Bought some pink for my Subaru… but it’s no STI or “i” badge. It’s the fuzzy fibers that likely line the walls of your house, and now line the walls of my barn. This is Canadian car life.
Odd that it took me almost 7 years to get around to this. Oh… how my car life would be different from what it is today if I had done this sooner. I’d probably have some frankenstein AE86 still. Typically I’ve had a very short window for serious wrenching. It’s basically just September, October…. and maybe a few days scattered throughout the winter when warm winds blow. Today, the temperature outside was -22 degrees c, and yet snow was melting in the barn.
Super bonus.
What prompted this now though? Why a front LSD install for the WRX… it’s as major a job as any I’ve ever done. The ice on the lake is thickening… I be out there soon.
Warm wrenching is happy wrenching!
Oh geeze
lsd and locked, lake and snow.
I want a fun winter car 🙁 whaaa
So which LSD did you decide to go with? Cusco? AP?
Having used clutch LSD’s on front axles before, I wanted to go helical. It’s just an OBX unit. They’re cheap too… and this is certainly no bling build.
The welded rear diff though, is the best free mod I’ve ever done. The car already behaves very very nicely on really slippery stuff… certainly leaps and bounds better than the other 4WD, turbo cars I’ve owned.
