I don't think RS has much longer to live. :(

I always check in here, the facebook site is just .... beyond me i guess, doesn't make it easy to find things, i have it book marked but this forum is the one to go to.

[Marty]

The fact more than a few of us found this thread via a Facebook link probably tells the story. There's also shiiieeeetttloads more content out there to 'consume' (i hate that word) When i joined (03 i think, 100th member) you could hardly watch a video online and youtube was still 3 years away.

Not sure who's paying the server bills but hopefully it's managed so that it can stay around for a while yet, we lost 3 years of the MCM forum because an admin pressed the wrong button, can happen that quick and boom there goes a bucket load of resources.

Drove my wagon today. So good.

still lurking here quite a bit, allot of the posting is on facey these days as you all know. Sort of Sad to think of this place as inactive, use to be a bunch of fun.

[jimmyg]

Yep.

[george|rst|]

I'm always floating around the site and checking up on how its all going.

I took the RS out for the MCM day at Winton recently and she still runs like a dream, its crazy to think that mine and Jake's RS started this forum nearly 15 years ago.....time sure does fly.

Thanks for coming up man! Was a good day.

I didn't fund the link, I was just chilling and thought, what was the RS forum up to and spotted this thread.

Good to see that the forum is still around, but I miss Reggie's banter, Hendo's cliff notes, Billsy's left field craziness.

BTW Marty did you post build pics of the conversion you did in Al's shed with BenTZ (Mechanical Stig aka Benny)???

Too busy jerkin it to check the forums. I mean... fuck.

[jimmyg]

Well I'm here and on performance forums till the end of time. FB can ead.

[flash]

my RS is still a virgin, it pulls harder than a 15 yr old boy.
I love the bitch..

[El_Freddo]

the sad thing is that since subaru discontinued the RS liberty/legacy, the fan base will drop. newer cars will entice drivers jumping ships. I dont blame them all those creature comforts and now safety specs (airbags, blindspot, reverse camera etc etc) also with the P plates law and anti hooning we hear from the media.

i sold my RS subby and now drive a SUV as i am now a family man. Those rock hard suspension and loud exhaust doesn't cut for the family. I did move myself to an audi q5 as it is affordable and has grunt, the quality over a jap car can be night and day after 10 years. But im sure that is another debate.

anyways i came here as i found a part in my drawer to sell, as the last time i've logged was more than 2 years ago. and i will probably login again in year 2019.

[Billsy]

its a bit like that, i check a few times a month to see whats happening, though i still always come here first when hunting for information.
Facebook as killed the forums. but you cant search facebook.

[Raz]

I come and go every few days to check on moderated posts...and the occasional reminisce!

[Rximpreza]

I still lurk around the forum every couple of months.. there are still a few nice libs and OG members around Canberra, but i keep touch with quite a few of you blokes over on PF.

[Tank Subie Wagon]

Haven't been on here in a long time......

I have still got my RS sitting in shed behind a few other toys. But the urge to overhaul and bring it back to its former glory is growing.

Happy to chip in some money to donate to keeping forum live. There is a lot of info that has helped out many over the years.

Is there any national meet on the radar? Miss the old rs lib cruise videos!

[flash]

my RS will never die, sites might come and go that's a shame
iam still spending $$ on a new 2.35 700hp plus motor full on top quality parts and I will have a spare 2.5 motor in the ready
hoping the be the fist to crack a flat 10sec or better
bring on heaps of boost....

Bumping an old thread (and posting for the first time in a few years), I still pop in here every now and then.

There is a mint RS Wagon (white with gold wheels) that is around my new house, reminds me of my old bus (miss that thing). Some bloody good times had with the RS Crew.

[jimmyg]

Black spur is a holiday retreat for TOG now. Lol

[El_Freddo]

Four new posts this visit. Still some sort of a pulse there!

We need more projects being documented on here, and not on bookface or instaphragm..

[jimmyg]

That put the final nail in the coffin so many forum's. Glad RS lived to fight another day.

[El_Freddo]

ever since rip off bucket stopped free hosting pics i don't post up much anymore...

I thought they reversed that decision and now place that watermark on all hosted images...

+1 ..and if there is ever any need of some cash to support/maintain the site and its wealth of info, I'm sure pretty much all of us would be happy to fork out!
