Hey guys,

I've actually had this for about 5 weeks now, but haven't really gotten around to making a post as I've been working away alot. But finally have had some time this afternoon to give it a service and freshly debadge it. I've owned 3 libertys in the past, first one being TJ's ex-maroon sedan, second being my beloved g1s1 wagon which unfortunately was written off, and thirdly my g1s2 wagon - which after the clutch begun to slip I was over it and in need for a change. I picked this up for 22k. 127,000kms and FSH from a Plant Mechanic who apparently worked on Atlas Copco gear. It was barely driven and he'd only had it a few months, as he barely had any time to drive it. Needless to say it's immaculate.

Basically stock aside from:

18x8 Rota Grids.
3" TBE.
Tein Super Street Coilovers.
Verso Tune, MAC Boost Solenoid. Dyno sheet stipulates it was tuned to 270awhp - ASG.
Full-Faced Exedy HD Clutch.
2 DIN Pioneer DVD Head Unit.
Ultrex Strutbrace

I'm just enjoying how it is, but when time and funds are permissible I'd like to take the 207 out and smash some cams in it coupled with some headwork, EL headers, decap the 440's or put something bigger in - and then see how much headroom I've got with the VF35. I'm not really looking for top-end power. The onset of the boost curve is great at the moment. On boost at roughly 3000rpm, and coupled with the 6 speed it's a drastic change from the 4.44 5 speed I had in the liberty.

I've got a 22mm front + 27mm rear swaybar to throw at it when I've got the chance.

RUSSGT, Ko[R]uPt, monkeee and 3 others like this.

Looks the goods mate, those rotas look like they are at least 9" or they have some crazy offset... I like poke!

Looks great. What width Tyres do you have?

27mm rear bar is really big too. Standard upgrade combo is closer to 24 front and 22 rear I thought. 27 may have the rear braking loose.

i'm actually not sure of the offset but i'll have to measure them. i'm running 235/40s. they're a bit stretched but not too ridiculous. and the guards are rolled both F+R. i've still got receipts for the 27mm as i think it would promote oversteer a little bit too much
