SUBE555 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Do you even have to ask? Considering I've been semi-heavily driving on un-plowed country roads for the last couple years, RallyX, can you guess it? That's right, the Beauty of AWD!

titsataki Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Might I say a Spec C active differential? It can even be set as a rear wheel drive. The best of both worlds. Otherwise AWD (and I do not even live in a place that snows :) ) Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Yeah, for summer driving, RWD is a little bit more fun, or at least a more RWD bias. Have yet to have the diff set in lock on snow in my buddys STi. Alright now I know what we have to try out next time I'm over. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waflowers Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Every time it rains here in Florida (daily during the summer) I'm eternally greatful for the beauty of AWD! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ20H-TT Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Yep AWD it sure feels solid in all conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPower Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Can I vote for the ATTESA type AWD? RWD until extra help is needed is a great compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I heard ATTESA is a wee bit heavy too. The RWD burnouts and then to a supposed AWD is about the coolest thing of the system.

Got a vid of Nagata from Top Secret doing one in a tunnel. ;)[/quote] It is no more heavy than the addition of AWD onto any other car. I'm guessing that a RWD Legacy could weigh in about 150-200lbs lighter. SUBE, that's a difference like driving with or without your girlfriend. ;) :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Girlfriend, my girlfriend is my car. So that's a 3200Lb girlfriend? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerJay Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Fat Girls are like mopeds, fun to ride till you get caught on top of one. I'm an avid snowboarder, so I need awd and I hate driving trucks/suv's etc. It would be nice to get the awd system off of the Spec C or like the Atessa system.

team23jordan Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 is legacy's AWD system kinda like infinity g35 AWD?? except it doesn't go 10:90 or 90:10 Perrin BIG maf intake Perrin Turbo Inlet HKS SSQV BOV Megan Racing header with UP (ceramic coated) HKS DP (WRX) DMH E-cutout Custom 3" catback UTEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 No, team23, Subaru Symmetrical AWD is extremely different from ATTESA. It is split 50:50 f/r in the manual tranny cars and 45/55 f/r in the automatics. Then, depending on which wheels are slipping, it sends power to the other(s). The only difference on the Spec C is like the STi with DCCD and a front LSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Spec C gets virtually same setup as USDM STi. The Legacy setup will likely be basically the same as the FXT though with different ratios including the FDR. ALL Subaru AWD systems are very similar. Remember, Subaru's are like Legos. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy92ej22t Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Definitely Full-time AWD except if it was bone dry and I was road course racing or something, then I may want RWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
