    My old 95 BG diff is open? same with the 94 BD diff in another wagon I have? Both 4.1 ratio.

    The gen 1 legacy lsd diffs have a sticker that says 'LSD DIFFERENTAL 4.11' most of the time which makes it easy to determine what it is :P.

    Sweet will try that then! lol

    Normally on all my other 2wd cars you just get a set of wheels off the ground and see how the spin. Obviously a bit different with a 4wd.

    yes I think that works (correct me if im wrong)

    With my BG 5 speed diff I can still spin it if someone holds the other side but my V7 STI rear LSD spins both at the same time.

    Also, The gen 1 lsd's are friggin cheap compared to everything else, id expect $100 or less (plus installing it)

    Where is the gearbox number located?

    Would a WRX rear diff fit?

    Under the intercooler on the passenger side. Should be a sticker. As long as it's a manual, r160 4.1 ratio then yes.

    Hi all, looking to upgrade the rear diff on my 95 TT SW to an LSD unit.

    Do all Legacy TT SW's have the same diff ratio? If not is there a way to tell?

    Which LSD units from which Subaru's will fit?

    Thanks

    If its manual it should be 4.1. The old Rs leggys have LSDs and are also 4.1.

    The best way find out what ratio it is, is to match up the gearbox numbers.

    Was going to do the same thing but Im running 6 speed stuff now.

  5. So my cars stripped back and im putting my 6 speed stuff in but im wanting to change the diff bushes first as there soft nd saggy and it quite noticable when taking off. :-[

    Aparently they are pressed in and out, is there any other way? ???

    My cars on axle stands atm with the rear subframe in. I could pull the rear subframe out if it will make it easier. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated ;D

  6. I work at Tyre City in auckland and I have a 95 legacy that has heaps of suspension/wheel work and I have the exact same problem. I don't like 215/35-18 as theres nothing to them! The best option would be a 215/40-18. Its a higher profile so more sidewall but not wider so stays away from your guards, Ive seen legacys with 225/40-18 and you pretty much have to go standard hight or it rubs like a B**** . 225/35-18 would be good on a 18x8 or 8.5 but there difficult/expensive to get. (not that anything is cheap)

    The 17's i also run are 215/40-17 instead of the correct 215/45-17 which rubbed (my car is low)

    Standard Soft suspension makes it rub more so increasing the stiffness/body roll with swaybars and/or firmer suspension makes everything better.

    Hope this helps =)

    its not a valve - more just a breather. would be ideal to have to be honest as you dont want s*** falling in there. I have a spare rear diff backing plate at home and it may still have it on. they are easy enough find - just pinch one off a wreaked one. they are just plastic clips that hold it on.

    Do only 6 speed diffs have them?

    If its the very top it will most likely be the dif breather . . . Which should have a little one way valve sort of thing which lets pressure out but nothing in . . . .

    Could be the diff breather.

    That would explain it :-\

    Ive been hunting around on the net and it seems it may be legal (ish) to have no side indicators. Hopefully its legal or certable. After much thought I may remove trim and indicator but leave indent there. Clean and tidy. ill practise on my spare door ;)

    maybe LEGAL but dangerous I would not do it

    Yes, very true.

    just shave it out and have nothing!

    do doors etc while your at it, looks tidy as

    Great idea in theory. It has to be unnoticeable though which means hours and hours of work. Plus I will still need an indicator of some sort :-\

    I have a spare door I may practice on + test durability. All handles will stay, function over looks. I wouldn't mind seeing someones car that has had this done.

    have seen it done once in the states- its poos - dont do it :P

    harder than its worth - I have talked it over with many a panel beater and they did not want to touch it

    even if I did the hard work like My bonnet, they would not finish it

    Can I be a pain and ask why? does it have to do with the sh**y a$$ curve in the door or just the fact its so much to fill.

    Other wise I have 2 options;

    A- Would be to remove trim, fill holes from clips. And then i still need an indicator or;

    B-Just paint it silver and have tinted indicators (Most simple-boring way)

    I just want a clean mess free look without looking 'aftermarket' or 'ricer'

    I will defanatly get some pictures up of my build very soon...

  13. So... I am looking int removing and shaving the trim down the side of the guard and doors. This will include getting rid of the factory indicator. Does any have any idea what I could put in its place. I would really like a small dome one. All ideas and help appreciated. Im super stuck on this one.

    Cheers, Dilly.
