Guest Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Oh, I meant f/r distribution, differential types, etc. I know it's Haldex, but not much beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4boxparts Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 sorry, missed that. Weight distribution is 55/45 Weight is roughly 3600lbs Here's a link w/info about the haldex system used in the V70R http://www.haldex-traction.com/download_material/pdf-files/www.haldextraction.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 sorry, missed that. Weight distribution is 55/45 Weight is roughly 3600lbs I meant torque distritbution front/rear wheels. Is it 100% full-time AWD, or just "AWD on slip". LSD in rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's FWD unless it detects slip. It reacts within 1/6 revolution. Stupid things to do, you can turn it into FWD only by pulling on the e-brake 1 click. Evolve was trying to work with Haldex by changing the programming by routing most of the power to the rear wheels when you get on the throttle hard instead of waiting for slip to occur with the front wheels. They were able to do it, but nothing came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4boxparts Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ya, I believe in normal driving 95% of power is going to the front wheels. If slippage occurs up to 95% can be transferred to the rear wheels. It is supposed to work in conjunction w/the 4C system. Ya, I heard that volvo axed the evolve/haldex project.

Legacy_Otaku Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Arnold, Your Sexy Wagon of Doom will sorely be missed! Understandable given your situation. But our Subaru meets won't be the same without your Wagon. Hope to still see you around. Take care~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandman Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 First stop on V70R.com, and: I replaced the R with a '05 subaru legacy gt ltd, I got a stellar deal on it and it's a great car. Car handles great and is pretty quick, no turbo lag at all. Same motor as the STI, minus the larger turbo and connecting rods. Anyway, it's the wifes car and she loves it, not all that I would want in a car ie cabin space and seats but I do like it a lot. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y285/gktuning/DSCN1883.jpg Wonder what it's like driving a 300 hp car with the drive system of a 2.5i? Might be one reason why they sell about 2,500 of them per year..... Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4boxparts Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Bottomline, LGT and v70R they're both good wifey cars. Our lgt was for the wifey and the v70R is for the wifey. I'm stuck w/the stupid honda pilot and the s2k. Waiting on the next gen m3 for myself or maybe another m5.First stop on V70R.com, and: I replaced the R with a '05 subaru legacy gt ltd, I got a stellar deal on it and it's a great car.

Scotty Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I was going to buy a V70R until I started hanging around the Swedespeed forum. What turned me off was the horrible turn circle and all the gremlins people were experiencing like the faulty fuel pump that was a special order item unlike the one used in the rest of the series. Just keep your fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvarizer Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Best bet is IPDusa. If I remember correctly they merged w/rallitek. Rallitek does a lot of sales here on this board. Heico also has a softloader available now, as does BSR. Also Evolve uses powerchip software so it's not as bad as the rest of their products, but lacks a softloader.

Just keep your fingers crossed.hahaha, I noticed the turning circle today. Turning circle sucks balls. We usually keep our cars for a max of 2 years, hopefully those two years will be problem free. Nothing like a Fomoco product for reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 IIRC, the turning circle is actually worse than a Suburban. It was pretty entertaining to read about one guy who almost got stuck in one of those parking garages that has a circular path. Have you gone and hit the Advance button 5 times?

wukindada Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Great site here....when I was looking into the 05 I was going to go with the power package http://www.evolvecars.com/site/index.php?id=80,127,0,0,1,0&hashID=b226e4c4158d43da96cea6231f9134a0 Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

Scotty Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 It firms up the suspension to max stiffness and the stability control allows the car to be really tail happy without completely shutting off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
