Introducing.. MY00 Outback GT STi

[gradg]

Hey Guys,
Bit of background first :)
I started with the subarus in about 2004 i think it was when i built my first RS conversion, then again in 2005 i built another after an old woman hit me.
That one then sadly left us, and i was left with a heap of parts which i sold off and left our shores to snowboard in Japan for a couple of weeks, and it was on this trip that i decided i was going to use a 3GEN outback for my next build, and make it into something VERY different.

Upon my arrival, about a week after i got home i spotted it. For sale in newcastle was the base of what i wanted. A white outback which had the 2 tone painted white (not hte same colour as the body, whoever did the paint)
The front bar was munted, tears in it and paint missing, there was paint missing on most parts of the outback kit and the car in general didn't look fantastic.
I purcahsed the car knowing full well waht was happening to it in the weeks to follow. I had been speaking to Al at AMauto about an engine and driveline conversion and it was decided that V3 STi front to rear was the go, given my budget.

So this is the list at this stage:
MY00 Outback Limited
V3 STi Engine + Driveline
All Outback raising components removed
Lowered 3Gen Liberty Suspension
KYB AGX Front struts w/ King Spring Lows
Strut tower brace
Whiteline H Brace
Whiteline 22mm Front HD Swaybar
Whiteline 20mm Rear HD Swaybar
Power Steering oil cooler
4pot Brakes
3" Turbo back exhaust
ZeroSports Dump
Magnaflow Muffler
Parallel fuel rails
Secondary Bosch 909 pump
Custom FMIC and intake
rotated compressor housing
Full Leather GTB Interior
GTB Bonnet
GTB Wing
Prodrive lightweight rims
Apexi turbo timer
Blitz SBC-ID3 Electronic Boost controller

Pioneer Touch screen DVD w/ ipod control
VDO Front splits
Kicker 2way Rears
Pioneer 2 ways in rear
Cadence 4x50w Amp for speakers
Kicker 500w Mono running 2x 12" Kicker Comp subwoofers

This is how she looked when she came out of Als the first time around....

The car drove reasonably well, but i wasn't happy with how it looked, ghetto front bar and all. So about a year later, the car has recently come back once again from the amauto.com.au workshop, with the new FMIC setup, parallel rails and a bit of paintwork, and i am more than happy with the results.

Big thanks to Al and Miles at AMauto.com.au for their knowledge and understanding and incredilbe standard of workmanship. Its now up to me to tidy up the engine bay a bit. Al has been awesome through the whole process of modifying this car to what it is today.

Update 27th Nov 08:
FINALLY had a win with the repair company after i was hit by yet another woman coming out of a stop/give way sign.

They repaired it, and facelifted it, but neglected to put the matching front bar on. In which case i borrowed a mates facelifted outback for the day and swapped the bars over to make sure, as i was quite certain i was being bullsh*tted to, and i found out that i was.

Along with that, i went for a full body respray, as half of it was being done anyway, and had all the rust removed and thus the bottom half re-colour coded. What a difference fresh paint makes.

So after sorting that out, here it is.

Again, Thanks to Al, adding to the list i'd like to thank Mickey and Anthony, and Marshy at Autocraft in Newcastle.

[Xmetal]

Gonna give it a wash and bit of a polish up over the next couple of days or so, paint a few bits here and there to tidy her up, re spray the manifold and give the interior a damn good clean up. haha.

Then come and see me about some better photos. :D

[mitch]

very nice g, now I hope that you will drive this one with a bit more care :wink:

Tidy job as always Al :tu

[Al [RSLC]]

Also has Bosch 909 external pump, Zerosports dump, apexi "oh crap, there's the cops/RTA" exhaust valve and De-Lifted body mounts.

How did it drive Graham?

[gradg]

very nice g, now I hope that you will drive this one with a bit more care :wink:

Tidy job as always Al :tu

Until you know what actually happened don't go assuming i was driving like a tool.
It's not the case, sure it was my fault, but was not driving erratically at all.

In syaing that, i've been taking care, it got a few squirts here and there on the highway home. Runs really well. Drove well. I got used to the clutch in the end! HAHA oh dear. Going from a 1986 Mitsubishi Colt to one of these isn't the easiest thing to do :P

[naif]

great work Gee,

seen this in the flesh today, its an awsome car, well done and i hope it serves you well.

with a good tidy up and some paint here n there its going to be one HOT car9not that it allready isnt)

once again ive got to give it to Al and Miles on a really quick/clean driveline transplant :D

[gradg]

Made use of the valve goin passed an RBT on the way home... Didn't get a second look. haha. Works a charm.

[yods]

Nice work!

+1 for how's it drive


I'm not sold on the rims yet either...

[nick e[v]ans]

Very nice car mate. Would be great fun to drive, especially after the Colt haha. V3 with DCCD?

You are obligated to post more pics once you clean it up and paint stuff. Let us know how you go painting the manifold too.

[B-rad]

looks farkin mint, something very different i like it two thumbs up!

[Al [RSLC]]

This car looks cool. The Outback flares with lowering and big wheels works really well.
Definitely an option for peeps looking for a later model Liberty. Outbacks are way more common on the 2nd hand market(up here anyway).

[hyde]

Very nice car mate!

The wheels suit it. BUT....these wheels are wayy to common on Subaru's these days! But haven't seen them on any other car?

Post up more pics when ya can!

[Marty]

the moulds on a normal outback look arse but i very much like the resprayed look! looks phat... big mix up of audm and jdm happening there :D

any particular purpose for the power steering cooler? i'm liking that idea after my recent experiences

[gradg]

the wheels are staying, they grew on me quite quickly and with a new set of tyres im not looking at getting rid of them any time soon. I've seen them on a BA XR6 falcon, haven't noticed them on too many Subaru's but im not particularly worried about that.

The cooler was put there to stop the heat wreakign havoc on too many power steering pumps. The tomei headers generating a bit more heat (unshielded, just heat wrapped) and al had experienced pumps breaking down due to the heat in the fluid from the resonant head from all things hot in the engine bay :P Its a safety thing for my pump pretty much, so i dont start posting up a WTB thread every week for another one :D

[i am a RS]

i love you graham ! come pick me up ! ;)

[smoov]

fwoarrr!

I had a feeling you had a gen3, but you just blew me out of the water...

I like it! Colour is great, and colourcoding FTMFW.

I'm a chrome convert, so I'm not exactly a fan of the wheels...but they're growing on me. I must say....damn that car of yours gee reminds me of my old car sooo much. (that's a good thing!)

I love it. Two thumbs up!

[Az]

May I say that the EJ25 that came out is VERY happy in it's new home and runs like a gem.
Thanks gradg. Thanks Al.

[Jaz]

Man, you must have read my mind... then actually carried it out! I was talking about this with Deefa about 6 months ago... nice work!

Almost looks like the rims need 5mm spacers to fill the guards a little more... oh, and I reckon those front bars would look sweet cut out for a front mount :wink:

[Rallyeee]

I don't think you should sell the wheels, you should burn them and then steal smoov's wheels.

How's it go compared to your old wagon? Does it feel heavier, are they even much heavier than a Gen 1 Lib?

Great to see something different, it looks good and I'm sure the sounds and acceleration will turn some heads as it still looks reasonably family wagon spec.

Any plans for suspension upgrades or is that not really what you're doing with it?

[dtrally]

Once you de-lift the body what are the differences with the Outback and a normal gen3? Is it just the flares?
Tell me more about this exhaust valve thingy.

[gradg]

there are a lot of differences as far as suspension and what needs to be done, i think Al is best left to describe what happens there.

As far as upgrades go...
I'm not touching it for quite a while. I went with the V3 STi because everything that i did with my old car (apart from forgies) is all there. FMIC maybe, but its a long way off.
I will be leaving it as is for quite a while. Its running at 16psi and its a fairly strong feeling. I will spend a bit of money on swaybars and strut brace if i can find one that fits and i think that will improve the handiling a great deal, it doesn't handle as well as my old one, but the old one had coilovers and strut braces etc.

The valve in the exhaust works a lot like the butterfly in the throttle body, only the opposite. It is horizontal (when open) and when the level is pulled it closes, dampening the noise, seems to only do anything when fully closed, but even then there is a gap around the butterfly obviously to keep a bit of airflow going.

Wheels stay. If i spend any money it will be on suspension. aside from that, theyre growing on me, and in my eyes suit the car quite well. I was never into big chromies on subarus, but these ones i don't think look too bad, but thats just my opinion, i put hte photos up and of course am open to criticism :) They came with the car, and i dont have the spare cash, so they stay until some 4GEN sti rims come my way. haha.

[Marv]

'Tis beaut. How much work is involved in the "de-lifting"?

I don't mind the design of the wheels, but I just can't cop what heavy wheels do to suspension and brakes. Not that my opinion matters a jot.

Hope you don't miss the Colt too much... :P

[Marty]

it is decided... if anything happens to my GT-b it will be a blue outback with turbo conversion and sti 18"s.... done deal :D

[naif]

here is a link to the exhaust valve (http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_exhaust_detail.asp?id=251&pageNum=1)

[dja]

I approve of this big time, top job there.
Looks the goods and witha v3 im sure it hammers.

[Mickey]

Looks awesome!!

Now for some GTB roof rails, and a rear wing to finish her off ;)

[Bigtim11]

I knew it :P
Nice mate, shame me and leon didnt find this body shell for you! Got any interior pics to post up? All the exterior needs is a bit of a clean up, tidy up the engine bay and its a very nice car, well done, enjoy it!

[SHEPPO3930]

nice car G,

paint the rims black!

[Hodgey]

Well done G. This car definately gets the two thumbs up from me! Thats awesome. Not every day you get chopped by an outback is it! Thankfully now Gradg has put an entire new meaning to that.

[callan_01]

How did i miss this? Hmm maybe dude to me attending GrooveInTheMoo. Graham come show me asap! Or maybe i shall drive out there!

+ 1000000 for painting the rims black!

[DiscostU]

nice i like the outback pumped guards. thumps up

[gradg]

Thanks for all the comments fellas.

Interior pics will come once it gets a damn good clean.

The pumped guards on the outback were what it got me thinking in the first place, its something different.

Mickey - there's a story behind the wing. I bought one, it was even white. Then i called a certain subaru parts dealer, and they told me they had a complete 3GEN GTB tailgate. Including wing, garnish, the lot. So i sold the wing to DAL-11B. Al went to pick up the tailgate and it was for a 2GEN. So im pretty pissed about it. But life goes on.

the intake manifold is coming off (im PLANNING) in two weeks. Hoping to get to the SC cruise this w/e. And it will be repainted, and a few other bits in there painted and tidied up a little to get it looking a little more presentable. The frontbar will come off too and get sent away to be repainted and i will be well on my way to be even more happy with the car.

Once i sort out how to set the boost properly on the ID3 i will be sorted too. It's pulling REALLY hard, but i think once the boost is controlled properly it may squeeze a bit more oomph out of it, at least that was the case i found with the AVCR in my mates forester

[Spitz-RS]

Love it graham, very different ride, awesome!

[evil_rex]

thats mad!

and who said outbacks cant be cool

[rs guy]

looks good and goes good too :D
really a nice tidy package
glad you finally got it back
and thanx for ya help today gee

theres not much to do now :tu

[Tank Subie Wagon]

Looking good G, haha kept your secret for so long, finally done now, looks tops, needs a detail but its just done 900ks so not so hard on ya. boost it up already dont be soft lol.

will have to come have a look soon mate

[Jim]

aha the secrets out , i was actually expecting a fozzy , but this is waay better :D great idea you had there G and even better you got your ideas on the road! Ide have to look twice if i saw that on the road, thumbs up for the sneaky appeal :tu

[Marty]

why the big secret anyways?

[smoov]

why the big secret anyways?
'sif we haven't had enough drama around these parts of late.....

[Mickey]

I might have another gen 3 wing for sale soon.

I'll let you know though.

[Geach]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
that'll look tits when you've done the aforementioned clean up.


Q: you're cruising in your WRX, you think its quick, you pull up at the lights and you ask yourself, what's worse than getting chopped by a granpa lib wagon?

A: Being chopped by a dumped granpa Outback.


Good hunting

[timmo]

nice work there mate,looks awesome i reckon!

rims suit it too.

who would have thought an outback could look that cool?!?!

well done mate,definitely something different. :tu

[Travers]

Well done, looks tops and welcome to the the modded Outback Club! You've got the Outback GTB, I've got the Outback XT.
Awesome, good to see people out there thinking outside the square.

http://www.ozliberty.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2930

[gradg]

Big secret? Hmmm, not so much, i wanted to keep the idea as original as possible. I didn't want to do a big write up about "what should i do now???".

I spoke to Al and made decisions on what he thought would go well, and what was available. I'm ever so glad that it was V3 :D

Only problem now is the outback tacho only goes to 7k....

V3 redline is 8500. haha.

I've been doing quite a bit of driving and it seems the subteltly of the idea is paying off. Whihc im more than happy about :D

Thanks for all the positive commetns fellas. Looking forward to getting it cleaned up over the coming weeks and getting some nice photos up.

Who was the RSLC member at Peppy's this afternoon???

[Karl]

Love it! and i thought they were cars for big familys and the elderly! :)

[Mouse]

nice son i love it....... come pick me up take me for a spin? :P i miss boost :(

[primeevilracing]

nice motor

[PASHN8]

Looks tough! I have been toying with colour coding my OB for some time now, but after I got signage it looks like it will have to wait!

What was involved with lowering it? I have the self levelling rear struts, so apparently I need to switch to normal Liberty struts?
What about de-lifting the body?

Post some clearer pics! :)

[Al [RSLC]]

To delift it you need struts, steering linkage, croosmember bolts front and rear, tailshaft(different centre bearing carrier) and rear bump stops from a liberty. I do not recommend lowering it without de lifting it, it is not a good idea at all.

[dtrally]

Presumably all those bits removed would be sought after for someone wanting to go up in the world.

[vincentvega]

possibly - but they only give you 1" lift which aint a whole lot of difference

[PASHN8]

For some people, a 1inch lift could really change their social life ;)

[d_generate]

V3 STI redline is 7,900, & the tach goes to 9,000, it's not 8,500

[gradg]

Eeeep, sorry d_gen, was going from memory. Need to get my hands on the cluster.

[Al [RSLC]]

Select monitor begs to differ D Gen. It is ~8300 according to it. Probably varies according to how frantic the engine accelleration is though.

No I didn't find this out on your car Graham. :)

[d_generate]

Ahhhh, I'm only going by what is says on the cluster, hits the red at 7,900 but I've taken mine well past that (before I did a big end) & it never seemed to bother it, I rarely go over 7,000 now as it hits peak torque at 4,000

[PASHN8]

Do the EJ25 Gen 3's really fry p/s motors from heat?

[Mickey]

My 2.5 didn't, and I thrashed it :)

[PASHN8]

Well that's what i'm wondering? i'll take preventative measures if it is a serious problem.

[Al [RSLC]]

Yes pump failure is common on gen 3 NA's. Replace oil every ~25k and fit a small finned cooler and it should be fine.

[all paw]

That is unreal... and different.... I'm so jealous


']To delift it you need struts, steering linkage, croosmember bolts front and rear, tailshaft(different centre bearing carrier) and rear bump stops from a liberty. I do not recommend lowering it without de lifting it, it is not a good idea at all.

Al what exactly is involved/has to be done to 'delift' the outback? I'm sick of riding round on stilts

[gradg]

Haha no worries Al, im not that worried about it, it has been running incredibly well.

Painted and fitted the aftermarket grille over the last couple of days, looks a treat. Frontbar/engine bits coming off in the coming weeks to get a tidy up. Should look half respectable when its done :D

[RS 25 WA]

That looks good - just needs bigger wheels/tyres to really fill those guards :tu
Would love to do the same to a Gen 4 Outback :D

[gradg]

New photo courtesy of Alex. Cheers mate.

Frontbar and engine bits coming out in the coming weeks for respray/powdercoating.

[smoov]

you mean this one?:

this car is the hawt. :D
almost makes me wanna go a gen3. ALMOST.

[Al [RSLC]]

Looking good Graham, surprised any people in it yet?

[gradg]

Errr Alex, i added it to the pictures on the FIRST post.... tsk tsk tsk :P

And Al, i haven't, but i made DAMN good use of my "sh*t here come the cops" lever this morning on the great western highway. They were tailgating me hard, saw them coming from about 500m away and ripped it on.... silent cruising :D

I think its too quiet to draw any attention for anyone to line me up. Apart from the BOV of course, i like it that way. I probably just look like a junk mailer with my bonnet ey alex? :D

[RSLegacy90]

im not a huge wagon fan but that is very cool..

best conversion yet i recon, good work

now u need a stormtrooper suit :D

Blue ALDI BOV FTW.

Salt spray coated full JDM purchased and fitted HKS SSQV FTW.

As flattering as that really is, i don't know that i could actually accept it. The car needs a bit of love, and with that, it will be a very tidy example of a unique conversion. As far as i am concerned there are far tidier conversions than this in 1 and 2gen models. Never the less, i do appreciate the comment :)

[Marty]

[nick e[v]ans]

Removed as requested. delete?

[gradg]

Not sure i like the gold...

Im devising a plan as we speak to thief smoov's rims....

[nick e[v]ans]

removed.

[Marty]

isn't everyone? MY01's were the old hawtness, STI 18's are the NEW hawtness

[gradg]

ans']Yeh i'd prefer smoov's rims too, but this thread was at the top of rides and i liked those rims. He had a good angle too. You want me try smoov's rims?

No. I don't have a spare 3-4k. So im not even going to entertain the thought.

MY03's were alwyas hotter than MY01 - especially against white.

[Marty]

a bad chop but you get the idea

[nick e[v]ans]

Oh, was a bit slow checking your answer. Sorry to tempt you with the sexyness of those rims.

ihateyou.

I'm not a major fan of the rim choice threads... So maybe take em down and just keep the actual pics of the car up? :D

It does look tidy, though :P

[evil_rex]

^^^ that looks unreal, one of the best gen3's i have seen....even thought its an outback

[boostbus]

Very tidy job mate. Never considered the outback before but I like something different and it looks so bloody hot right now. Photo chop wheels look awesome but so do the other chromies. Congrats on a tidy job... I want one please santa.

[gradg]

New pictures added to the main page.

[hyde]

So surprised anyone yet that has tried to run you?

[gradg]

1 Foz GT, thats it. Still just getting a pack of tools in their mates VS commodore. I dont even bother.

[mutnose]

Hey mate how does the new muffler sound.

how much did it set you back if you dont mine me asking.

really nice looking and original car youve got, credit to you and AL.

[gradg]

New muffler makes a great difference in sound, its a lot deeper, bit more rumble :D

Thanks for the comments, will PM you re: Muffler.

i reckon you should get these wheels.

[gradg]

smoov. you need V3. Don't be tellin me what i need :P haha.

I can't afford satellite dishes yet.... its on the to do list..... NOT!

[buddylove]

Does this beast still have low range? or beacuse of the new gearbox it cant be used anymore?

[vincentvega]

Does this beast still have low range? or beacuse of the new gearbox it cant be used anymore?

duak range is IN the gearbox, theres no external transfer case like a larger 4x4

[gradg]

No dual range, its running the STi gearbox, the exhaust valve control is now in place where the dual range shifter was.

Im keeping the towbar.... maybe one day, hoping of course it doesn't, it will punch through the radiator of whoever it is riding up my butt in traffic... haha

Very Nice!!!
It is screaming for Brembo's or AP's

[rs guy]

you know i love it man i told you that when we fitted the seat

pure sex :tu

[Mickey]

Looks awesome dude.

Now for some wagon rear seats to match those fronts, and some door trims (sedan trims will fit all doors)

And a wagon wing :p

[naif]

this thing is porn :D

[gradg]

Looks awesome dude.

Now for some wagon rear seats to match those fronts, and some door trims (sedan trims will fit all doors)

And a wagon wing :p

If i could locate any of these parts i'd buy them in a heartbeat :P


Thanks for the comments fellas. Appreciated. Its taken me a year just to get that bloody paintwork done, so it feels great to get it finally painted. Now for a couple of dints to be popped out and some bits and pieces here and there.

Brembos will not be happening. I know the rims make the 4pots look small as, and even as important as brakes are, i just cannot justify $2500 for them.

[Geach]

epic farken win. that is absolutely smoking hot.

i want those rims. there's a set on rexnet at mo, in adelaide too....
...and i've got cash.

but europe calls.

[christuffa]

Ooh I'm all moist and shiz gee...your gen3 makes me porny

Thanks mate, i've always said your comments are much appreciated. Again, coming from someone with a wagon, a white one at that, as tidy as yours, its greatly appreciated. So cheers :)

Buy the wheels. Eff europe. haha

[smoov]

Gee, this is a mudderforken hawt veehickle!

about as hawt as this (http://www.rochardsbunnyranch.com/blog/pictures/thumb-thankyou_01.jpg).


Hang on a second. There's two of them. Two Chicks. Two turbos.

I WIN!

[gradg]

Hahaha. Cheers for that alex :P

Your car might be just as hawt as that picture..... if it had one less turbo.

[gradg]

Updated pics/mods/situation in first post.

[Rob]

even more hotterer than before, great job mate!!

[CRUISN]

Looks sensational!

Love the colorcoded outback look.

IMO, black rims would look a treat.

[Mickey]

Looks good G.

Just needs the GTB rails fitted!

[Hodgey]

This car is a credit to yourself Gradg, and Al for all the mechanical work. It is a truly amazing looking Outback!

Keep up the good work mate.

[smoov]

Gee.




This thing is sensational.




Truly a beautiful car. It has come a long, long way :)

[bosc0]

i want to sex that interior :)

Nice work bro.... will 22's fit?

[gradg]

Thanks fellas, much appreciated, and Jake, i doubt it :P it'd take some body work that im not prepared to fork out for thats for sure. Besides i don't think i'd find a wheel that i was happy with in a 22 :P

[sti_02]

Looks good.

Just needs the GTB rails fitted!

X 2

The GTB rails will make it look even better

This is just a matter of finding the crossbars to suit, as i need the rails to house a bike carrier, in the process of tracking them down as im pretty sure theyre not the same as the AUDM cross bars. got a set of GTB rails sitting here waiting :D

Appreciate that Ben, cheers, although its a big call with some of the 3GEN showcars getting about!

I had a look at those rails the other day too, seems theres a little shelf they latch on to, so the std bars MAY fit?

Keep me posted via pm with whatchoo got.
