whitetiger Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 you need to find out the mileage on it, but for the most part, they don't go bad. 05+ is what you want so it is the right one. you should get him under $300 for such an old unit though. remember a new one is $650. a 7yo used should be half price or less.

nm Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Can't the spec-b transmission drop the diff without cracking open the case? If so, there's not really a reason not to do a clutch type at least if the fear is the rebuild. I drove my car in anger for the first time in months (and will be the last time for a while as the coilovers are going in for rebuild next week). Over very rough pavement. God damn, that diff, I'm still in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew888 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 OK so I picked up my car from 5 weeks of hell about 3 weeks ago with nothing really to report on until now. I basically had a euphoric experience while transitioning from one fwy to another. Traffic got real light and the speeds were averaging around 75 mph ( I was doing more like 85). I decide to transition to another fwy and in doing so saw nothing but a gracefull steady sweeper so I kept the speed up. Three seconds into this gradual high speed turn I see a sign for 45mph. I know I can take this without too much drama but I hadn't taken this route in a while. The Star Specs were nice and warm and provided great feedback and just past the apex it started to tighten a little and then a little more. I was now in a high speed 4 wheel drift (not really, more like detecting I was on the edge of adhesion and they were not going to give me more). Near the end it tightend more than I remembered. I'm now slowly pushing outward and feathering the throttle wasn't enough. As I see myself getting closer to a curb that divides the onramp I decide to get more aggressive with the throttle and that was the trick! It felt like the front tires just woke up and decided to go to work. My drift stopped and I could feel the front end pulling me around. The more throttle I gave the easier it was to hold the line. I could not have done this (wouldn't have tried) with an open diff up front. At least not without some very different dynamics and a lot of drama. My clue that adding in throttle was the way to go was based off my only other experience on this LSD and that was a very tight onramp by my work place where I gave it too much throttle (not too much with my previous open diff) and the car turned in fairly abruptly -- just the LSD at work. I wasn't ready for it but what a pleasant surprise! My major complaint a couple years ago about having no suspension options and hating my understeer (after experimenting with many adjustments) had nothing to do with my set up and had everything to do with the front LSD! I am in love with this thing! [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1586"VbGallery/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew888 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Dude I got shafted and paid dearly but at least I have my car back and its running ok. The small td05 Tomioka 20g is just that...small. It's screaming for a 10cm housing I am enjoying it and now working on a custom coolant overflow tank that will slide under the KSTech intake using TMIC piping welded to an L shape. I cannot track it with the tiny Mishimoto tank. And to stay on topic...Love that LSD!!!

diamond dawg Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Is this the right LSD for a 5speed gearbox (outback) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181040071385?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you can remove the axle stubs, it will look exactly like the unit from Rallispec, and it's a much better price! The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond dawg Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Is it this one one then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140896992044?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Or was the first one the right one, but with axle stubs?

Underdog Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 2006 Legacy GT 5MT (USDM) For reference, the differential is from the JDM STI RA Ver.6. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Would it be safe to assume that any front HLSD from a 5spd JDM STI (GC8, 1992-1999), obviously the newer/lower mileage would work? Time to go sifting through the part-out ads.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 you have to be aware of ones with built in axle stubs. those wont work directly with newer model axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Still a bunch of work to be done on other areas of the car before it's running again, but I finally installed the JDM FLSD yesterday. Backlash came in right at .005" and the contact pattern looks good. Decided to keep the drive pinion shims as is (0.6mm thick vs. the 0.45mm indicated by the tool) to avoid overlapping patterns, as this R&P has 87,000 miles on it. Thanks to Dave@Rallispec for the sanity check on that. I'll do a separate thread with more pictures of the process, and info about the front diff, 5MT DCCD w/ MapDCCD controller, and Moore Performance Blast Plates.
