Jack's RS Driveway
 

After owning my car for over 9 months now and playing around with it here and there and finally getting around to getting some pics of her, I've finally been able to get this going.

It all started when i bought my first 92 Liberty RS being and i loved driving it and getting it ready to hit the track. A few of you would probably know it. Unfortunately after about 6 months of having it she became a repairable write-off like this:

It was a sad day, but i bought her back off the insurance company and used her as a parts car for the new 92 RS. I bought her completely stock with a bit of rust and some nice 17" Speedlines at around 270,000 kms:

Over the 9 months i've owned her i've added bits and pieces to her and its been great fun. The parts list is as follows:

It still runs the WAIC and i have no desire to change at this stage. Standard Turbo.

Excedy standard single plate clutch.
Standard rear diff.

Exterior: The exterior is in fairly good shape, rust spots here and there and well as chipped paint and clear coat coming off.
She came with stickers on the doors and Sti stickers on making an appearance on every side of the car, whether she is an Sti though is yet to be proven.
Window tint was done with tint a car's octane tint all round.

Interior: Gc8 Sti front seats have replaced the stock ones.

Might do Anti-lag and rotational idle with the link ecu if i can.

So yeah, thats the car and the plans, if you see me driving around feel free to wave or make noise as you drive by :P

Always love to watch an RS build, I owned a 95 LX lib back in the day and it always has a spot in my heart.

Nice one mate good to see another RS around not many goods one out there anymore.

nice car dude! nice to see some RS' still around! all the best for the future build!

RS 4 Life:)

Update:

Over some time i have been doing little bits and pieces to the RS like adding the rear swaybar and swapping out the rear hub swaybar arms to fit the swaybar, here is a cpouple of pics of it in.

Hey JFirth94,
nice looking car mate, im struggling to find any sort of upgrades for my Lib, how would i go about getting the swaybars, engine parts (without hybriding it w/ a wrx)?
Especially looking for the equal headers...

I'm not too sure as most of my upgrades came off my wrecked rs, but swaybars and strut braces should be available locally at places like pedders, if you want equal length headers i do have some i don't want, they do run close to some wiring under the radiator so you'd probably need to wrap them or move the wiring.

How many kms have they done? Stainless Steel? Would the turbo outlet be the same as my TD05H?

They haven't done many kms, though they do have some heat colour in them, and the up pipie housing to turbo is the standard housing
