No you don't.

I won't say yes or no, but the 2000 Legacy shares nothing with the GC and GD Impreza as far as rear suspension goes, therefore you will not be able to do a simple hub swap like the GC Impreza and BD Legacy (ie 1995-1999 models) can.

I used my 5spd crossmember and a 6spd mount.

I run an ACT 6 puck sprung with the HD pressure plate, but then again the setup going into my car will not handle the street disk. My 6 puck has deceleration noise.

However, the R180 is taller and wider than the R160 and you can't put an R180 (180mm R&P) into a R160 (160mm R&P). Also the "differential" in the R160 is so puny that I wouldn't even consider it a differential.

I just realized I made a mistake in my last little paragraph. I meant to say you need to find a pull style pressure plate and throwout bearing and not flywheel.

Not necessarily. The 05-09 Legacy GT/Outback XT use a push style pressure plate and throwout bearing, fork, and slave cyl. The WRX clutch that is referred to in the NASIOC thread refers to the fact that 02-07 WRX 5spds use a pull style clutch that is the same as what the 04+ 6spds use. If you want to run a 5spd clutch and flywheel on your 6spd setup you would need to find a pull style pressure plate and flywheel, in which case its then better just to find a 6spd clutch/PP/fly.

I paid $2800 shipped for an 05 STi tranny with 50k miles on it and it came with a flywheel, clutch, and shifter assembly. Then another $400 shipped for an R180. 04-06 you wont notice a difference in gearing compared to the 07+ trannies so I'd go with what you can find cheapest. The 04-05 have weaker 5th and 6th gear synchros compared to the 06+.

You need to do a lot more reading on the subject. You won't be able to run 5x114 hubs unless you do some custom machining (read: not worth it). As far as DCCD Controller, an easier setup than wiring in the factory DCCD controller is the DCCDPro controller. I run it with my 6spd and it's a great system and very painless install. I would recommend it over trying to wire in the factory DCCD anytime. Factory front axles will work without issues. If the rear axles are the same as the 05-09 LGT, then you can get 07-09 Spec B axles and run them with the R180. There is no need to swap rear hubs or front hubs. Find a driveshaft from a 4EAT Legacy (05-09 Automatic 2.5i N/A Legacy)

Only the 4EAT and 07-09 Spec B driveshaft works with the 6spd

Weird, I swapped in my 5spd reverse switch and my reverse lights work everytime.

I paid $145 for mine, but that's because I happened to luck out and a junk yard very close to me had one.

Yeah, woops heh. I'd have no problem helping you installing it, I just wish you were much closer.

Hollywood is a farther drive from Tampa than Boca, albeit both drives are quite long. enaggs, get with me before you purchase that turbo kit so we can discuss how to tackle the project and what not. I may not own a shop and working on cars is not my profession, but I am very meticulous with anything I install, whether it's on my car, or someone else's car.

I'm sorry but S&R is a joke. I've personally worked on 3 cars (1 of them I had the motor apart) that S&R built and there were bolts that were over-torqued which left me with sheared bolts, broken timing cover, head gaskets reused, and somehow they missed an unsealed valve before putting a motor back together. I've seen their work and truthfully, I'm not impressed. Honestly, the thing I stress the most when it comes to modding cars is to learn how to do everything yourself and when it comes to custom fabrication, find yourself someone that does great work at a great price if you can't do it yourself. Since you're in Tampa, if you want to learn how to install the parts yourself, I'm always willing to help fellow enthusiasts.

Where do you live now? Bradenton?

Thanks, we seem to always end up not following through with any meets we decide to make. Hell I think we've been planning on a Legacy meet for the past 6 months. I do drive up to Pasco every once in a while when a bunch of Subie owners meet up there on Sundays. Usually when there is a holiday on the following Monday. When my semester ends this winter, I may just organize something myself. Somewhere between Orlando and Tampa so that both groups will be able to join (yes that includes you Jon as well).

LOL, it's pretty hard to miss my car. Majority of the time around USF area. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3363/3626699627_2a858e4471.jpg

I'm in Tampa, currently down with a broken axle, but still here.

Weird, it didn't do it for me. It was pretty close to the radio when using the 05 rod and stay.

Also, a little bit of information for those that get an STi shift linkage. You can buy a 07+ Spec B stay rod and shifter rod so that it puts the shifter in the center of the console opening. You will reuse the STi shift lever and reverse lockout cable as well as the rubber boot thing on the bottom. If you plan on upgrading to an aftermarket shifter and are using the STi shift linkage, only 04-07 STi lever will work as after having a discussion and sending pictures to Tom @ Kartboy, he said that only the 04-07 STi shift lever will work with the STi linkage setup. Part #'s for those that have STi shift linkages and want to center their shifters without cutting/welding/spacing: Spec B Shifter Rod: 35041AG020 Spec B Shifter Stay: 35031AG020

Another 6MT swapped LGT checking in The 05 STi 6spd is perfect for the stock turbo

Shocker GT 07/17/2010 60' time: 1.824 1/4 mile time: 13.224 trap speed: 101.02 track: Bradenton Motorsports Park elevation: 19 feet temperature: 86F with 70% humidity 2005 5MT VF40 93 Octane Water Injection: no Nitrous: no Tires/inflation pressure: 34psi Other supporting modifications: Cobb catless DP, Greddy SP2 Exhaust, Cobb OTS Stage 2, STi UP I really need a bigger turbo, the VF40 just dies out too much in 4th gear. A tune will get me close to 12s though.

It would help if you changed your location from KS to where ever you are in Florida. There is also Mastro in Tampa...

I take it that our wheel speed sensor is not on the front diff then.
