    The spec c is mine, I've had it for about a year as well now. Did you get yours from Autospot?

     

    Nga some random 2nd hand yard in Nelson, found an ad online, paid for it before it landed with them from Japan. I suspect they didn't really know what they had arriving comparing it to std. STi prices at the time, I wasn't going to turn down a bargain on a limited production run rocket ship 😁

    How much does a 5 speed replacement cost?

    6th gear in my v7 STi is almost the exact same overall ratio as 5th in a 4.444 5-speed. It is definitely usable on the street within the speed limit.

    Not really on topic though as the question was about the 5-speed.

     

    As we stray further off topic, no idea what the ratio is in my v11 spec c but 100Kph in 6th is sub 2000 RPM. Extra forward momentum requires a shift down unless you have knitting to finish or an insect to shoo out of the c**kpit to pass the time

    When was the last time the gearbox had fresh oil?

     

    Looks like used a 5 spd box if/when required (I've never had any issues with the 5spd, but I dont beat them either), throwing in a whole gearbox is a lot easier than ripping one apart to replace things, or spend a healthy chunk of $ on a 6spd STi swap

     

    I suspect your wallet has the answer you seek

     

    Edit: That 6th gear is no use in a daily driver, is cool etc. but 100Kph in 6th isn't a happy place for your car, and doesn't realize any fuel savings. Pushing the boat out at track day is the only place it will get used, legally anyway

    GGA/bugeye wagon rear suspension

    in Impreza, Crosstrek and XV

    Posted

    Rear suspension is on the way out (well one has given up already from the ride and noises) Normally when things expire I just bolt in and STi equivalent but I'm told this is not an item that can be transplanted straight from a GD sedan?

     

    If that's the case whats the go to aftermarket strut for the GG? Not looking for trackday, just a decent upgrade from std. 

     

    Cheers!

    GD vs GG suspension

    in Impreza, Crosstrek and XV

    Posted

    Been a while, new site looks good great work team!

    So I hear many different opinions on this, GD wont fit GG (or will but with major camber issues) GD front shocks will fit the front of GG but not rear to rear. Need a warrant soon and have some leaks, dont want to waste money/time on somthing that wont fit!

    Does any have the definative answer?

    Also if anyone has a set of something STi or aftermarket for the front of a GG let me know!

    Thanks
