Difference between MY07 and MY08 Tuned by STi liberty??
 
Can anyone give me the basic guts of what the diferences are between the MY07 and MY08 Tuned by STi Liberty's are.

I have found a MY07 in Qld for good dollars and an MY08 in Vic but there is $8k difference in price with similar Kms.

Just want to know if there is significant differences?

Thanks in advance.

yep spot on Joe

Rexxar 24-11-2008 03:53 PM

mostly cosmetic features..have to agree not worth it imo

Extra colours in 08 - black, silver, grey and white.

Suspension, Brakes, updated tranny shift patterns and STI all over it is worth 8K

Apparently there is unlikely to be an 09 tuned by STI as the libs are getting VDC (if it happens) and that makes suspension and brake changes very costly.

found a silver 08 in NSW for 56k with less than 5000kms...............Hmmmmm

brakes are the same Brembos just painted differently, suspension is exact same bilstein w/ sti pinks, if its a proper 6MT then the tranny is no different either, if its a slush box then dont buy it.

Pinky 24-11-2008 05:30 PM

Do you mean the slushbox is better in the MY07, or do you mean that slushboxes are only for old people / Heather Mills?

;)

Slush Box = Heather Mills

didn't these also have lag/boost issues with MY07 or was it only for GT's and SpecB's

GTLeggy 24-11-2008 07:13 PM

08 has one major feature....resale value ;)

More like a stutter that drives you mad, but a good tune fixes that. Also needs what they are calling the land ring fix but that's a flash fix as well.

I was talking between Non Sti Tuned and Sti Tuned Dave. realise what the 8 K was now - oops

Shane, A fortnight ago there was a Black Pearl GT Spec B 6 speed sedan on carsales in Queensland that was brand new (never registered) but had hail damage for $39,990. You'd have to get some good pics of it or inspect in person but I'd expect no more than $5k to fix it.
Get an exhaust and Ecu-Tek from you know who and you'll be smiling like me.

Mate check out City Subaru- they have a used 07 in there that's been sitting for ages, plus 2 new 08 models sitting in the showroom. I imagine they are very keen to get rid of them!
