Spotted this guy NB on the GSP this morning around 9:30ish, just past Kenilworth. Check out that wing...

 

Was it you, LGT-NY???

Spotted '09 PZEV in QSM around 2:30ish yesterday on the GSP heading south out of the Essex toll plaza. Young couple, CT plates. Wanted to wave, but ...

Nah, that was a guy named dave who used to work out of Lee's side of the garage. He hasn't been seen or heard from in about 2 years.

I spotted myself on the GSP this morning going NB to 153. So I must still be around

Yeah, it seems indeed 04-05 WRX R160 rear diff would work. 3.90 ratio, LSD.

 

Negatory. USDM MY04-5 WRX rear diff has a 3.54 ratio while the front diff is 3.90. The transmission includes a 1:1.1 transfer gear connected to the center diff that only affects the rear driveshaft.

 

If you're going to use a USDM WRX rear diff, you have to get a new R&P. Otherwise, you can source a USDM '91-'93 Legacy Turbo rear diff, which is a 3.90 R160 (some with viscous LSDs). Somebody on NASIOC also supplies what I think are JDM 3.90 R160 units (SpecC4U (?), a vendor from Canada, IIRC).

 

Interestingly enough, the MY08 Spec B comes with this 1:1.1 transfer gear in the 6MT, too (according to the service manual). The rear end is an 3.54 ratio R180.
