35:65 ><? is it possible ??

Hi everyone.
well, I have a 04 impreza GX (( same as the RS but with 2.0L N/A )), and its 5 speed MT. as I know that the power split is 50:50 for my car but I want to make it locked @ 35:65 . Is it possible ? by the way can any body tell me how to find out if my car has front and rear LSD ? cuz I'm not that good in mechanics.

I don't know much about your model, but I really doubt it has front or rear LSD.

Replacing the transmission and rest of the driveline with those from an STi would give you front and rear LSD and a 35/65 split

If the GX is the same as the RS, then it doesn't have an LSD.

Why would you want the perma-split anyway?

well changing the transsmision is the last thing that I may do cuz it cost too much and take alot of time .

do you mean that I dose not have front and rear LSD ? or only the rear ?
but ya I want to make my car 35:65 cuz when I drive hard in the rain I get alot of understeering, also I don't want the car to oversteer too much so little oversteering is what I'm looking for (( I want the feel of the rwd more than the fwd cuz AWD is acting same as any fwd car which make me sick ))

but is it true that is the 35:65 power split is not suitable for an impreza equiped with ABS ??

I don't think the WRX even has a LSD front or rear.

Btw, is the torque split in the WRX 50:50 as well?

Assuming the Subarus sold in your area would be the same as the European models...

Here's the '05 specs for the GX / WRX per the subaru.co.uk site:

Says no LSD on GX; yes LSD on WRX.

WRX has a viscous rear LSD, and is 50:50 for manual transmission
