PGT Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 they don't have better stopping power?....but atleast they're pertty they do in my opinion, but that's up for debate (or not if you ask Rao ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatChips107 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 you cannot compare STI performance to an LGT without thousands done to it... my stage2 LGT is as quick as STI (stock) on a straight line.. but other than that it is highly inferior... who needs comfort when what you really want is SPEED?!

I would like both comfort and speed, the car in stock form fits the bill quite nicely, but of course there is always more to be had, just think of how boring it would be if Subaru made it perfect from the factory and all we got to do was drive. Stock for Stock, I would not say the LGT is "highly inferior". Just apples to oranges, but then again, blended juices are sometimes better than the pure taste of one or the other if you get my drift. I'm wiped, pictures will come later, some lucky B'stard is getting my "old" STI with Coated GP MOTO equal length headers, Crucial Shorty and a TurboXS axel back, just add EM of choice and go. The dealer was nice enough to add $900.00 for my mods if I left them on the car, but I kept my unmarried AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK and from everything I've read, the STI AP won't work with the LGT. So what are your plans for the AP? Are you going to convert one of your LGTs to and a full STI setup?

But I'm going strait to Cobb Stage 2 after the break in. The short shifter is sweet, it feels better than my STI's stock shifter, I just need a shorter shift knob to replace the stocker.

RabidMonk Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The 6MT would be a waste on the LGT without a larger snail. After the shift from first your RPMs would constantly be beyond the stock turbo's ability to maintain substantial boost. A close-ratio gearbox needs better breathing up top than the stock turbo can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Okay - that's the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen the word "snail" and I can't for the life of me, pull it out of context. What the heck is a "snail" on a FI car? IBneedinmoreeducation SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Ah so desu ka? Wakarimasu, ima nei. My education for the day is complete - but I can tell you that I would never have made that association.
