Looks great mate, it's amazing how those wheels look better on the cars they weren't designed to go on, or maybe it's just the dark blue:-D

Great job on the paint. Agreed with the comments on the wheels - these are my favorite OEM Subaru wheel. I was so heartbroken having to take mine off my Legacy (didn't clear the 4pot calipers I upgraded to).

Thanks Mark. I like the colour, but the quality isn't perfect up close.

The gear box is going great so far. Alittle whine in low range and little stiff in the changes. I think the stiffness is due to not having a outback/forester shifter. Shifter not set low enough.

Thanks Andrew, Like i said a couple of post back, the paint job not perfect up close. I need to sand the clear more. It was only a quick job to make it look better for the roadworthy and make it my colour. LOL.
The wheels are my fav of all the subaru wheels also.
Now has Gt forester seat backs in the car. There is a reason for only the backs used. Will explain when pic goes up.

As said earlier on, a couple of posts back. I have put GT forester seat backs on the Gen 2 base. There is a reason. To make the forester seats fit the M.Y. fast, the tracks were basically, messed up. So not able to reuse. So we thought , lets see if the forester backs, fit the gen 2 seat. They did, so in they went. Now to , in the future, trim the seat backs to suit the car.
I have said in passing , on this tread, i have a liberty shift set in the out back. It don't work real well, as expected. Until now. Steve made a few adjustments and BINGO. Working.

He Bennie,
I like them. They are one of the nicest seats i have sat in. Even over long distance , i don't get the strain in the back from sitting for a long time. Now in saying that, i haven't had alot of experience across a large range of cars , so i can only speak from personal experience.

How do they go in terms of keeping you in tight when the road gets bendy? I tend to slide around a bit in my outback seats...

They do very well for me. Then again, i fill out the seat to the edge, middle age spread. LOL. When i had them in the M.Y. they worked well in the bush. Kept me contained well , so i could concentrate on where i was going, instead of trying to stay in my seat.

I have the same drivers seat in my lib. I have done a heap of long trips in it and they are much more comfortable than the stock liberty seat.
The armrest is also great for long trips

I'm back on the road. I put a turbo impreza box in and changed diff ratio's to suit 4:11.
But i changed my mind. Went for the same as i had . Dual range 3:9 ratio. I think i would have missed the D/R.
Many thanks to Jeff for all the help in finding the items.
