http://www.driveshaftspecialist.com/ Around the same price as OEM. But it 3x strong & can be 100% rebuildable for pennies on the dollar. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1387540&postcount=87

All "?" is answered in 1st post. Please read.

I been using Amsoil P.i. Additive. Ever 5k. Still running original fuel delivery system.

Copy/Paste from other threads; This; And this;

I'm still on the original motor & turbo. See sig. below for details:cool:

I wonder sense the IP&T oil like kit is no longer offered. If Bryan honor his warranty using, AMSIOL General Use Dual Remote Oil Bypass Unit Oil System. Like I install back in 2007. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/get-your-oil-filtration-down-2-microns-81741.html Back in 2007 is cost about $250, now it's over $270. Or just change his warranty policy. Still running the original AVCS, Motor & Turbo. Detail in sig. below.

You know this wouldn't happen with a 6MT:rolleyes:

Check PS valve cover. When I had smoke out of my hood scoop. The PS valve cover was dropping on the UP.

My 05 came with the speed sensor. I just left it in & unhooked with no issues for almost 160k.

Surpassed 230k+ on the way home from work, almost 2 weeks ago. Mike

The Dual By-Pass Filtration System add 2qt. to your 5qt.OEM oil system, 2+5=7qts. My LGT uses 2-4 additional qts. of my 15-17k OCI. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/get-your-oil-filtration-down-2-microns-81741.html Mike

All I can say,^^this^^ been working for avg. 15k OCI for almost 200k:cool:

Picked up parts for swap. Copy/paste from other thread; What I swapped, R180 rear diff that matched transmission , 07-09 Spec.B rear axles, rear diff cover & front diff cross member. R160 yoke & rear mounting studs from your old diff. What's different between LGT old rear diff part & R180 (04 STi) swapped part. 07-09 Spec.B Front diff cross member; Steel Vs. AL & has a more room between the top of cross member & bottom of the diff. to keep rear diff knocking to a min. under hard acceleration. 07-09 Spec.B rear axles; Axle input shaft to rear diff is .050 bigger O.D. & .38 longer. 07-09 Spec.B Rear diff cover; Measuring from the bottom of the diff cover to rear mounting studs. The Spec.B measures .12 longer them the 04 STi cover. So if you use the STi cover, the rear of the diff would set .12 higher in rear chassis. Drain plus are different too. R160 yoke & rear mounting studs; To have matching bolt pattern to drive shaft. Rear mounting studs are a good 1" longer then the STi's studs. Mike

Last Friday I ordered parts for R180 rear diff. swap. Used 05 STi R180 (under 60k), new 07-09 Spec.B axles, axle seals, diff. cover & front diff. mount. If parts come in on time. I finely complete my STi drive train swap this coming up weekend. The R160 lasted over 156k of hard driving ( drag strip, & towing 3500lbs & 120 mile daily commute). FYI on 07-09 Spec.B axle owners. I talk to a friend that's part owner of a NAPA store. He called his supplier, They have the axle, but Subaru as not released them to the aftermarket. So they can't sell them to us. You have to go through Subaru. But if you own a pair, Napa can send them in to get re-manufactured. That what I was told. Mike

Corrected part# in 1st. post. For R180 diff mount from the spec B - 41310AG040. There was a "T" where the "G" belongs. Mike

Updated R/H & L/H front axle seals #'s http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2482975&postcount=354

FYI, I have used the 05 STi one for over 155k, with no drive line issues.

DeltaNu1142 , IIRC the only differences mite be is the height. Check the height of the your Group N 5MT tranny mount .vs the STi mount that comes with you kit. If it's taller, you mite have clearance issue between top of trans. & drive line tunnel. Plus you will change your drive shaft pitch. Sorry, sense I didn't use my 5MT Trans. mount. They looked the same to me & went with the STi mount, because it has less movement. Open mouth insert foot. Mike

This, http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l293/HAMMERDOWNGT/Subaru/0804072051.jpg Then yes & your Group N 5MT tranny mount. You can use it too. Sense I only had the OEM 5MT Trans. mount (left). I used the OEM STi mount (right) that came with my swap. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l293/HAMMERDOWNGT/Subaru/0914072340.jpg Mike

From what I read way back when I did my swap. It's both, DCCD is need for 04-05 STI 6MT, because the DCCD is a full electric magnet, wet clutch center diff. 06 & up not needed right away (IMO) do to it's part mechanical & part electric magnet, wet clutch center diff. But neither on was designed to run with out a DCCD controller. Mike

Find the wheel base for the 2011 STi. If it's the some as 05-09 LGT the drive shaft will work. 05-09 LGT 4EAT drive shaft = y" = 62.5 total length. My custom drive shaft is 63" total length Quotes that my help you figure thing out. Mike

You guys are forgetting the differences between the 05 LGT & 05 STi wheel base, IIRC 5". Mike

Info. from ALLDATA. Crank Pulley; Tighten the bolt temporarily with tightening torque of 44 Nm (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft. lbs.). Than re-torque to 132.7

About as much, as I do my mileage :lol:
