awesome looking car What does it say in the center piece on yours? SUBARU or LIBERTY or LEGACY or what?

Sierra Vista? Wow, glad she got out of that little town ...not that Tucson is much better

Thanks for the quick response, I think I've finally sourced my pieces for the tail lights from a friend in Australia, yay! I'll post pics eventually.

Nice ride.

Lots of subbies here & across in Aussie.
We 4 call our ourselves ' The DIY Mod Squad' get together every second
weekend & muck around, last week we put a front under brace on a GTB
wagon.... like anything lots of groaning & swearing!!!!!!! as the bolts were
tight & the week before that we put a back rear sway bar on another
subbie.... this week end new front brakes & oil ... never ending & we are
busy as!! Last weekend we finished our day with a bbq & caught up
with a matie who now lives in Ohio & is visiting family here.

Pic ...wife on the left... & our three members yes we have a nice girl
in our group

never been abroad...but I feel out of place here with my Legacy. I wanna go someplace where they're everywhere!

My 'beast' didn't come with a strut brace, but I've got an aftermarket whiteline one on there...good stuff.

If only they made that twin-turbo engine for LHD vehicles... I'd import one from AU or NZ in a second!

I wonder how far you'd have to move that passenger-side turbo to make it a LHD engine... seems like only the steering column would give you trouble, and perhaps a few fluids bottles.

BTW is that intercooler painted???
