it does look hotter than normal gt-b, but not 10grand hotter

[Huffy Tuff]

thats hawt! any1 seriously looking at getting 1?

[BJM]

Anyone else actually seen one yet???

/ goes off to change my pants... and to get a wet cloth

That is one sexy looking beast!

[smoov]

Yes, it appears Brembos do fit under them. :D

A slightly different shade of "charcoal" to my wheels, however. These are lighter...

And those STi wheelnuts cost a bomb too!!

*drool*

[mitch]

And those STi wheelnuts cost a bomb too!!


only because they say STI on them! Very very very nice though!

[93GTLegacy]

Yep!
I'm buying a property either at xmas or new yaer, and part of the dealio (with SWMBO) is that I get one of these puppies :)

[smoov]

only because they say STI on them! Very very very nice though!
they're also good in that each one is a "lock" nut... :D

enough talk about nuts now...!

[moggy]

It's a nice looking motor, Denlo Subaru in Paramatta have one in their showroom. I was in there on Thursday putting down a deposit on a MY 07 GT spec B sedan and actually got to sit in the beast. The wheels look awesome and if I had had an extra 10 grand I would have gone for the STi. :D

[Bazza]

STIGT... STIG... I like :) Hope Top Gear reviews it.

[legman]

one day!!!!!!! a wagon for sure

maybe in 5 years

[american dave]

Just joined up because I am close to doing swap of MY06 STI for the OPB Libo GT Spec B Tuned by STI. My plans are to drop in a VF38 twin scroll and dump pipe then re-flash of ecu!

Dealer rang me today and said the car has arrived, black manual Libo GT Spec B STI - damn that's a long name for a freakin car! Anyway I am going tomorrow to drive it and then make a decision on trade. I love my STI and it drives like a rocket but it's time for a new car and I reckon this may just be the next one! I will report back on my impression.

[american dave]

ok guys just got back from city subaru, they let me drive the libo tuned by sti and I must say it's a great car! Very hot looking with the gunmetal rims on black. It felt pretty strong in terms of torque while the suspension set up is somewhere between the GT Spec B and WRX STI - firm but not as firm as my STI. It has a nice rumble with just the stock pipe - two twin pipes. the inside is well luxury, leather electric seats with memory, sunroof, si-drive, climate control, 14 speaker macintosh stereo, etc...very roomy and comfortable to drive but not too comfortable! Brembos are the same exact ones as mine, gear ratios feel a little different but didn't have to do any searching, gearing down so they def got the ecu right, it's a lot heavier but all in all very very sweat, under the bonnet it looks like vw gti with plastic cover over everything but did have a look at dump pipe and peep at TD04.

Now for the down side. They want $75,449 for which includes farkin luxury tax of $2645, stamp duty of $4289, rego $535, and stealer delivery of $1990.

Sorry but aint no way in hell I am spending that much on this Suby. Better off just buying the GT Spec B which gets under the luxury tax threashold and spending the substantial difference on mods I reckon.

[Mouse]

but the sti spec one is so damn sexy

[BJM]

did have a look at dump pipe and peep at TD04.

Are you serious... They must really be leaning on it to get that sort of power out of a TD04...

[american dave]

It's damn quick considering how much it weights compared to my STI. Not laggy at all compared to my STI in stock form. Still not worth the $$ they are asking though. Hell if I am going to spend that sort of $$ then may as well wait for EVO X or spend another $40K and get the new Skyline in 2009!

[callan_01]

i will be driving one of these,












one day.

Really? A mate of mine tried to buy one (a GT spec B)last year and because he works for the Gov't it had to be under the luxury car tax to lease it. City's couldn't make it happen even with a "I'll give you the rest in cash" offer :confused: Sadly he bought a Volkswagen instead :td Maybe the price has come down a bit, or they've dropped some of the O.R.Costs since?
Dave, buy the Black STi wagon and I'll buy it off you at the end of the lease if you look after it :D

No interest in a wagon mate, $62100 is the luxury tax threashold so it's not like the Libo STI is just $10K more than the std Libo GT SPec B - try $13K on road. I lease my vehicle using novated lease so best bet for me is lease the GT Spec B and then buy mods, rims, zorst, reflash of ecu, and maybe a VF38 to replace the TD04. This would still be way under the price City Subaru offered of $75,500. I have a few camera pics of under the bonnet etc of the STI version and will post.

[RoBbO]

my dad's looking at a new car and he usually goes for the AWD performance cars.... not too much of a carnut though... just likes comfort and some performance...

so i've been trying to talk him into getting one of these!! maybe be slighty above what he wants to spend though :(
